few inquiries....

It will not be Coconut palm.its not only the matter of cool or warm climate.Coconut only grows in port land areas like Karachi.it needs the humidity of sea side areas.Big sb is right which variety is the double Apple.grafting two different varieties is not actual problem.you can even graft 6-7 varieties.actual problem is the chill hours.if its low chill hour variety then it will fruit other wise don,t expect any fruits.

aoa,
from what i remember when i bought the apple plant from the nursery he told me one kind was kadaree apple(red apple from sindh) and the other was golden. i didn't want to buy the apple but was intrigued by the word 'double apple" so hence went with it. i know abt the chill hrs that they require a minimum of 500 hrs of chill weather to blossom and fruit properly. i think i will be able to achieve that during the december to march period as my area is nicely placed in front of a park and hence get much colder than rest.
about the coconut palm i have for the time being drop the plan to buy it. first i will inspect the plant which my mali has grown and then decide on it.
and about my previous post there was a typo. i mean few trees not free trees as nothing is free in this world. the trees which i got are lagerstoemia mobile, empress tree and candy cloud tree.
thanx

tyvm izhaar for the names... is Jujube also called bair which is the size of khajoor.

Bair is too generic a fruit name. Anaab is a specific fruit. Although the genus are same.
