Lyndall Canistel forms an attractive evergreen tree with glossy, long green leaves and small white-to-green flowers. The fruit ripens to a bright yellow-orange skin with smooth, dense, non-fibrous flesh. It thrives in well-draining soil mixes and responds positively to regular feeding during active growth periods.

Interesting Notes:
Canistel fruit is dense in nutrient content, packed with niacin, carotene, and vitamin C. The smooth flesh can be eaten fresh, blended into milkshakes, or baked into cakes and pies as a natural sweetener.

A standout choice for rare fruit enthusiasts looking to add an exotic, high-yielding tropical flavour to their Perth food forest setup.
