  Santalum acuminatum - Growing Native Plants
Quandong is found in a wide variety of habitats characterised by generally nutrient poor, free draining soils.
Using one that dominates the pot or crowds the seedling is not advisable because the Quandong has some uptake from its roots and may be outcompeted.
The Quandong sapling needs to be planted within range of the roots of at least two potential hosts.

 Propagation of the Quandong
However, quandongs are not adapted to pot culture.
I have found mulching and tree guards prepared from shadecloth to be beneficial to the establishment of pot-grown quandongs.
Quandong seedlings are quite heterogeneous (variable), so you can't be sure of getting a good plant from seed.

The quandong fruit is only similar to peaches (and apricots) in that it has a stoney seed and a subtle peach-apricot flavour.
I like to finely slice the quandong halves and use these as a garnish over sweet or savoury dishes including marla (kangaroo) steaks, seared tuna, Asian noodles, lamb shanks or finish a meal with ice cream or tarts topped with quandong confit and drizzled with quandong fruit confit syrup.

Both cultivars have PBR status pending and are consequently protected from any body purporting to be able to sell any propagation material from these trees or use their names or any derivatives of their names (such as Powell 1) to sell propagation material.
It is expected Quorn Quandongs will be able to gather sufficient scion material by September 2003 for its own use to complete a 4,000 tree orchard of grafted Powell’s Red Supremes by April 2004.
Quorn Quandongs anounced today that it has secured the rights to develop the new PBR Protected (Status Pending) cultivar known as Saltbush Lane.

 CSIRO PUBLISHING - Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture
Quandong growth, as measured by height and dry-mass accumulation, was significantly improved when grown in the presence of a host plant compared with being grown alone.
Quandong grown with a host achieved an average height of 45 cm, while those grown alone grew up to only 37 cm.
Quandong grown with Myoporum parvifolium and Atriplex nummularia accumulated a significantly greater amount of dry biomass than quandong grown alone.

Quandong exhibited a significantly more negative water potential than the neighbouring plant species at both field sites during summer and winter.
A water potential difference of 1.7 MPa was maintained between quandong and its putative host over a measurement period of 24 h.
Stomatal conductance and assimilation of quandong were lower than those of the neighbouring plants at both Middleback and Aldinga during both summer and winter measurements.

 SRN - Sandalwood Research Newsletter
With the development of direct seeding of quandong and sandalwood next to appropriate host plants proving to be a simple and efficient technique, field grafting would nicely complement the development of uniform orchards.
There also exists the potential to graft quandong onto established sandalwood, thereby allowing harvesting of trunks and roots of sandalwood, when the quandongs orchard usefulness has passed.
Field grafting of quandongs has so far met with limited success and involves a complex multilayered technique to protect the scion material from the elements.

The beautiful Kuranda Quandong (Elaeocarpus bancroftii) began flowering in late April, and as we move into June the flowers are being replaced with large, green fruits.
These fruits contain thick shelled nuts which are shaped like rugby balls and have slender almond-shaped kernels inside; the fruit and kernels are edible and are a favourite food source for the rare Southern Cassowary.
To access the tasty Kuranda Quandong kernels, you have to hit the seed at the point where the 'lines' meet and the seed will split open.

There is a wide range of plants that quandongs will attatch themselves to, it does not seem to matter what species.
However, if you are thinking of starting an orchard, it is reccomended that the host be a woody species for long term health of the plants.
For example, quandongs supplied from Muntari Wild Food Plants nursery use Kunzea pomifera and Billardiera cymosa for host plants, as both produce edible fruits and will not out grow the quandong plant itself while still in the nursery and both are woody species.
