John says... All my trees are growing well. They have got to me in october i think. I will give you an answer on the custard apples in four years, jacks about 3 years, paws in 10 months, and mangoes grow well around here. The guavas do to. My star apple would be my slowest growing and perhaps the hardest to grow here. I have lost a red pitaya, more to mishandling than anything else. | About the Author John10 SB South Australia 23rd January 2008 11:04am #UserID: 549 Posts: 127 View All John10's Edible Fruit Trees |

vanl says... Hi Anonymous, African Fride custard apples grow and fruit really well in SA. They are very hardy and no need for shade cloth. I also have Gefner custard apple. It is about 4 years old, but no fruit yet. It also grows very well. Cherimoyas (if you also consider them to be a custard apple) are also fairly easy to grow. | About the Author SA 20th October 2008 12:10pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

frances says... I have a custard apple plant which has grown from a twig to half a metre tall in a pot. What do I do now? How tall can it grow? I have a choice of full sun (and wind)or under a tall plum tree or in a corner of the back yard which is sunny for part of the day and protected by two fences.

If your African Pride fruits Peter I see no reason why the PM won't -------- "is it safe to spray water on the leaves in the evening?" Yep, be aware that you might wash off any spray that you have used so it would be best to water first, then spray.

Shaun says... Despite the many weeks of warm weather, my Sweetsop only grows a few small new leaves, and had stopped giving out new shoots ..... :-( It still appears in a sorry state (although a little better than during late-winter / early-mid-spring), is rather twiggy and appears weak ..... what must I do to encourage it to grow faster? ..... If it continue this way, I am afraid it may not survive the coming winter in 2009. Any tips will be appreciated ===================================== p/s: Corey, thanks for the plastic label of the Sweetsop .... received it last week when I got back to Perth. | About the Author WA / Perth 12th February 2009 9:04pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

vanl says... Hi Jatina, I have been inundated with work, hence less time to check this forum. Anyway congrats. The killer SA heat wave burnt a fair few of my trees including the cherimya. They do not handle heat very well. After adding plenty of water and seasol, they are all sprouting again. BTW, in response to your other post, I was after the KJ Pinks variety. Cheers. | About the Author SA 26th February 2009 11:18am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... vanl, glad to hear your plants have responded to the seasol and water, that heat was enough to fry anything. Rats I had a Pinks Mammoth in my head. ok I will write KJ Pinks on a piece of paper and keep it in my purse. I get around with my work and you never know where one might turn up.

vanl says... Peter, I have a "white" cherimoya. No fruit yet but maybe because I don't know how to pollinate cherimoyas properly. It is about 3m high. On the other hand, custard apples are partially self fertile. I have "Gefner" and "African Pride". The African Pride didn't recover too well after the heat wave. I think its time for a replacement as land is scarce in my backyard :-) | About the Author SA 23rd April 2009 1:24pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... I have an african pride and a hiliary white (i was told i needed both?) they are nearly three years old and the african pride had 4 small yummy fruit without any help from me. They are still very wobbly in the ground though - does it take time for the tap-root to establish strongly? (ps - mine survived a week of 38 - 42 oC no problems this summer)They have constant subsurface irrigation from our Biolytix system (not a lot as only 2 people in the house)and surface irrigation. | About the Author amanda19 geraldton WA 10th May 2009 5:35pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mariana says... In our previous residence, we had a fully grown custard apple tree in the ground which bore fruit. We have since moved to another house and I have grown another tree from seed. It is currently about half a metre tall and is in a 17cm pot. I need to transplant it as the leaves are turning yellow but I don't want to put it into the ground because I may extend on the house in years to come and don't have much ground. Please advise how large the container should be. Would half a barrel be large enough?

Ellen says... Tropicdude I have a muricata and B.Sapote both in pots, the reason people change potting soils every so often is to maintain that high level of nutrients and performance of quality soil for your plant . Over time if you dont feed it with composts often, or every so often you just chuck in a handful of those slow release of fertilisers to feed the plant only, it is not enough to sustain a healthy plant , drainage level in the soil deteriorate, what you water in came out right through, couldn't sustain the moist level in the soil to feed the roots of your plant. http://garden.blogtells.com/2008/03/14/potting-and-repotting/ and when you do have to cut back some roots, just cut back dead roots only, each time you transfer it from one pot to another, be very careful, it will go into shock. And yes, I happen to have a b.sapote in a pot too. After tasting this fruit the other day, through my local vegie shop, I think this plant is a bit over rated | About the Author Ellen Smithfield 17th October 2009 3:22pm #UserID: 1339 Posts: 309 View All Ellen's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tropicdude says... May i suggest this link: http://www.icuc-iwmi.org/files/Publications/Annona_Manual.pdf everything you ever wanted to know about Annonas (Annona cherimola, A. muricata, A. reticulata, A. senegalensis and A. squamosa) but didn't know who to ask :) pay particular attention to pollination, if I remember the technique, you should collect pollen from male flowers in the evening then the next morning pollinate the female flowers. ( Squamosa, reticulatas etc ) the Muricata ( Guanabana or Sour Sop ) shouldnt have pollination problems, its usually the Sweet Sop, Pond Apples, Sugar Apples, Cherymoyas, and Atemoyas that usually need assistance. | About the Author Tropicdude 20th October 2009 3:50pm #UserID: 2856 Posts: 24 View All Tropicdude's Edible Fruit Trees |

Tropicdude says... Thank you Ellen for the Potting information, thats good to know as I have a very small patio ( city dweller here boo hoo ) and everything is in pots or some other container. that link also answered another question I had, which was, whether I should transplant at dormant stage or when plant is flushing. according to that link I should transplant when in dormant phase. my particular plant just started flushing a couple weeks ago, so Ill wait till it goes dormant again. | About the Author Tropicdude 21st October 2009 3:09am #UserID: 2856 Posts: 24 View All Tropicdude's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ellen says... Shaun I think your sweetsop is deciduous just like my soursop is. Looks can be deceiving Shaun, don't give up on it, keep water it just enough to keep the root system moist. I was about to give up on my soursop too, until I read some of the green thumbers in my edible pages and their comments . I've relocate my annona muricata (soursop) into a warmer location(as I had placed them in pots) and it is spurting with yound shoots now . My previous mistake with my last sweetsop 5 yrs ago was I too thought that it had died, but it was not so b/c it went dormant over the winter. So I stop watering it . And sure enough it did died. | About the Author Ellen Smithfield 24th October 2009 2:36am #UserID: 1339 Posts: 309 View All Ellen's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... It should be a Cherimoya, they at least used to use Cherimoya as a rootstock and I believe that's still the standard thing to do since it's a strong grower. I'd take a seedling Cherimoya over any Atemoya any day so, better let it grow out and chop the top off any others you have while you are there :) | About the Author Jason Portland 21st October 2010 6:47pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... Ricki, yes if you are talking about papaya you just need to put them in potting mix and keep it warm (25c ish). It's the same deal with custard apple, they don't take many years to fruit from seed either, Cherimoyas are the same but a pure breed and just taste better. If you are talking about paw paw (from Northern America which I guess you are in a custard apple thread) then they need to be soaked for a day or so then put in a moist mix then stuck in the fridge for 3 months, then they will germinate | About the Author Jason Portland 30th October 2010 7:24pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

I have transplanted my tree into a 350mm size pot just 2 months ago i.e. September 10 and I'm so chuffed to report that my tree is very happy and that I have counted thus far 6 'flowers'.

BJ says... The new atemoya cv is on the market. 'Paxton Prolific', which I believe is the retail version of the KJ Pinks custard apple. Supposed to be fully self pollinating and prolific and just about as good as Pinks Mammoth, but with a hell of a lot less work. I saw them at my local nursery, and I think they'll be going into most Bunnings too, as they have the same marketing as a number of other Bunnings plants. It is a bit pricey though at $40+ but I may get one after Xmas and see how it goes. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 22nd December 2010 10:56am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Yay, picked up two Paxton prolific s and two of the new Tropic sun Atemoya s today. It was a long drive to Canley Vale Nursery in Sydney but it was definately worth it. Also picked up a 2mtr Kwai Muk and a Giant Granadilla, excellent fruit tree nursery. While in the area I had the opportunity to peruse some exotic fruit shops in Cabramatta. A bit of an eye opener, tried the Santol and Yellow Dragonfruit and bought a Durian but havn t opened it, I don t have any nose plugs. Also bought a 1kg custard apple.

John Mc says... Yes, it's a great nursery. Did you see how advanced the Longans and Lychees were? I'm going to try and make it a bi-annual event. The people running it are very nice as well. The shops in the Cabramatta shopping centre blew me away. I thought I was in another part of the world, definately not Australia.

Michael says... I was there at 10.30 this morning . I go there at least once a month just to browse( I live just 5 minutes down the road ). They have very advance trees which i like and I got my lychee from them as well. There is a massive lychee tree in the house next door on Canly Vale road . It was starting to fruit last month when I saw it .

Peter says... Is Tropic Sun really self-pollinating? I can't find anything on the net about it and the breeders would probably boast about it, protect it by plant breeder rights and earn some extra money (I think there is no PBR). Maybe it works ok in more humid areas, but I am not sure for Perth...At least they promise 40% pollination for Paxton Prolific and hopefully thats enough for getting fruit in hot-dry Perth. | About the Author Peter36 Perth 11th March 2011 12:00pm #UserID: 5034 Posts: 213 View All Peter36's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... I'd believe it's possible to have a Custard apple that sets all it's flowers by default. I saw a Cherimoya literally killing itself from how much fruit had set on it, maybe 1000 fruit or more. There were other trees around it that were behaving normally with a few fruit here and there so I think it was just something genetic with that tree | About the Author Jason Portland 11th March 2011 2:17pm #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

Peter says... Wayne, you probably have got the right advice as your area has probably enough humidity and low enough temperature for the flower parts to have a longer life before they dry out. In hotter and drier areas around flowering time there is not enough overlap between viable pollen and receptive female part of the flower - that's why the trick of collecting pollen in the afternoon, storing in fridge overnight and brushing it inside a flower in female stage the next morning works out fine. All this attention is not needed in South America, as they have their native beetle pollinating. Also still good fruit set of cultivars in more milder-humid parts of the world like your area. For people living further south in the deep subtropics, Paxton Prolific might be better suited as a mutation has done something towards a better fruit set. A bit of guessing in there, but that's how I try to make sense of it... | About the Author Peter36 Perth 11th March 2011 5:33pm #UserID: 5034 Posts: 213 View All Peter36's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... Jantina, in Mexico. The main old cemetery in Puebla city not sure if it was the South end or North end of the city since I never do get used to the upside down sun :D. There's usually Cherimoyas and sapotes growing in every cemetery because on day of the dead people bring gifts of the favorite things for the dead and lay them on the grave. So lots of dead peoples favorite fruits grow from the seeds all over the place. There's also a lot of Cherimoya trees in the main central park in Mexico city, the best one I saw was somewhere not far from the Australian embassy in another park, it was LOADED with large almost ripe fruit. Also in Southern Mexico there was some other Anona species they also called Chirimoya (but it wasn't) growing up on the top of the mountains just under the pine tree line. Not sure what exactly it was since it wasn't the right season for them. But the local guy told me I must! come back in Cherimoya season since they are way better than mangos, which were ripe at the time I was there.

Wayne says... Imagine Cherimoya trees growing in public places here. Close by the Capricornia Nursery is Orams nursery. http://www.oramsnurseries.com.au/fruiting.html I got to talking to the lady there about polinating Cherimoyas by hand and I told her that my tree was setting some fruit by itself. She then told me that the bug doing the polinating was the vinegar fly and to hang pineapple scraps eg. in the tree.

Peter says... Thanks for sharing this information about the vinegar fly. I heard something along that line about custard apple growers who leave a small portion of their crop on the ground to let it rot underneath the tree. I like the version with the pineapple scraps hanging, so there is no breeding ground for the fruit fly. I have a compost tumbler next to my custard apple with hundreds of vinegar flies escaping when I open it and I imagine they fly out through the small holes of the tumbler as well... | About the Author Peter36 Perth 12th March 2011 1:34pm #UserID: 5034 Posts: 213 View All Peter36's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... My Cherimoyas do self pollinate here but only very late in the flowering season (too late to ripen before the Spring leaf drop). The conditions here when they self pollinate are cool nights (6-10c) and fog most nights once the sun goes down.

Miranda says... I have a sugar apply tree, set it's first fruit late February last year after a night of rain. it was too late to ripen, and was split in early winter. Last month, it set it's second fruit.(I didn't hand polinate, as it is a slow growing tree, still very small.)This one may not be ripen.There are so many flowers. Last week, I decided to practise hand pollination. I used a small brush transfer pollen from fully open with aroma scent flowers to half open flowers, and mist the tree in the evening. I now have 6 small fruits. My problem is how to encough the tree to grow faster and bigger? next year, I will try hand polinate early spring, so I can have ripen fruits.

John Mc says... I think you've nailed it yourself Miranda. I see the sugar apple flowered much earlier but didn't self pollinate because of the dry weather. Next time start much earlier in the season, Jason says not to polinate too early, let the first flowers go and then start your hand pollinating. I think you'll have a bumper crop next year.

Miranda says... Thank you all for your adivice. We have just moved from a townhouse to a house, so most of my fruit trees are still in pots. I didn't put the sugar apple in lager pot, as it does not have many roots like other trees, may be the potting mixing is not right. but it finally gets full sun after we moved house. will change to large pot soon. it is heavy clay soil here, so I need to improve the soil structure befor I can put it in the ground. | About the Author Western Sydney 13th March 2011 2:26pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jason says... John Mc, did I say that":)? It's true though. About 1 month into flowering makes the best fruit. I have a lot of research papers about Cherimoyas somewhere around here from back when I was right into them. Miranda, it can be debatable if disturbing soil is a good thing. I'm one person that doesn't believe in it, it breaks all the structures in the layers of soil that have taken a very long time to form and channel all the water and nutrients to the roots. Better to dig the very smallest hole with the least disturbance possible and fix the soil with mulch from above if you ask me. I only even dig holes *just* wide enough to jam the plant in and try my best to put all the layers of soil back in the order they came out. If you stick a seed straight in it's final position it'll be the best tree you ever grew, I think a lot of the reason why that happens is because the soil was never disturbed | About the Author Jason Portland 14th March 2011 4:53am #UserID: 637 Posts: 1217 View All Jason's Edible Fruit Trees |

KERT says... I don't think the adice given is accurate in this instance. If the soil is well structured and has "crumbs" it is important not to disturb it esp. when it is v.dry or wet. Miranda has clay soil of poor structure (West. Sydney) and the correct response is as follows - heap up the soil to encourage drainage , add plenty of organic matter, use gypsum but only if you have sodic clays (there is a simple home test to identify sodic clays) | About the Author sydney 14th March 2011 3:33pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... You can't be too careful when watering your Annons are concerned can you? This morning I found a seedling in a pot with collar rot, all the bark at ground level could be rubbed off easily all round the trunk. The growing tips have died off but the rest of the plant looks to be in excellent health for now. It's only a seedling but it's a good wake up call for all my grafted specimens up the the paddock. I ran around every single one of them and pulled the compost away from the trunk as much as I could with my fingers. They must be better drained being in the ground. I'll be reducing the watering to maybe once or twice a week from now on till it cools then maybe stopping alltogether, depending on the climate at the time. I was watering them every second day, they probably weren't drying out enough between waterings, It's been very hot here with no rain whatsoever.

It hasn't grown much but is still alive and healthy, I was surprised to see it was still there. I wonder what the progeny is from this variety (African Pride)? Has anyone got throwbacks of A Squamosa? or A Cherimola? I suppose they could be anything since the African pride is a hybrid between the two.

Peter says... I am a little suspicious - why ACAGA would create a new terminology? 'Self-pollinating' rings a bell in everyones ear, whereas free fruiting does not make sense. They would also have some percentages of fruit set, like there is for Paxton Prolific...just a sales strategy of left-over cultivars from a breeding program which did not make it to the commercial growers, maybe. The exeption seems to be Paxton Prolific, formerly only available as KJ Pink to commercial growers. The real good stuff is hopefully available to home growers as well (doubt it) - such as a pink skinned and pink fleshed hybrid of Annonas, announced as self-pollinating! | About the Author Peter36 Perth 13th May 2011 7:51pm #UserID: 5034 Posts: 213 View All Peter36's Edible Fruit Trees |

Hi fruitist, sure you know a lot of tricks about seed germination, but just in case you have not tried this one: You can also try to surface sterilise them in 10% Bleach solution for 10 or 15 minutes, then put them in a take away container filled with moderately moist fine vermiculite, close it with the lid and put the container inside near a window. Sterile conditions (almost) for many months, maintainance free.

Do you know other places selling marcotted or grafted rambutans. | About the Author 13th June 2011 9:49am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Peter says... Very interesting! Even for a person being in WA. Maybe the Illama seeds respond to smoke treatment (Species don't need to origin from fire-impact areas, even tropical species can respond to smoke treatment. Now they start to find the active molecules in smoke responsible for stimulation of germination and isolate them). I wish there would be dedicated collectors of plant species in WA as well...Are there any WAfruitists around? | About the Author Peter36 Perth 13th June 2011 1:05pm #UserID: 5034 Posts: 213 View All Peter36's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... My African Pride lost it's friend last winter (a pinks mammoth) Here is my little battler....has just been thru 11 days of around 40 oC and apart from a little bit of tip burning - has managed to hold onto all it's 13 fruit? It's still flowering and the fruit, it has pollinated on it's own (and without it's "friend") It's inundated with couch..but otherwise watered well enough. I was fully expecting it to die in this heatwave (and wasn't too bothered about that) It's been thru a lot here, in 5yrs! :D (less than 1.5m tall...lol!) This is also the custard apple (annona) that is growing in Margaret River that I saw (and it fruit fine)... Perhaps a bit tougher than we think?

Donnybrook is even more surprising grub!? It gets damn cold there? Have seen some lovely (and finicky) fruit trees growing around the Bunbury area too...Gelorup, Leshenault etc..

John Mc says... Nick, my African pride cv's were very whippy in their first year also. I waited till they went dormant then pruned them quite hard to get some strength into the main framework. I pruned off a lot of height then pruned all the lateral branches off within 8" of the main stem. Now in their third year they have a very strong backbone and laterals. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 4th February 2012 10:42pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... That reminds me of a I did a job down at Brooklyn a couple of years ago with a large Atemoya tree in the backyard. They claimed it to be a large red fruiting variety, I never gave it a second thought. Looks like I might have to go down and take a closer look. I just assumed that red atemoyas were as common as red A. squamosa, apparently not. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 25th February 2012 9:22pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

peter says... john mc yes red ones are rare, it would be well worthwhile for a trip back to broocklyn to check, may even be fruiting now. mike doesnt matter if its custard apple or cherimoya, still a good find. ddid you plant those four seeds pointy end up. not too long ago i germinated lots of cherimoya seeds that john mc sent me. (thanks again john.) i found that a good portion of them were decapitating themselves trying to pull their leaves out of a hole on the pointy end of the seed so i helped them along by carefully cutting open the seed and drawing the leaves out. on another note i have some of your snake beans just about ready for harvest. | About the Author peter 1000 adelaide 26th February 2012 8:22pm #UserID: 6592 Posts: 102 View All peter 1000's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... Thanks for the tip Peter and as I planted them yesterday I will dig them and position them properly.The photo came to me to identify the fruit as the last in a line who couldn'tput a name on it.The owners were surprised how it turned out and apparently the fruit was of exceptional quality.Iwould not be surprised if it was grown from an atemoya seed and threw more to the cherimoya parent and the red is just a mutation. I suppose it was the pale green snake beans rather the tigers that grew.They are a summer crop so keep 1 or 2 pods for spring. | About the Author Cairns 26th February 2012 8:38pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kam says... Hi What is in my fruits from my African Pride tree? All the fruits are of good size and look nice but when cut open the wonly white flesh is between the seeds and on inside of fruit just under the fruit. The rest of the fruit brown crust around the seeds. A friend of mine told me that the tree is lacking in trace element, Boron. I did not have this problem when the tree started fruiting. Last year less than a handful of them affected but this year all of them. | About the Author Kam Perth 1st August 2014 3:57pm #UserID: 10241 Posts: 29 View All Kam's Edible Fruit Trees |

I purchased this as an Annona but saw this one was alot different - had a Tag - Bingera Pride on it and is getting darker as it ripens - is it something else? thought would be of interest - looks dark bluish under natural light with greenish tinges between carpels :)

allybanana says... I in the absence of the MC I am stealing annona act. I suspect Bingera is a locality near Bundburg rather than variety. I have seen the fruits go black before as they ripen, I am not sure, it may be that the fruits were stored to cold and the black is from damaged cells in the skin and this cold sometimes also damages the ripening process. It may also be that the fruit was picked too green and so the skin gets old and dark before the flesh ripens. | About the Author allybanana EDEN, NSW 23rd May 2015 9:37pm #UserID: 4544 Posts: 372 View All allybanana's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... There could be two possibilities, firstly, it was picked far too early and has gone black like they do, only in the eating will tell, and the amount of mature seeds. Secondly, they may have found a "sport" branch coming off an African Pride tree with different fruit hanging on it and have decided it worth propagating, hence the name "Bingera Pride". My money is on the first suggestion. I have a variety called Late Gold, but it only has a bronze tinge when ripe. Let us know what it's like when ripe. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 24th May 2015 12:44pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... English is only partly derived from latin, most of English is saxonic. Latinate words tend to be heavy on vowels and end in ous. Words like sky, skirt, skate, indeed anything with 'ska' sonics are actually norse in origin and found there way into English owing the viking occupation of Britain which is sometimes referred to as the anglo-scandinavian empire. In fact if you have a long British lineage you are as likely as not to have viking blood somewhere along the line. I used to study with a guy who is the son of British lord (yes, for real) and his family are descended from the vikings that were given title in York. He had been partially disinherited by his father for having got a tattoo, so apparently his younger brother gets the bindle when the old boy kicks the bucket. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 31st May 2015 4:32pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

MIke T1 says... Here is a pinks mammoth I had last week.The cherimoya scales show more on some than others.Annona reticulata is the custard apple of the US and we use it for sugar apple and atemoya. If we get caught up in the stupidity of language and the naming of trees and fruit,it will be a never ending thread.

Markmelb says... The following was extracted from http://bijlmakers.com/agriculture/fruits-for-beginners/ Me -- Maybe what they say may be correct that these fruits taste as good as an Apple - known to have corrupted Adam as the forbidden fruit and both taste pretty darned good as fruits go :) Website Link Above -- Apples are among the most popular fruits in the world. They usually grow in cooler climates. The word "apple" is also used in the names of other fruits, such as pineapple and custardapple, but these are not real apples. A famous saying is "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", because apples and many other fruits are good for your health. Apples play an important part in some fairytales, for example the poisoned apple that was given to Snow White. And the "forbidden fruit" in the garden of Eden was perhaps also an apple. PS - Asimili - can you put up on your Edibles page photos of plants you grow just to show you actually grow stuff too not just comment??? | About the Author Markmelb MT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 1st June 2015 6:18pm #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |
