BJ says... Great soil builder, which means it drops tonnes of material and clogging drains is child's play for inga. Just chopped one down that was too close to neighbors house and clogged gutters and had seedlings up there. If it's 10m away you should be fine though. Panama berry makes a great fruiting shade tree, but doesn't fix nitrogen or provide much biomass. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 15th April 2014 10:53pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... It's going to be very difficult to find something that won't drop oodles of organic material. No guesses you want a fruit tree? Maybe evergreen to minimise gutter glogging? Gees, a tough one. Gutter guard, perhaps? That'll give you a much larger choice. Back to the Ice Cream Bean? The Japanese Raisin tree (Hovenia Dulcis) is a beaut looking ornamental tree,fairly fast growing but deciduous. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 16th April 2014 12:59pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
sternus1 says... I have hedgehog gutter brush, flushing downpipes with fine mesh stainless leafguards. Organic matter going into the tank isn't the problem, its little bits of organic matter decomposing in pools in the gutters which might not get to evaporate before the next rainfall that is the problem. Those full-faced gutter guards are repulsive. Completely unhygienic. They create a perfect cultivation environment for bacteria, mosquitoes, are death traps for frogs, and should be banned.The reason is that UV light kills germs, and guards that totally cover the gutter don't let any light in. Many of the newer types of filters have UV treatment component for this reason. Back to the drawing board I guess. I might have to deign to plant a tree that doesn't fruit. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 16th April 2014 1:14pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
BJ says... If given decent conditions, Star Apples are among the quickest growing trees. They have outrageously fast growing deep roots, so deep watering to get these established at the right time of year can result in a very quick growing tree. Downside is that they are massive, so I wouldnt want one too close to my house unless I lived in very sandy soil. I do like the dappled shade of panama berry, but once the lorrikeets discover the tree, you dont get many fruits... | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 16th April 2014 2:05pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Nat there isn't a huge difference between them, as Mike says it's mostly an issue of abundance. As far as Inga's go, the one daleys sells is good. It's also a fully fledged seedling, and you don't have to wait those extra years for fruit. Keep in mind that Ingas probably wouldn't rank in anybody's top tier of tropical fruit; they're novel, but in the end they're little puffy clouds of sugar. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 18th April 2014 4:08pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |
