tecko says... During early spring, I empptied a bag of sheep manure around the tree. Also, occasionally when I gutted any market bought fish, I would pour the blood filled water into the ground where the tree is standing. (Suppose there's some nutrients in there as well.)In hot summer months, I gave it lots of water. | About the Author tecko1 perth 30th March 2011 11:58am #UserID: 2184 Posts: 63 View All tecko1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... tecko it looks like you'll be getting more fruit each season now.Marcots are the best way and you could marcot your ones now.They like soil a bit acid and handle dry conditions well.My favourite type is biew keow.They get as big as mangoes and that bottlebrush/paperbark in the neighbours yard could volunteer some mulch. | About the Author Cairns 29th March 2012 7:53pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike says... David, I'm off to Rusty's now and will report anything out of the ordinary.There is a chill in the air this morning (22c) so the season is changing.Soon as it goes below 20c everyone dresses up like shackleton.The next hour will be the closest I get to frolicking through a bounty of giant fruit. | About the Author Cairns 30th March 2012 7:06am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Good luck Mike, Mary i used to see a gentleman in Sunnybank as part of my job, he had a Keitt mango tree in his back yard without as lie the mangoes were football size, he said that the tree came from a nursery up Rockhampton way many years ago when he was stationed there, he was in the banking trade now long since retired. He said the trick to getting really big mangoes is to feed them lots of water right from when they formed, so as not to split the skin with sudden bursts of water, a constant trickle you might say .Anyway i happened to be at his place at the right time one year ,the tree itself would have been no more than 3mtres high, but maybee 4mtres wide, and covered with at least twenty football sized fruit, i dont know how the tree didnt split in half.When i think back id almost think this tree was a mutant of Keitt somehow. | About the Author David Brisbane 30th March 2012 7:24am #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

David says... Mary i know what your thinking this sounds to unbeleiveable but its true, some of the fruit used to split beacause of the size, and didnt taste all that great either i suspect that the amount of water pumped into the fruit somehow diluted the flavour All is well with the world anyway hope your world is good this morning Mary, all for now off to work, bye. | About the Author David Brisbane 30th March 2012 8:13am #UserID: 1961 Posts: 670 View All David's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Good work tecko! Mine hasn't done anything in it's 4 or 5yrs yet...maybe soon. I notice that the huge longon tree in town has only carried fruit on it's north side... It did flower all over so I am guessing the strong prevailing winds may have messed up pollination on the other sides.... might be something to keep in mind when planting longons perhaps... | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth 31st March 2012 1:07pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

Bangkok says... Sure it has, if you prepare it well. Start cutting the rootball piece by piece, every month or other month you cut it a bit further. When it's time to move the rootball should be cut all around so you can lift it out. If you want to do it straight away you can cut/prune the tree a lot and move it...water it much and cover it for a while...It's just a matter of not letting it dry out and there are many ways to achieve that. | About the Author Bangkok Thailand 12th December 2016 11:40pm #UserID: 11594 Posts: 370 View All Bangkok's Edible Fruit Trees |
