davewastech starts with ... How often do you guys replant pepinos? I find the productivity and quality declines after about 2 years, although a clump just keeps expanding outwards unless you limit it. I read that productivity declines in the second year. ( http://brisbanelocalfood.ning.com/profiles/blogs/pepino ) Maybe this depends on the climate? I'm in Sydney. | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 31st May 2016 11:03pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |
Waterfall says... I'm in Sydney and have found this too although some hard pruning does seem to help them produce again. Pepino is so easy to propagate from cutting though, I am yet to have one fail and the new plants always produce lots of large size fruits so its best to just keep planting new ones. | About the Author Waterfall WATERFALL,2233,NSW 1st June 2016 7:49pm #UserID: 10026 Posts: 422 View All Waterfall's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Yeah, for the last year or two I've just been propagating new ones to plant in a different spot, then digging out the old one and planting a vege crop in its place. Next step is to rotate the pepino back to where it was in the first place. I'm not sure that this is a good strategy, but just leaving it in one spot doesn't seem to work well. | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 6th June 2016 12:26pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |
