Kath says... Anybody south of the river in Perth interested in swapping? I have Cavendish bananas, red globe grapes, rosemary, pepino,mints, & a few others & would love to swap for frangipanis, preferably in pots, but if not, some cuttings. Am after any colours but especially yellow , orange & apricot-I know this is a fruit forum but thought maybe someone may be interested, thanks

Brad says... To the more experienced people here, how risky is it importing material from other gardens into your own? Not knowing what nurseries / suppliers do, I've never been sure what you should / shouldn't do. My ornamentals aren't on it, but I'm happy to share (cuttings and seed) things that are on my-edibles Brad | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 20th January 2010 12:49pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kath says... Like Julie, I have been swapping plants for over 25 years & no problems & my Mum did it for over 60 years. I have plants & offsprings of plants from friends who are long gone & it's nice to have plants with a story. That's one of the things about gardeners-they share plants, seeds & cuttings because it's a nice thing to do. If you only buy from accredited nurseries you miss out on plants from friends, family,school & church & garden club fetes, the markets you come across on holidays etc.& often are limited to mass produced varieties. (and not all nurseries are accredited so you'd really have to do your homework) Have heard that gardening personalities on T.V. & radio will advise not to do this but they seem to only plug two or three nurseries that they are affiliated with (& absolutely bag Bunnings which is quite funny as they often use the same supplier as the nurseries they plug) & I'd say they would have a better buying position than Joe Average. The nurseries they plug wouldn't be to happy to hear them say there are lots of good plants available in the Quokka (read Trading Post if you're an Eastern Stater) for $5 when they are selling them for $20+ Anyway, is a personal choice but I would've swapped & given away $1000s of dollars (at retail prices) over the years with only the odd & easily squished snail come in. For me the benefits both in $$ & enjoyment far outway any risk but am sure there are others who disagree. | About the Author KathK Karnup W.A. 20th January 2010 7:21pm #UserID: 1744 Posts: 187 View All KathK's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brad says... I'd be very interested in an M27 polinator for my Pinkabelle. Not surprised to see the majority here are plant / material swappers. I give away and take as much as I can. Might explain the weed I've got that sounds like what Amanda is talking about ;) But I am curious if people who've worked in nurseries / similar have a different perspective. Other that wipe out pots being reused (I use vinegar), I don't know of any required hygeine. I've got fig cuttings on the go (see my edibles). Family and friends have first dibs and I'm not sure how many are left, but let me know if you want one (eMail: my first name _at_ anize _dot_ org) | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 21st January 2010 1:32pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... amanda, the weed you describe sounds like oxalis - there are many forms, including a creeping one. It's a b****r to get rid of! Brad, when I managed a small tree nursery years ago, all used pots were washed in a chlorine solution. But it was voluntary - there don't seem to be many checks on nursery hygeine. | About the Author Roleystone WA 21st January 2010 10:16pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brad says... those frangipanis come in really bold colours now. enjoy. the weed i was actually talking about is this one, it gets quit large and carpety if you don't pull it out early, this one popped up in a pot, but its a pain in garden beds in spring. Damo - any chance we can do something for apples?

Charles cant spell says... Brad and Kath you weeds are different, Kaths looks very much like Purslane. A weed but highly nutricious and better than most vegies we grow. I am growing a specific large variety for eating but it not very hardy hence I am harvesting my weed and even cultivating it for use in my "garden" salads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portulaca_oleracea Not sure what Brad has though. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth - Innaloo 28th January 2010 11:09pm #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Julie says... Kath, that is definitely purslane. Italians call it 'never die', which gives you an idea how persistent it is! It is easy to pull out, but comes back each summer anyway. I'm surprised the chooks don't like it, as it is quite nutritious (high in Omega 3), as Charles said. I add it to salads sometimes. Last year I picked off a whole lot of leaves and froze them - these were added to soups in winter. I can't remember the name of the other weed. | About the Author r 29th January 2010 7:36pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Speedy says... Brad, the weed you have ( it has white milky sap) is a Euphorbia sp. a very common 'Nursery weed'. Purslane.... I grow it for food, though I grow a a form of it with larger more succulent leaves. It's naturalised around my vege patch now and just lives off the moisture at the edges of the vege beds. It's tough yet when in a good soil, is one of my favorite veges. in salads or cooked with some other wild greens. I let the wild variety grow too. when they're big and full of seed I cut them off and give to the chooks. It's the seeds that are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids and when chooks eat it (they eat the fruits that contain the seeds) the omega-3 FA's are then transfered into their eggs. If you eat the chickens you'll also gain the benefits from their meat and fat. a much more sustainable option than pillaging the oceans so you can take a capsule of fish oil. I tend to eat lots of 'weeds'. Nopales (Prickly pear cactus paddles) is also a favorite food here. It's great, you dont have to look after it and it's free food, with some great health benefits.

Charles cant spell says... Yes pls, I will have Heritage (i think)Raspberries and Red Gauntlet Strawb babies soon if you want to swap. I just pruned my Kaffir lime hard as I have just Espaliered the back fence, but once I get some more growth you can use the wood to try your graft. But i think you need to wait for late winter early spring for best chance of graft taking anyway. | About the Author Charlesstillcantspell1 Perth Innaloo 5th February 2010 10:52am #UserID: 2742 Posts: 411 View All Charlesstillcantspell1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brad says... beginners luck julie - the only strawberry i've grown. I'm told the very small alpine strawberries taste amazing, but the japanese breed the best combination of size and taste. I love the hokowase - and yep you can pick them a little light on colour and they're still yum. I get some a good size, but the majority are a little smaller than supermarket size. They also put out a lot of runners if you like propagating. Mine are in pots and I'm getting heaps, most of which I'll end up cutting off this year. Charles - I put 3 pots out to grow on runners. I started with just one and within one summer propagated 20 plants! Any other takers? I'm not keen on red gauntlet - I think the only other variety I'd try is the Cambridge one as I understand it can fruit for a longer season, even if it doesn't taste as good as the Hokowase. | About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 7th February 2010 11:58pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... If anyone is interested in grafting fruit trees let me know and I'll let you know when I am pruning mine. (apples, fig, almond, blood plums, nectarines, peaches, apricots...). There is nothing exotic but I'd rather see the pruning grow into something rather than become compost. And it will probably be awhile before I prune; but if anyone is interested I can let you know. I've never grafted anything before, but if anyone has heritage apples I'd love to turn one of mine into a splitzer.

Brendan says... Hi juanita, if you wet the ground around the sucker to be removed, certainly makes it easier. I just use a long handled post hole shovel. Mine are growing in sandy loam too :-) Main thing is to make sure the sucker is seperated from the mother plant. Then just dig around the sucker and lift it out. (with the shovel). | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 28th January 2012 9:54am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Hey Phil, This is it's third season. It did flower in it's first and second season, but late. I have also changed the fert regime by restricting the chicken manure (nitrogen)and adding mower clippings (not necessarily lawn)for mulch, and soluable Mono potassium phosphate (MKP)late winter/early spring to promote flowering. I'll add some chicken manure after (hopefully) fruit set and see how we go. Other Annonas like various Cherimoyas are responding in the same way. Here's a pic of a "White" Cherimoya in early flower, well, early for here.

It has fruited also but the possums gets them first, I think; they always disappear before I pick them. No frost in my part of Sydney; I'm near the CBD.

MaryT says... Good idea to put it in a pot if you don't want it to 'walk'. I had it in a pot but forgot the holes and it escaped. So far (12 years) I have managed to keep it contained by snapping off shoots and growing other things in its path. I'm in the inner city so nowhere for it to go before hitting concrete or bitumen anyway. This black bamboo is very expensive if you have to buy it at a nursery; it grows very tall and extremely useful if you want to harvest them for other uses. The picture shows one holding up my fig tree that grew from a rooted cutting. Just cut them and dry in the shade末they're as strong as iron (I dry them under the eaves of the house.) P.S. A friend uses them to make fighting sticks for his kungfu students; he said they're light but strong and less likely for the kiddies to hurt themselves. :)

MaryT says... Not sure if it would run under the concrete; depending how deep the concrete is. The other thing is it's VERY TALL ; I'm no good with measurements but it's easily ten feet tall (one storey high) or more so you might want to consider the shade that it might throw. Mine are grown under a gigantic jacaranda tree (the canopy was bigger than my house until the neighbour chopped off most of it on their side) so to some extent they limit each other. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 31st October 2012 8:16am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Here's a pic of the bamboo under the jacaranda; it does have the disadvantage of blocking the sight of my neighbour's two storey townhouse and their lovely air conditioner. The other pic shows a corner of a small covered area末I copied the dragon from a piece of jade at an art exhibition and made my handyman cut the motif (he says he swells with pride every time he looks at it and brings people to see his "artwork" LOL)

I am a new gardener so I don't have too many plants to swap with, I m happy to pay for it or you are welcome to come to my garden and take cuttings from my lime, lemon, figs, blueberries or raspberries plants. I also have a pot of Indian guava and a couple of fruiting strawberries pots that I m happy to part with for some cutting.

Linton says... Betel Plants Dear Birdy booo, the Betel Leaf is a tropical vine so what happens in Melbourne is it dies back to the ground in winter and regrows in summer. Mine is just starting to sprout new leaves now and should be big enough for cuttings in about 1 more month. Please ask again in December and I should be able to give you some cuttings then. | About the Author Linton Springvale, Vic 10th November 2012 9:40am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... Hi veevee; those shoots were only good for eating:) I should have said, but I'm glad there are new shoots; they'll take off from here. Both limes are doing well, the little one has lots of new growth and the bigger one is healthy, though I think it's spent its energy on flowering. No signs of fruit but you never know. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 25th November 2012 11:58pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |
