Waterfall says... You are further up the coast than I but I have lost 7 seedlings of the 9 I had growing this year, the only survivors are in pots in my greenhouse. From what I can tell its cold wet feet which has caused root rot. If I was doing it again I'd keep the water away from them with some plastic and only give them water if the soil was starting to dry out, test by sticking a finger into the soil first.

sternus1 says... Yep, they like soil that is only slightly damp. Some are more tropical than others. The Broad leaf is the most tropical I have.	About the Author sternus1 Australia 31st July 2015 7:54pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees
