Linton says... Found this site which shows how to make wild staghorn lemonade. Sounds great and very simple to prepare! http://countrysidenetwork.com/daily/gardening/fruit-vegetable-garden/staghorn-sumac-the-wild-lemonade-berry/ | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 8th August 2016 8:12pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |
Joel15 says... Staghorn sumac, Rhus typhina is not uncommon in Australia, it can be found at nurseries. I have R. glabra which is very similar but supposed to be somewhat superior as a spice or flavouring, but it is not at flowering age yet. Traditionally it's R. coriaria that is used for the spice but you would have to import fresh seed and grow it yourself. | About the Author Joel15 PARKSIDE,5063,SA 8th August 2016 10:03pm #UserID: 14299 Posts: 66 View All Joel15's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Hi Randy.....Welcome Back! Hope you had a good trip. Actually I just got some large fruiting Haskaps sent from Canada - Borealis and Honeybee - some of them have germinated already! Would be interested to know if you saw any good Haskap cultivars while you were there or know of other good varieties that might be available as they are farmed commercially in Canada. Thanks. | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 18th October 2016 2:26pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Coming back to the Haskaps, I'm also looking for cultivars like Indigo Gem and Cinderella (a more compact bush) which are commercially farmed in North America. I read that it's recommended to plant different varieties of Haskaps together for best results. Did you see any Haskap/Honeyberries at all while you were in Canada? Or maybe it was the wrong season.

Joel15 says... I think we got Haskap seeds from the same person Linton! The plants I grew from them eventually succumbed to wilt though :( I got some more recently though but am stratifying them as I'm going overseas soon. I'm happy to know someone else is growing them! On that note true Sumac appears to be quite susceptible to wilt as well.. | About the Author Joel15 PARKSIDE,5063,SA 21st October 2016 11:49am #UserID: 14299 Posts: 66 View All Joel15's Edible Fruit Trees |
Tabs says... Linton, haskaps do not grow true to type so any seeds will be genetically different from the parent. Haskaps of Oz have been trialing them for 3 years down in Tasmania. They can now tell which ones are sweet and which are tart. They are now trying to determine which ones are more tolerant of warmer climates but Denise says that you can grow them wherever you grow blueberries. I assume those more suited for colder regions but who can tell what genetic variation will turn up with the seeds. Go to www.haskapsofoz.com.au and ask for the latest newsletter. | About the Author Tabs PEAKHURST,2210,NSW 28th May 2019 1:41am #UserID: 1115 Posts: 19 View All Tabs's Edible Fruit Trees |
