Unhappy apricot - My newcastle apricot has been looking unhappy all summer and I can't figure out why. The leaves are green and I couldn't see any suspicious blemishes, but they are all rolled up. It is in grey sandy soil on a bit of a slope, it is in part shade with a ..2226 days 6hrs

Seems to be doing well, planted in mid winter at about 1m high and flowering already 1.5 months later. The branches droop a lot so I will keep it staked until it has a few good strong branches to hold rest of the plant up.

Pandanus - Edible (Seedling) 7/10

Kath5's Edible Fruits
Update: 2798 days 7hrs

Comments: - Lovely fragrant plant but always struggled in Perth winters until it rotted one year. It might have done better if I'd kept it inside in winter and been more careful not to overwater.

Hi, it died so I don't have any, but I originally bought it from Canning Vale Sunday market, so you might be able to get one there.
