This is so slow at growing, but I think heaps of cow manure, a slightly shady and protected spot, and not too heavy wtareing, and well I think this tree will make it in Warenrs Bay. I have yet to see it fruit after 3 years of very slow growth. Now almost 1m high (from a 30cm sapling)

A GREAT grower for Warners Bay, but very brittle tree, with shallow roots. The two eyar old small tree has yet to produce fruit, so here is hoping

Heya Paul, I noticed the other day that the Fruit Barn at Jesmond has some fruit for sale if you wanted to try em. Or mine is fruit at the moment if you'd like to try some from my bush? I gave heaps away but I have a few left if you want? I had mine in the ground but it didn't like it so I moved it to a pot and it loves it - but mine is a grafted one so might behave differently?

Davidsonia jerseyana - Davidson Plum NSW

Comments: -

These came as seedlings, and have not prospered very well in full sun. I think I planted them in the wrong spot, and about a 1/3rd have died. I am persisting with them in Warenrs Bay, as they are such a pretty tree.... but slow growing!

Pollination: No

Comments

Heya Paul, I have one of these too! I had mine in the sun and it hated it. I moved it to a shady spot and it is much much happier. :O) Kathy

Tamarind

Comments: -

The tamarind are VERY sensitive to even a couple of days without water. So in Warners Bay over Summer, with a few hot days, they just lost their leaves. I did plant one in full sun, and the otehr in partial shade... they reveive well with regular watering, but eventually they died.

Pollination: No

Loquat - Nagasakiwase

Comments: -

The pawpaw were plantes in a little shade, with protecting tall grass for water control on a slope, and they are growing! Pawpaw in Warners bay! who would have thought?

Pollination: No

Dwarf Mulberry - Black

Comments: -

The mulberry must be the best tree ever for Warners Bay. It doesn't mind drought too much, and comes back vigourously with rain. It loves Newcastle!

Pollination: No

Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)

Comments: -

The feijoa just do not grow that well in Warners Bay... I have to come back to you on this, as they are survingin, just not growing that well. I think they need a lot more water than is available in Warners Bay through rain

Pollination: No

Fig White Adriatic

Comments: -

Pepino just love Warners Bay!!! They just grow, and are delicious! But their are some bugs that love them too. Go Pepino!

Pollination: No

Avocado - Fuerte (B)

Comments: -

2/3rds of the trees died, but three are just going beautifully. I hear avaocado is a fickle tree, so a wait and see on these. May be a goer for the hills of Warners Bay

Pollination: No

Pawpaw - Southern Red

Comments: -

This just is not growing. I have put heaps of cow manure around it. It stays green, but given a few dry weeks, it loses it's leaves, and doesn't want to grow at all. To be afir I may have planted it in the wrong spot. Not a goer for Warners Bay I'm afraid

Pollination: No

Pepino - Kendall Gold

Comments: -

The lychee seems to be taking off... it is not sensitive to the requirements of dry spells that we had over summer. It took off really in late summer and august, where we did get more rain. Seems it may be a goer for Warners Bay near Newcastle

Pollination: No

Tree Fern

Comments: -

All of these died as they needed too much water, and the Summer in Warners Bay was particualrly dry last year (2008-2009)
