Awal7505's WISH LIST

banana - Java blue ^10/10

Why Awal7505 wants it: -

Would love to try any banana varieties but are so hard to find.

Frangipani -Pink

Carambola - Kary Seedling ^7/10

Comments: -

Experienced a lot of lush new growth over Summer/Autumn,but has now defoliated over Winter and hoping it will come back good.

Plant never regained leaves and died.

Pollination: No

Ambarella ^8/10

Comments: -

Plant arrived full of foliage and in good condition.However,due to the cooler weather still persisting in SA,the plant slowly lost all its leaves and we thought it had died.When the warmer weather started,the plant began to grow back with vigour.It was then we planted it in the ground facing a northerly direction.Kept well watered over Summer,Autumn and the plant thrived and gained a lot of new growth.Now into Winter,once more it has lost all its leaves and here's hoping it will spring back to life for the new season.

In the Spring/Summer,plant regained all its leaves and produced new growth,enough to use in Thai food.Very happy.
