Soursop

Ellen's Tips -

Supplier - Daleys

Was a seedling. Got it a couple of months ago .

It had grown almost double in size . But all the leaves is starting to get rusty and falling off now. Just hopes I will start to kicking again as we go back to Spring. Very slow growing plant, perhaps due to being put in pot it is the way it is .

Mango - Bowen

Ellen's Tips -

Supplier- Daleys

Seedling, got it last summer 08

I planted it in a pot, a very small pot, but throughout the summer it loves heat and sunlight so much that it had grown almost 3x it's original size, which the stalk was unable to support the top, I had to tied it to my clothes line for support, as the wind kept knocking it off .

Surprisingly those ants loves nesting under the soil in the pot of this plant.

I'll repot it later in the coming Spring

Blueberry - Misty

Supplier - Bonnirigg Garden Center ( which Daleys is one of its supplier) heheheh small world after all .

Got it last summer 08

It was so small, no fruits at all .

But now it is buddings to flowerings .

So easy maintenance for these blueberries, every 2 months I 'd just give it a scoop or 2 of the slow release fertiliser

Star Apple

Ellen's Tips -

I got this through Ebay, that was before I discovered Daleys hehehe .

Since this will grow to be a very big tree, I'll try to only plant it in a big pot as I am running out of ground space for it in my tiny garden .

Potting soil . I used the cheapest one at Bunnings . I'd mixed 2/3 of the potting soil and 1/3 of the chicken compost and 2 scoop of the slow release fertiliser . And every 3-4 months I'd just spread.
