About My Edible Backyard

Why Beilola Love's Edible Plants

I love gardening regardless of whether a plant produces edibles or not... although there is something particularly magical about growing something that you can eat.

I have a small tropical backyard (mostly Foxtail palms, Heliconias & Gingers etc), but I'm quite successful at growing edibles in large pots - for example I have Cacao trees (which have produced pods), Yuzu, Gold Tamarillo, Davidson Plum, Dwarf Mullberry, Black Pepper (which has never fruited in the 5 years I've had it - even though it's quite a healthy and prolific grower). I also grow Vanilla which is very prolific - I hand polinate, harvest and process my own beans each year.

Question: I live in Brisbane - have great success with many other tropical/sub tropical plants but this one has never flowered/fruited even though it grows quite prolifically! I'm in the process of repotting it and will post pictures in the coming days when it's done. I'm also moving it to a slightly brighter position as I'm wondering if it's not getting enough light perhaps? Has anyone else encountered this problem??
