Kumquat - Meiwa (Grafted) Firefly's Edible FruitsUpdate: 888 days 2hrs Comments: - I like how well the fruit keeps on this tree. I could have harvested all the fruit at once in June. Instead, I alternate between this and my other kumquat and munch on a fruit every other day.

Nectarine - Goldmine (Grafted)Firefly's Edible FruitsUpdate: 927 days 19hrs Comments: - Planted this white fleshed variety before I realised I much prefer the taste of yellow nectarines. I keep it because it's one of the few mature(ish) trees I have that gives lots of fruit. Fruiting Months January and December Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Full Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: Fruit flies love it. Tried using wax paper exclusion bags during the 08/09 season. Either the bags fell off or I couldn't close them properly so flies still got in. Plan on using a flyscreen tent for 09/10 season.
