Kath's WISH LIST

Passionfruit - Select Black

Why Kath wants it: -

It is hard to go past a black passionfruit in terms of flavour and fullness of fruit.  I need to construct a trellis for the vine though.  I do have seedling black passionfruit growing wild in the bush but I have not seen them fruit - this may be because they don't get enough sun. 







Kakadu Plum

Why Kath wants it: -

I would like to try another one of these.  So far I have lost two, this was not the trees fault.







Papaya - Southern Red

Why Kath wants it: - I want to try another pawpaw but, but need a protected north facing spot for one.





Indian Almond Tree

Why Kath wants it: - Gorgeous tree, edible almond like kernal.





Star Anise

Why Kath wants it: - I love spices





Aniseed Myrtle

Finger Lime - Ricks Red (Grafted) 10/10

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 2940 days 18hrs

Comments: - The red browed finches nest in it dense sikey foliage every year. It is the native food source of the citrus butterflies, including the Dainty Swallowtail.

Update: 2940 days 18hrs

Comments: -

Growing beautifully, I have my first crop of kumquats this year and I can't wait for the sensational sweet and lively sour little fruits - yummy.  A gorgeous tree which is highly ornamental - the main problem I have is that it looks so beautiful in fruit I am reluctant to strip the tree of its bright orange fruit.

Miracle Fruit (Seedling)

Plum - Mult Grafted (Grafted)

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 2940 days 18hrs

Comments: -

Multi grafted plum, affectionatley called my Muti PLum for it mutant nature, rootstock Myrobolan, grafted with mariposa, regrafted with gulf gold and gulf ruby. Problamatic but interesting. Lesson in importance of thinning the fruit. Lost one of the grafts, not to worry grafted some of the broken bits onto new rootstock shoots - way to low, going to create new problem next year when the fruit hang on the ground.

The Chill Factor - end Aug/Sept 2010 - all the plums are flowering together, by early Sept. the Gulf Gold has set lots of fruit - but is still spot flowering.  The mariposa part of the tree is also flowering, what felt like a warm winter because the minimums were high was cooler because the maximums were lower - so the chill factor was higher!

I used mesh fruit fly exclusion bags on a couple of branches of the plums, the birds have been pecking at them today - so I picked the gulf ruby's.

Sapodilla - Sawo Manila (Grafted)

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 3658 days 2hrs

Comments: -

I finally planted my Sawo Manilla in June 2010, I hope it is not too much of a temperature shock going from the poly house to the top of my hill.  It is right up the top of the orchard, not too bad a spot, planted into a big mound as the soil is fairly heavy, will need to keep the lantana hedge at bay.

2014 - slow - in fact it not grown much but always look OK. First flowers this year.

Malabar Chestnut (Seedling) 10/10

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 3658 days 2hrs

Comments: - I love this tree, related to the boabs it has a fat bum and gorgeous scented flowers that open at night.. The peeled raw seeds are a little like a cross between green peas and raw cashews, they are a little fiddly to get into but make a great snack.

Dwarf Peach (Grafted) 10/10

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 3658 days 2hrs

Comments: -

Gorgeous blossom show in the spring. This alone makes this one of my favourite trees in my orchard. Fruits ripen later in the season in the subtropics,susceptible to fruit fly but it is easy to net as it is only a small tree.

I planted a second seedling in 2012 which has deep pink flowers, I bought it in the spring when it was out in blossom.

2013 I lost all the fruit was knocked off in a hail storm

Fruit bats are a greater problem than birds. You can't stop them with bird netting over the tree.

Pomegranate - Rosavaya (Cutting)

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 4407 days 8hrs

Comments: -

A lovely plant that is growing really well with little -or rather no attention.

Beautiful red leaf flush of new growth in the spring, lights up the bottom of the orchard.

On fire in the afternoon sunset as the glowing tail end of the day lights up the new growth.  Gorgeous.

Tough spot in the orchard - lives in the shaddow of the weed wall! - But on the bright side at least the wattle shading it has gone.

Weeping foliage & gorgeous flowers make this a lovely plant to have in the orchard.

All flower dropped 2010, 2011, tried hand pollinating - crossing with a Wonderful.

Picked my first fruit February 2012 & made some delicious and beautifully colourde pomegranate dressing.

Cork Oak (Seedling)

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 4440 days 8hrs

Comments: -

The Cork Oak - Quercus suber is not exactly edible but it a very useful plant for keeping wine in the bottle and it is used for flooring, platform shoes and other essential products.  In fact buying wine with a cork supports an ancient traditional industry of cork growing in Europe and north Africa.  I collected my  acorns in mid June 2010 from the impressive tree in Tenterfield, northern NSW which was planted in 1861 after being transported to Australia in a jam tin.  I planted the acorns straight away point down in forestry tubes, in July I noticed roots poking out the bottom of the tubes and by August the seedling oaks are all popping up.  The cork oak is an evergreen spreading tree with wiggly squiggly branches and gorgeous thick corky bark.  Now I just have to wait 150 years for my acorns to grow into impressive specimens, I can only hope someone in the future will get to enjoy these trees.

Persimmon - Astringent (Grafted)

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 4440 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Essential to feed, water and mulch as it breaks bud in the spring. This year 2008, my trees has grown two foot in a spurt. It is a beautiful tree. April 2010, unfortunatly I just dropped a tree onto my persimmon - whoops, serves me right for not cutting the wattle down when it was tiny, by the time I decide to fix the problem, it is 6-7 m high and smothered in vine.  The persimmon stood up pretty well considering, it has been pruned on one side as a result so is a little lopsided for the moment, at least it will get more sunshine.  Now I just have to keep the vine covered lantana hedge at bay.

This tree is finally getting a go on, it has done nothing for the past 2 years, and has a flush of new growth and looks fabulous at last. Slow to establish and much less vigorous than a seedling. 

The first crop in 2011 was delicious and the birds ignored the fruits.

Home to the Wild May fruit fly trap. Attracts lots of honey bees and native sugarbag bees.  Beautiful pink spring blossom.  Fruits prolifically - I need to thin the fruit.  Although this will all be enjoyed by the stunning king parrots.  2010 I an trying mesh bags to protect the fruit from fruit fly and the birds.  Meanwhile the gorgeous King Parrots eat all the unbagged fruit - very green.

So far the mesh bags are working well, although the birds have been pecking at the plums, the nectarines are close to picking.

November 17th - I have just picked the best nectarine I have ever grown.

The white Shahtoot taste like sweet peas, ideally they need a slight touch of sub-acid to bring out more flavour, do these red's taste the same as the whites?

Wampee - Guy Sam

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 4946 days 1hrs

Comments: -

My Guy Sam has a tough spot - right up the top if my orchard - hot western position, under the shaddow of the top weed wall of ever encroaching pesky lantana.  This level of the orchard is on the same level of our gravity feeding dam tank - so it will never get a drink - (not than anything else does either).  It is also a difficult level to get to as there is no wheelbarrow track up to it.  It is an effort to get a hay bale up there so this row is very neglected and need to be tough.  Not a very happy tree - not thriving, but there is hope for it as it has not died.

Papayuelo

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 4440 days 8hrs

Comments: -

The first tree to fall over in the January 08 rains. A female, this turned out to be a good thing as I had two other female trees. I replaced it with a male tree and now have lots of fruit.

Ironically more than 18 months on this tree has not actually died, it is thriving in a non dying kind of a way in my well drained, slowly acumulating compost heap. 

And in 2010 my undead tree is fruiting - it is still in the compost heap and has to go, it is almost time for it to die again.  February 2011 I finally chopped it down, before it roots dug up the compost bins.

Comments: -

Gorgeous tree, bush food. Great autumn leaf colour.

Planted by the dam, needs weeding around.  The horrible foreign vines are swamping it.


My poor kakadu plum lived as a very tortured tree and struggled on, it was neglected, strangled, whipper snipped, stomped on and somehow it struggled on, until finally the cows snapped it off at ground level. 

I will have to try again.
