 CommentsKath says... [486 days 7hrs ago]Hi CJ, We are only a few kms north of you & have managed to grow a lot through trial (& a fair bit of error!) Good luck-it'll be worth the hard work now to pick your own produce, KathKath says... [486 days 7hrs ago] also, we have the Tropic Snow Peach on your wish list-put it in last winter, espaliered it & now loaded with fruit-obviously likes the area so go for it!!!* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report CommentsBJ says... [543 days 6hrs ago]CJ, does your quince loose all its leaves in the warm Perth winters? If so - when does it tend to drop its leaves?CJ says... [542 days 8hrs ago] Hi BJ, it has been very, very reluctant. Last weekend I gave it a good prune and removed the last of the leaves, which had changed colour but not quite dropped off. The tree is planted against a north-facing, cream-coloured fence, so that probably doesn't help!* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
Pitaya - Red Dragon Fruit (Cutting) CJ's Edible FruitsUpdate: 542 days 8hrs Comments: - Just got started on this one (red with white flesh) with a cutting from a friend. Currently its about 30cm tall. Dotted with rooting power and planted in potting mix. Will wait and see! Also picked up a red flesh pitaya recently from Tass1. Now I need to find a spot for them! 12/06/10 - and another cutting from Tass1, this time yellow skin white flesh. Treated same as above. My other two have had lots of new growth over summer but seem to be slowing a bit now in winter.

Nectarine - Fairlane (Grafted) CJ's Edible FruitsUpdate: 891 days 8hrs Comments: - Not sure how this will go as it might not get enough chill.

Gift from a friend. Grown from seed so not sure what variety it is - hopefully self-fertile! It has gone through a bit of a rough spot recently, very neglected while I was on holiday, but seems to be making a slow recovery.
