About My Edible Backyard


Why Carla Love's Edible Plants

Soil type- sandy,        Annual rainfall - 36inches,      Aspect of property - South facing.


Our Orchard does it tough. Most of the plantings were done in 1997.  During this  time our orchard has been through 10yrs of drought, 4x Hail storms, Possum attacks and just recently a tornado (Dec2008). To this time we have lost only 15% of our 100 fruit trees. We mulch mulch mulch. Our soil type is sandy to light loam. Great for drainage but does dry out. A tip.. when we dug the holes and they were deep.   We placed thick cardboard in the bottom of the holes. This acts like a underground reservoir. I would only recommend sandy soils for this tip. Also we have long western sunsets and we do get medium to heavy frosts.    I collected local Wattle seed, which are not the suckering type and planted 4 Wattle  seedlings around each frost sensitive fruit tree (to protect from frosts and western sun).  The Wattles have now become timber and mulch for the very fruit trees they have been protecting for all these years. Now, I only plant tough trees as the above can become  time consuming. Well, not all the time. My next experiment will be a Wonga Beach Coconut. Hymmm

Native to my area.  I just love this tree.  It's BIG and tough.  The fruits are like little crispy apples (not too sweet), wildlife attracting, ornamental and is best choice for a shade tree.  The best Fire Fly shows (Sept) are always under this tree.

Comments: - Planted 8 seedlings 2007 (AndrewA excess), at top of driveway. Grafted 2008. Scions have taken and are now pushing new growth 30cm. Scionwoods came from Bob's seedling which I propagated 20yrs ago from Bowen Hills Bne.  Was a great day. So finally Bob's Flame flowered 2yrs ago.  We waited 18yrs for it to flower and when it did it was spectacular.

I am wondering myself whether or not these would really be suitable for coastel north of Brisbane weather. I think not actually and I wondered what sort of climate you are ine. What would be the lowest temperature you get down to in winter?
