My Edibles: Dwarf Trees NSW

dwarf coconut-unknown var (Seedling) ^7/10

Comments: -

I know  I'm having myself on with these dwaft coconuts but the foliage is nice and besides, I like palms anyway. They got through last winter easily and have doubled in growth over the last year. I'm not expecting them to fruit anytime soon but they're a good show off to my visitors. At the moment they're in 25lit bonzai bags,and will have to be potted up into something bigger next year if the growth keeps happening.

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian (Grafted)

Comments: -

This tree is struggling, it keeps getting cut back hard to remove gall wasps and it has not had a chance to grow very much.  Gets scale and suffers from neglect. I will have to give it more attention if I want it to thrive, I wish I had bought a tree on trifoliata as the dwarf is too slow.

Planted: 2008

Pest Control:

get spray occasionally with pest oil, I need to give this tree more attention
