Diana's Edible Fruits
Update: 13 days 9hrs

Comments: -

Seven in a hedge. The spines are huge! Fruited first December 2011. Fruit is impossible to see until it turns orange and soon after, drops off the plant. The fruit is surprisingly aromatic and quite tart. I stewed some with sugar, and made some into chutney.

Rollinia - Brazilian Custard Apple (Grafted) 8/10

JenESco's Edible Fruits
Update: 35 days 19hrs

Comments: -

I just loved the description of a fruit that tasted like lemon delicious pudding, took a punt, bought one, it has only ever given me one fruit, i tasted it and was sold! There are masses of flowers on it now but no fruit set even though i'm keeping the water up (you'd think in Brisbane we'd have high enough humidity) so i'm having a go at hand pollination. The suspense is killing me. I hope it works.

Jimmy's Edible Fruits
Update: 45 days 16hrs

Comments: -

would love some avos, so i bought a couple of hass and a secendo.  planted march, established but all slowed nearly to a stop over winter. beginning of spring, secendo flowered and is  now flushed with new growth. hass buds beginning to bloom mid spring.

Height 500 Centimetres

Growing: In the Ground

Question:

I have used no pest control. noticed stems and trunks of hass avos with brown blotches, any ideas?  Also new growth on secondo is being eaten by small, long, green insects similar to a praying mantis. Pyrethrum spray says do not use on new growth and i would like a safer option. would a garlic or white oil spray be ok on a secendo?

ceylon spinach (Seedling) 10/10

Tropicalvegan's Edible Fruits
Update: 60 days 19hrs

Comments: -

It grows really vigorously throughout the tropical summer. It grows from seeds, or cutting. When you cut a stalk to harvest, you can replant after removing the leaves and it will continue growing. As a food plant, it is very versatile - can be eaten raw or cooked.

Planted: 2008

Sun/Shade: Medium Sun

Water Given in: Spring

Pollination: No

When I Fertilise: Never

Pest Control:

We've never had pests on our ceylon spinach, even when we have caterpillars on other plants in the garden.

Rocoto Tree Chilli 6/10

ManishU's Edible Fruits
Update: 63 days 12hrs

Comments: -

Update 06-Dec-2011:Tree doing really well and producing lotsa chillies :) New pic attached. The chillies are not very hot though.


Update 30-Sep-2011:

The tree is doing well after planting it in the ground since i last posted about the aphids problem.


Love the idea of having a chilli tree !!!

The leaves of my chilli plants are curling from the day i received this from Daleys. Not sure what the problem is. Another chilli plant close to it is also having the same problem.

Searched the internet for clues and it seems it a viral disease propagated through the seed OR caused by aphids. I have a few more chilli plants close by but they seem to be doing alright.

Can i save my chilli tree ?

Jaboticaba (Seedling) 10/10

Simon's Edible Fruits
Update: 125 days 10hrs

Comments: -

I'm growing this as a hedge and am very happy.

It tends to grow upwards and I have been pulling some of the branches to the side to get it to fill out.  Very happy with the result

I prune every three or so months to keep the hedge look. After 2 years it hit approx 2 metres, my desired height.  We did a renovation at about the time, lost one and damaged another.  The damaged plant was stressed and has now started to fruit.  The others have not yet.

Very happy with the hedge, very hapy with the fruit.

My three year old loves to go and check if there are fruit and eat any that are ready

Hi Simon in sunny Brisbane.Good photos. We had one in northern NSW.Slow to start but at 5-7yrs flowered & fruited profusely.We watewred to establish when young then it really looked after itself. A very dense tree, branching more as it got older 1.5m W x 3+m H. I hope your hedge goes well, you'll probably get loads of fruit.

Yes I'm a huge fan of coffee trees and have made a few cups of coffee using my own beans. I am a huge novice but very much enjoy the understanding I get from doing it by myself. Even though I have quite a few plants I don't think I will be able to support my coffee addiction from them.

Dwarf Lemonade (Grafted) 4/10

Peter's Edible Fruits
Update: 163 days 9hrs

Comments: -

I like lemonade fruit as it has a more sweet flesh than lemons in general and makes a good refreshing drink when cold. Many years ago I remember purchasing this fruit at a selected fruit and vegie shop at Clayfield in Qld. I have never seen this fruit anywhere else except at Fruit World in NSW.

 

Fruiting Months September and October

Planted: 2010

Growing: In a Pot

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Complete Citrus Feed and slow release fertiliser. (Searles)

When I Fertilise: When Fruiting and Yearly

Pest Control:

White oil

Question:

I like to know why the flowers are not staying on. I've provided the plant with correct fertlizer, it's in a pot but I'm contemplating placing in the ground with real soil but not sure when to do this.

Will I need to place some type of support in the ground. i.e. a stick to help the plant support itself?

Apple - Granny Smith (Grafted) 6/10

Paula-f's Edible Fruits
Update: 278 days 10hrs

Comments: -

Not sure how this apple will go in out subtropical climate.  We are actually situated up in the hills away from the coast so it gets a bit colder here, so I'm hoping this tree won't be a total loss.

The last 2 winters here have been quite warm so I'm very surprised that I have harvested 3 granny smith apples over that time.

I have shaped this tree by pulling down the branches so that they are horizontal, and this has also made prunning so much easier......all I have to do is thin out the stragglers and cut the vertical growths by about 2/3rds.
