Custard Apple - Hilary White 8/10 Town Farm's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4 days 19hrs Comments: - Yet to fruit. Gets a fair bit of wind and we live on the water so I have had it staked. Trying to keep growth under control as I am limited with space. I have a few flowers on this tree now so am hoping the high winds don't blow them off! I think I pruned it at the wrong time so didn't get fruit again this year. I think I will just leave it alone this year and see what happens.

Wampi (Cutting) 8/10 Emma's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5 days 10hrs Comments: - Never tried fruit but review of the fruit in Subtropical Gardening Magazine sounded promising. Since planting in the ground in March 2010 growth has been rapid and dense, the folliage alone is quite attractive. By ground I mean sugarcane mulch and a handfull of coir peat as my whole garden is no-dig, no soil.

Guava - Strawberry (Grafted) 9/10 Whyfour's Edible FruitsUpdate: 9 days 13hrs Comments: - When I was a kid we used to visit my great Aunt in AUckland and can remember sneaking to the front yard to pinch her guavas,eating them straight off the tree. She used to make incredible guava jelly . A clear dusky pink color and so sweet it made your salivary glands hurt. When we moved to bundaberg one of the first fruit trees we planted was guava. . Last year we had a bumper group and yes they were as wonderful as I remembered. A tart but sweet flavour. I know it sounds stupid but I reccon you can taste the Vitamin C. Your mouth feels fresh and clean afterwards. We made our guava jelly ,a little cloudy to be perfect but we will get better. Tasted great though. This year the fruit were bigger and not nearly as numerous. The Bats Birds and Possum didnt leave enough for jam ,just nibbles. We are planting more guava trees so in coming yars the animals will leave us more. It stands 4-5 metres We have prunned the bottom branches from the tree and in summer it protects our raised garden beds from the heat of the sun. It is a striking tree, the leaves being a rich gren with smooth bark ,a reddy brown colour. When the flowers are out there are little bees with blue bottoms that buzz around pollinating. Over all a pretty tree with yummy fruit that encourages wildlife and beneficial bugs.

(Grafted) 9/10Susan's Edible FruitsUpdate: 11 days 15hrs Comments: - I think its wonderful to be able to grow peaches, nectarines and plums in a suburban backyard off the single tree. An added bonus is the beautiful floral display at the end of winter when everything is looking a bit drab. Last year was the first year I had significant fruit on it as its still quite small (approx 120 cm tall now) but this year it looks like it will even be more productive!!. Had a problem with possums (or dog??) last year who attacked the bottom graft with the nectarines on it so I didn't get to taste those, but the peaches were delicious! Am planning to cover the tree this year as the fruit ripens so hopefully will keep out all the critters who want a share of my harvest. I should take better care of it. Seriously, I don't water it at all unless we haven't had rain for a month and it still keeps growing. The only pruning I do is to keep the grafts in check.

(Cutting) 8/10Nell's Edible FruitsUpdate: 11 days 16hrs Comments: - If you're a serious icecream eater then you know the best vanilla icecream is made with vanilla beans. However, they cost around $5 for a single bean, so I'm having a go at growing my own. My first plant was in the wrong position and was dug up by my dogs so it died but the second one is in a shadier spot and doing much better.

Ceylon spinach. (Seedling) 1/10Elisabeth's Edible FruitsUpdate: 15 days 19hrs Comments: - It is so easy to grow. A very vigorous and hardy vine. I started from seeds that were sown directly into the warm soil. We eat the tender shoots and leaves cooked in all sorts of dishes and raw in salads or on sandwiches. I was first introduced to this plant when my children were little & we lived in Tonga. I took cuttings from a friends vine while in Fiji & when I got back to my own little garden in Tonga I simlpy stuck the cuttings into the soil. At that time I didnt know what the vine was really called. We just called it climbing spinach. When I came to Australia to live I wanted to plant some more but couldnt find it anywhere. I then knew that it had to have another name. So many years later when I was introduced to the internet I started my search all over again. I googled under all different headings to no avail. I then decided I would ask some nurserys to send me catalogues in the hope that I would spot a picture of my coverted vine. It was in a Green Harvest Organic gardening resource guide that I thought I saw what looked like my vine. I cant tell you how thrilled I was to finally track down these seeds. My first purchase was for 5 packets, just in case something went wrong with my first lot of seedlings. True to form, with this extremly hardy vine, every single seed sprung to life! I have since harvested my own seeds from the little red berries that come out in winter. I dried the seeds/berries out & have shared them with anyone that loves to grow their own vegies. I have also taken cuttings off my vines & shared them with friends as well. I have sent my harvested seeds to family & friends in other states of Australia trying hard to convert them into home vegie growers as this is the ideal plant to start with as very little care & attention is needed once it has taken off. I know that Daley's deals in fruit & nut trees etc. and I have fruit and nut trees in abundance along with my vegies, but this wonderful vine is truely my all time favourite, so to make a story up about any other plant in my garden just wouldnt be true to me.
