Pomegranate - Wonderful ^8/10

Comments: -

The flowers are so vivid and beautiful - fruit will be a bonus!

Bought from Bunnings so I am not sure on the variety, we have had flowers twice so far but no fruit.  In a massive pot - this is our second attempt with the pommegranate - our first plant was in the pot and did not drain properly - with our wet season there was two inches of water in the top of the pot for about a week and the plant died. We now have made sure the drainage is better (more holes in the pot and a small layer of gravel) and the new tree is thriving

Fig Black Genoa ^9/10

Comments: -

Yum! What a plant. Needs lots of water in the warmer months and the application of pyrethrum and garlic prevents caterpillars from eating the leaves off. Fruit is very good; sweet and juicy. Size up around 100 grams which is pretty large.

Mine (and my father's) suffered last season and didn't produce much fruit and what was there was dry. Just a bad season I guess. Season before that the trees were loaded. Fresh fig are so good! They will fruit all year round but spring summer fruit are best.

My tree has been pruned to give a central trunk and allow above groung branches. It was formed as a central trunk with 4 surrounding grounded branched before. This made it difficult to support and it broke often.

good looking tree, sweet fruit, deciduious. It seems to have fruit most months but we never get to eat any ( between the kids, birds and possums I think)

A net might be a good idea but its too small to bother with ATM. When its bigger I will net it to ensure I get to try the fruit.

Fig Black Genoa ^7/10

I like this fig, so planted one. It took a while to adapt to the new (dry rock/clay) conditions, shedding all of its leaves, but is now flushing with new growth from lower limbs.

Sandpaper fig

Comments: -

This tree came up from a seed a bird dropped.  I had no idea what it was at first, but as soon as it grew a bit bigger, and I felt the leaves, I knew what it was.  Seems to like where it is, so will probably just leave it as is.

Pomegranate - Elcite

Comments: -

Another of my favourite fruits. Love the juicy seeds, dispite the messiness. At first my plant dropped all its flowers due to lack of water. I have planted it a bigger pot and thankfully there are new blossums on the way. I then bought 2 more plants.

This tough little plant has survived in a tube stock pot all year and remains that way as I haven't found a home fro it yet. Hmm... feeling a little guilty now.
