Andean Walnut

Peanut Butter Tree (Seedling)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

May 2020 - Has been growing slowly, but consistently, since potting. We will see how it copes with winter in Toowoomba - may have to bring it inside on cool nights. 

September 2021 - Grew well (albeit relatively slowly in a 30cm pot) until winter. Survived outside, now in 25L pot, through Toowoomba winter - however looking poorly & lost ~75% of leaves. Now has new growth buds - looking hopeful.

Update March 2021 - After a long drought, one excellent summer rainfall.... I have a good crop of Walnuts. 

Photo taken 2009, No rain Nov-Jan09, top dressed 09, No nuts yet. 

It's now Oct 2016 and have updated photo.  It been fruiting since 2013 (March) and have germinated the seeds (90% strike).  I'm amazed at it's growth burst after dormancy, sometimes 2m in one season.  This tree has been cut back every winter for scionwood.

Dwarf Coconut Malay Bronze (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: - Bought from Daleys, I like this palm because Its a food producing Palm. Planted 15/02/2017, I dug a 3 foot by 3 foot hole filed with sand, compost, garden soil and mixed it well with my clay soil. As you can see it is sitting up off the ground a bit but will drop as it settles. When I got the palm sat it in seawead solution as instructed. Spent about two hours in the sink in the solution before planting in the mix outside. I put 9 liters of seawead solution over it again after I planted it.  The palm is in sub-tropical climate SE Qld, So will let you all know how it goes.

This is in the back corner of the garden . Macadamia 741 is supposed to be able to be heavily pruned . Thats why i bought that variety . 

Because this is an Australian rainforest tree it needs a fertiliser with very little phosphorous . Less that 3% is good . Load the tree up with mulch , and because it is a rainforest tree it doesn't matter if the mulch is right up against the trunk . All plants need sun to grow including rainforest plants . When planting pretend its a rose and cultivate the soil well before planting . They have timid roots so needs a big loosened area to grow well . Excellent drainage in full sun .
