My Edibles: Strawberry Trees QLD

Strawberry - Redlands Joy

Comments: - I have quite a few different varieties of strawberries.  I wasn't getting much fruit off them for a couple of years, and they always looked quite scrappy...........so I moved them into a different position with afternoon shade, and starting foliar feeding them, and are now getting some great results.

Pollination: No

Strawberry - Maroochy Flame ^9/10

Comments: -

Maroochy flame and Redlands Joy. You can't have too many, and they are pest free. I think I have to plant new ones after this season of third generation suckers, though. They seem to be getting a second wind, I thought strawberries were finished in November, but they are covered in flowers and unripe fruit again in late December.

Strawberry - Festival (Seedling) ^5/10

Comments: -

I love strawberries- who doesn't? I have these grwoing in a semi-hydroponic system. For some reason the fruit a very, very small. It is in a semi-shade position so it may be due to lack of sun, or maybe because the plants are small. Maybe I need more fertilzer...

Guava - Strawberry (Grafted) ^9/10

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.
