Natal Plum

Comments: -

Natal Plum - Carissa Macrocarpa - March 2016

This little shrub is still well like under 10cm one year on.  It just hasn't gone anywhere.  Except it did flower!.  The most lovelly smelling little white flower.

July 2017 took the shadecloth guard off it to see if that makes a difference.

It enjoyed having more sun but in 2018 I ended up relocating it to another part of the garden in the hope of giving it a better chance.

Very spiny little shrub with beautiful flowers and hope to see it grow up

Dwarf Peach - Fresno (Grafted)

Comments: -

Planted July 2017 in bonsai bag in the ground. Bought bare rooted fron Daleys

It got a little confused in winter and has one little peach growing now in late winter. Has had some flowers so don't expect too many fruit this year but don't want too many anyway at only one year in the ground.

Apricot Low Chill

Apricot - Moorpark

Comments: - Hubby loves stone fruit.  One day when we have our grey water system established and shelter for such trees!

Mango - Valencia Pride (Grafted) ^7/10

Comments: - Has formed fruit, but knocked off by dog, child birds or wind. Tried various watering strategies and seemed to have found happy medium now. Will concentrate on branch growth and shape. Needs more water than I thought. Is happy now. Have planted Florigon and Honey nearby. Am running out of room. I was never allowed Mangoes as a child (NZ), so I consider them to be a quintessential part of the Australian summer experience. To be self sufficient in mangoes!

Dwarf Apricot - Fireball (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Fruits 6 weeks or more before Moorepark and before birds work out to ransack my garden. Big, fat, flavoursome fruit of vibrant colour. Shades chicken coop and twice the size of the much older Morepark nearby. All Daleys trees do better than those bought locally. Very satisfying being so quick from flower to fruit. My children won't eat apricots (weird) so they are all for me. Bought a preserving unit in anticipation of years ahead.

Peach - Angel Subtropical (Grafted) ^7/10
