apricot - trevat (Grafted)BJ's Edible FruitsUpdate: 33 days 6hrs Comments: - As they are only babies I removed all the fruit as soon as it set as I want them to get their roots fully established so they can survive the summer!They are being espilared against the fence. A few have been hard hit by the storm and had some unorthordox pruning (thanks Perth storms) - but they seem to have recovered well. All their leaves have been removed for winter and I'm hoping they spring out of dormancy soon) leavs are emerging late September. There are not many flowers - this could be due to Perth storm pruning, or insufficient chill, but a few fruit have set (obviously not enough ... one can never have too many apricots!) I always knew apricots would be a challenge in Perth! I striped the plants of leaves in June. Hopefully they will learn that it is winter and crop in summer (maybe). The first blossom has appeared mid September 2011. It is still just waking up as of mid October 2011. There might be tiny fruitlets (just a few). It would be wonderful to get apricots in Perth (given we have far too few chill hours) Jan 2012 - yummy, yummy, yummy ... fresh apricots are so delicious. The is no danger of an apricot crop in Perth breaking the branches of the tree, but a dozen fruit per tree is a nice treat, and so much more flavour than in the shops.

Orange - Washington Navel (Grafted) EalaBann's Edible FruitsUpdate: 176 days 18hrs Comments: - The Washington Navel is one of the most widely known (and grown) citrus. It is a navel orange, meaning that it has a small "navel" (actually a tiny secondary fruit) and crops mostly over winter in our climate. The Washington Navel variety is so-named because it was distributed through the US by the Washington office of the Department of Agriculture. It has a rich, "classic" orange taste and is generally seedless due to the tree's inability to produce viable pollen. This tree is part of our citrus hedge - a row of citrus trees planted along a north-west facing boundary fence at 1m spacing. The plan is for the trees to grow into an effective hedge that will be kept pruned to about 2m high. We prepared the planting area for the citrus hedge by incorporating "fruit & veg" soil mix into our existing sandy soil. Mushroom compost was worked into the bottom of the planting hole which was then backfilled with more "fruit and veg" mix. The area was lightly mulched with mushroom compost, leaving the area about 8cm around the trunk clear.

Avocado - Hass (A) (Grafted) 5/10 Claire's Edible FruitsUpdate: 386 days 7hrs Comments: - Attractive tree, taste of fruit, Planted: 2010 Height 1 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring SummerPollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Blood and bone and mulch When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: None - no fruit yet so no problems so far. Organic Status:Organic Question: I have had this avocado hass planted for about 8 months now it is about 1m-1.5m tall but has not developed any fruit yet as it is still to young. The question i wanted advice on was that i have eaten hass Avocado before and like the taste but they are generally not all that large a fruit. I have seen other avocado trees around the Perth area that have a larger and slightly different shaped fruit on them (more pear shaped) and the skin of the fruit does not turn purple like the hass but remains green. Cold anyone please tell me the name of this avocado, more information about it, how it compares to the hass and best place to purchase in Perth? Would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Cut leaf mintbush 6/10 Jane's Edible FruitsUpdate: 515 days 14hrs Comments: - I don't have a back yard yet - it is still a building site, but in one little wet corner, I have managed to grow mint and parsley. I love mint! It is easy to grow and makes my lamb taste so good. I am looking forward to getting my garden done and I will definately be adding a small lemon tree. By boiling mint in a pot with some water and sugar and adding some lemon and freezing, I make a lovely lemon-mint sorbet that takes care of those sore throats before they turn into anything worse!

(Seedling) 10/10 Julie's Edible FruitsUpdate: 530 days 10hrs Comments: - I grow this every year, and there is always someone who asks 'what is that?' It looks like a large-leaved silverbeet, with light green leaves. Very prolific - don't know why it isn't grown commercially. It has a milder taste than s'beet, and is an annual - it grows all winter and goes to seed in summer. I think I bought the seed originally from Phoeniz Seeds, and have kept the seeds ever since. It only gets water in spring if it is dry. Winter rainfall is enough, even though we have had a very dry winter in WA. Planted: 2010 Height 40 Centimetres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 3 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: No Fertiliser or Organics Used: compost, fish emulsion later in season. When I Fertilise: Spring Pest Control: No pests seen apart from an occasional snail. Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?
