Bay Tree (Cutting) 10/10 Charles Cant Spell's Edible FruitsUpdate: 34 days 18hrs Planted: 2007 Height 1.2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Winter Pollination: No Pest Control: None required yet. SOmetimes the tree gets scale if you let it get to dense and out of control. Organic Status:Organic Charles Cant Spell's Tips - The Bay Laurel (Laurus nobilis, Lauraceae), also known as True Laurel, Sweet Bay, Laurel Tree, Grecian Laurel, Laurel, or Bay Tree, is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub reaching 10%u201318 m tall, native to the Mediterranean region. The aromatic laurel leaves are used in many countries of central and southern Europe to flavour stews, soups, meat dishes, and even fish. They are used to season canned cucumbers or herring, or added to give aroma to vinegar. It is also widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in regions with mediterranean or oceanic climates, and as an indoor plant in colder regions. Mainteance free. Its in a herb garden bed so get s water and manure from them. I think this must have been in the pot to long before I bought it and the plant seems dwarfed. Very little growth in 3 years. |

Apple - Pinkabelle Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 60 days 3hrs Planted: 2009 Height 1.2 metres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 2 Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Fruit When I Fertilise: Winter and Spring Pest Control: Currently treating it with Copper Oxychloride solution. 14 day intervals Organic Status:Organic Mish's Tips - Planted 15th of November this year, did flower very well, but they were lost in the strong winds. Hoping that they will stick next season when the foliage is thicker. Unfortunately it has powdery mildew, which it had when I purchased it, but as a newby I didn't know anything about pests and diseases... CommentsBrad says... [84 days 17hrs ago]there's lots of possible things for powdery mildew - apparently milk works well. I was surprised to find some in my courtyard (despite no spray watering) but haven't treated it yetDiana says... [71 days 6hrs ago] One part milk to nine parts water is a preventative. If you can see symptoms, you probably need something stronger. Milk didn't do much for me, but regular seaweed solution has really helped in my garden. Diana.Mish says... [60 days 20hrs ago] Thanks guys. I treated with Copper only twice and have found the hot weather to be more beneficial than spraying... fingers crossed for next season.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
Finger Lime - Sunshine Yellow Brad's Edible FruitsUpdate: 71 days 4hrs Planted: 2008 Height 1 metres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Full Sun When I Fertilise: Spring Brad's Tips - I nearly lost this plant summer 2008-09. Installed new drippers, I think it was dry then drenched, Lost canopy but when water was managed got lots of water shoots. In 2009 Spring I pruned for growth in original canopy and now looking ok. I gradually chopped back the water shoots. Some trunk damage evident, but here's hoping for a healthy tree. First Flower, Nov 2009, didn't hang around. Repotted and relocated Dec 22 2009 - canopy happy again and water shoots removed, but trunk damage still evident. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Organic Status:Partially Organic Liz's Tips - This has not been a great success story to date - I have hardly had any fruit off it, and bought a new passionfruit this year to replace it... and now the original one is loaded with fruit! (My grandfather maintained that "Sunnypash" was better than Nelly Kelly, but I haven't been able to find a Sunnypash.) * You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Jelly Palm or Wine Palm (Seedling) 10/10 Lorna's Edible FruitsUpdate: 203 days 8hrs Fruiting Months June, July, August, September Planted: 2003 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 5 Fruit Harvest: 15 kilograms per Year First Fruited: 5 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Summer Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Yearly Pest Control: None needed Organic Status:Organic Lorna's Tips - No maintenance required. Does its own thing and fruits very well. Easy to bag the fruit to stop birds. Each spray of fruit is like a separate branch of the tree. Put a big chaff bag over it and when ripe the fruit fall off into the neck of the bag for easy collection. Masses of fruit over a prolonged period. Each spray of fruit (usually four to six every year) ripen at a slightly different time, prolonging the period of time when fruit is available. Ripens in winter when every other fruit tree is on holiday. Useful out of season fresh fruit. * You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
