The birds pick at it when the fruit is tiny, and thin it out for me. By the time the fruit rippens the birds have gone off it, and we get lovely apples:)

Dwarf Mango - Irwin (Grafted)

Comments: -

just planted at 4 ft tall, but feeling good as researched it's yield v high, resistance to disease good, and good for people who want lots of fruit trees as only grows 2-3 m tall. Dug a hole almost 1m cubed, filled with well draining compost and soil, so it should be happy.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black (Grafted) ^5/10

Comments: -

Purchased this in 2008 as I enjoy mullberries but don't have the room left in the yard for a full sized tree. Growing this in half a wine barrel will keep the tree dwarfed and I'll still get a "taste" of fruit off it.

Reasonably heavily pruned due to being in pot. Grows faster than the Black English and isn't as suitable for pot culture in my opinion

2010- I've revised my opinion of this- the vigorous growth means heaps of mulberries off the new growth. Pruned this in late summer when I repotted it into a larger pot (note to self- termites love half wine barrels left in damp gardens). Got an early autumn crop of mulberries from the new growth!!

Dwarf Apple - Pink Lady (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

I LOVE this apple! Compared to those in the supermarkets, nothing even comes close! I remember the first apple I ate from this tree. It was a dark pink, as I  bit into it I felt the juices dribbling down my mouth, and a burst of flavour delivered to my senses. Total extasy! The sweetness, with a hint of tartness, and the power and flavour of a hundred store bought apples, meant that I spent the entire afternoon, gauging myself on every apple on the tree!

This tree is the one that started it all for me. I now have five apple, five pear, two plum, two peach, one nectarine, five passionfruit, ten grapes, six citrus, two cherry, three gauva, two mulberry and four olives! This tree started an obsession.

Lime - West Indian Lime: dwarf (Seedling)

Comments: -

Dwarf variety of lime. Still in its nursery pot because I have now bought a new apple tree which is going in the spot I had reserved for my lime. I will probably put it in a 50 ltr pot as my lemon is doing very well in its pot. 

Decided to plant my lime in its original place between my Granny smith and a Pinkabelle tree. It is now doing so great with 10cm of new growth and it looks so much healthier now.

Dwarf Apple - Granny Smith (Grafted)

 Dwarf Granny Smith purchased early Feb 2010 to aid pollination for my pinkabells, and of course to eat and cook with :) It is nearly at full height and I know it will produce well as it had fruit when I purchased it from Tass1, but I removed them before transplanting.

Planted in a raised garden bed 1800x 800x 800mm on the 15th November, has 4 fruit on it at the moment so hoping they will continue to grow.

I have since removed the fruit as I want them to grow as much as possible before winter.

Dwarf Mandarin

Comments: -

Dug up from cramped space at my father's house in winter 2009 as a 1.2m tree. Strong first flush of new growth and flowers. Pruned heavily to correct shape (thanks Jimmy) in Dec 09 and repotted in large pot . Growth buds almost immediately. Rubbing off unwanted locations

I've listed as Dwarf, but I've not yet got a clue what variety it is...oops, this is supposed to be an orange, not a mandarin

Oops again ... this 'mandarin' should be some kind of orange.

Height 2 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Cross Pollinator Variety: Dorsett

Comments

Partnered with the Dorsett, Not as good cropping but I think thats because of the shape. Trying to get more laterals.

pretty sure the kuffel creek book said anna took a little while then went nuts. Needed lots of thinning. Dorsett is an animal - no apple will keep up with it in early years
