blueberry - rabbit eyeBJ's Edible FruitsUpdate: 15hrs20mins Comments: - These guys didn't cope too well with grey WA dust despite every attempt to improve the soil. They are now in pots - although the pots are burried in the ground so the rim of the pot is covered by the mulch. Despite sharing a bed with thriving citrus these guys and seem much happier in a specialist mix. I'm seriously thinking that come spring I will replace them with carpet roses - they just look scraggly in the location Flowers have started emerging during August Planted: 2009 Height 0.75 metres Growing: In a Pot Qty: 5 First Fruited: 3 Months from Purchase in Pot Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Pest Control: none Organic Status:Partially Organic Was this review helpful?

Mulberry - Dwarf Black (Grafted) 10/10 Gabbie's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1 day 16hrs Comments: - I bought this in late summer 2009 and I transfered it into a large pot and got a small handfull of berries. It's now mid August 2010 and it has more than 100 fruit growing that should be ripe in a few weeks and I am hoping for a second crop in mid summer. A fantastic little tree and I can't believe that it has produced fruit so quickly a hit with my three year old I can tell you. He is eagerly awaiting until the berries are ripe to eat them which means they must taste pretty good if my fussy eater loves them. I am considering getting a couple more and gifting them to friends and family for Xmas.

Organic Status:Partially Organic Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report CommentsAbhijit says... [10 days 18hrs ago]This post is really helpful as I want a mulberry tree but don't have anymore place for another tree in the ground. What size pot are you growing this in? How long can the tree be left in the pot? Any special potting mix to be used? Whats the name of this variety? Cheers AbhiGabbie says... [1 day 16hrs ago] I am just using a large pot I got from bunnings its probably 40 - 50cms high you would need to transplant the tree every 2 or so years into a larger pot. Another idea instead of a pot is bonsai bags I have a couple apples and madarins in bonsai bags and they are growing quite well. i just used an all purpose good quality potting mix with some compost but the dwarf black mulberry that i have is quite tolerant. Except for some chook poo and water I don't do anything to it.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
