Hamelia patens Compacta - Dwarf Fire Bush

The small black fruits have an acidic, refreshing taste and in Mexico they are used to make a fermented drink. Can be grown in full sun or part shade but best if protected over winter in Melbourne.

Santalum obtusifolium - Dwarf Sandalwood

Comments: - The dwarf Quandong tree, Santalum obtusifolium, is a member of the Sandalwood family that occurs along the east coast of Australia. it grows as a small bush, usually about 1 metre, so is ideal for pot culture or where there is limited space. It bears deep purple fruit prolifically which are said to be edible and the seeds appear identical to the more common Sandalwood nuts that are good eating.

Dwarf Lime - Tahitian (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

Going great, has lowanna strawberries growing around the base with some french marigolds and a french lavender as well. Doesn't seem to mind, in fact they may be acting like mulch perhaps.

Al lthe fruit dropped this time, but that's to be expected with a brand new young lime tree. It was also suffering black aphids for a day or two before I noticed, but some white oil sorted them out very swiftly and then ladybirds came and helped as well.

Very healthy, happy young tree.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

10/10 for rapid growth and surviving my nice and nephews... Planted this in September 2020 as a tiny Bunnings plant and by the start of Winter 2021, its about 7 foot tall! looking forward to it fruiting.

10.08.2022: This tree fruited 3 times in its first season. The 1st fruit was dissapointing as so tiny and I was contemplating taking it out. Im glad I waited as it fruited 2 more times and the berries were large and luscious. Now sitting pretty at around 12 feet. Beautiful uniform shape and its autumn leaves provide great garden mulch - VERY worthwhile tree for small gardens.
