WELLINGTON POINT, QLD

Rosella

I was gifted Rosella jam by a neighbour. I recalled my mother making it when I was young and she grew them at our farmhouse in northern NSW. My wife loves making jam so we thought we would try our hand at growing some. I planted them in a well drained spot, have kept them well watered and fertilised. They are thriving.

Great Jam. This Rosella plant got so big it over grew where my Daleys Grafted Kohala Longan tree is planted so had to hack it back, still got lots of fruit. I place the seeds in a pot and just cover with water, bring to boil for 30 minutes. Then strain...
