SueBee starts with ... Just found a Maqui Berry at the B in Geelong. only $11.95 so very stoked today. It is frost tender whilst young so will have to provide protection for a while but we don't always have frosts so fingers crossed. One question is : Is it self fertile or do I need a pollinator?

Linton says... Most Bunnings stores in Melbourne stock Maquis. I got 3 plants since you need both male and female and they are about two years old but none of them have flowered yet. Unfortunately there is no way that I am aware of to tell if they are male or female. Just worry that they might all be males but you could increase the odds if you had say 5 plants. Would be intersted to know how long they take to mature. | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 14th December 2016 9:34am #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

chookie2 says... I am on the lookout for a second Maqui as my first has done little since I planted it in 2016.I am sure it needs a 'friend'. It is now about 1 mt high and wide but doing nothing but grow slowly. Maybe a better site in more sun needed? It is in partial shade as I read it was forest fringe dweller that liked acid soil....maybe not? | About the Author SueBee S.W.
