HappyEarth says... Hi Suzanne, ive seen mature trees growing in northern nsw and they are one of the most beautiful small trees ive seen. Ive got two growing at my place in Wollongong and i find them very easy to grow. Never tried the fruits but have heard they are really good.

Diana says... Hi Suzanne, There is a good one of these trees at Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens, in the orchard section (in my edibles under Mt Coot-tha botanical gardens). It has coppiced after being cut back by the look of it. This tree is well suited to south-east Qld. There are several people in the forum highly recommending them for flavour. Mine is healthy, but too young for fruit yet. Diana | About the Author Brisbane 12th January 2010 9:00pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Hi Suzanne, It is a small tree (3-5m) that likes pruning. Mine looks like a shrub, I intend to keep it smaller than head height. Diana. PS You have no pictures, plants, name or place name in your my edibles page- it looks like it failed to load anything.

VF says... Thanks for replies. My Cedar Bay ok at this stage. Ivepeters, have you been using any product in particular to help recovery? I'm also a bit puzzled with the disease - I have 3 Midgens, all within 30-40cm of each other, (and next to Ceylon Hill Gooseberry), but only the middle plant is affected. | About the Author VF 22nd September 2013 8:25pm #UserID: 6795 Posts: 736 View All VF's Edible Fruit Trees |

ivepeters says... Their not as good as they once were, but hopefully with this spring weather some new growth will take over. Doing the seasol every so often. At the first sign, which was dramatic, gave everyone a good spray of mancozeb and copper. There were some specks on the cedar bays but the spray took care of that. Their all going great. | About the Author ivepeters Brisbane 22nd September 2013 11:30pm #UserID: 6741 Posts: 527 View All ivepeters's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... I know the one and many of the seeds are from fruits not grown in Thailand. Latin America and the US are where all the good ones are and there are giant types in Mexico and Brazil that I have heard of. I am sceptical about ebay and the seed company must have suppliers in other parts of the world. I don't know how legit they are.By the way they are not legal to import, | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 21st May 2014 8:31pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Don says... Thanks for the help all of you, I will keep looking and let yous know if im succesful! Ivepeters, how would you rate the cedar bay cherry I only discovered them the other day and was wondering how much variation there is among them as far as flavour goes. Another on my to get list I think. These eugenias are an interesting bunch of trees, I have two grumichamas at the moment and they are growing really well in big pots, very attractive plants. | About the Author Don Browns plains 23rd May 2014 9:47pm #UserID: 9961 Posts: 26 View All Don 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Edward says... I bought a cherry of the rio grand from Daleys about a year ago. One of the small branches broke so I stuck it in potting mix to see if it would take. Two months later it still appears to be alive. I haven't checked for roots, but it does appear to have struck successfully. Thought this might be of interest to others on this forum who are keen to grow this plant. | About the Author Edward3 Carlingford 30th May 2014 9:48pm #UserID: 1655 Posts: 172 View All Edward3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Don says... Finally got my hands on some rio grande cherries, have them available at forbidden fruits nursery thanks Ive! Also got a pitomba while I was there just to add another eugenia to my now growing collection. Would not knock back a yellow grumi if you dont need it Ive. Also anybody looking for black sapote, forbidden fruits has absolutely oodles of them for sale, 6ft tall trees for 5 bucks!! All grafted varieties just didnt have the room or otherwise I would have grabbed a couple. | About the Author Don Browns plains 31st May 2014 9:02pm #UserID: 9961 Posts: 26 View All Don 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... ip E.cereja is like a broadleaf cherry of rio grande with longer fruit.I did plant E.lutescens,E.dysenterica,E.observa and E.pyriformis as well. I have a few jaboticabas and planted white, M.coronata, Red hybrid,vexator and will plant trunciflorsa,guaquieba,oblongata and scarlet if space permits. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 5th June 2014 10:34pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Don says... Mike tr, where do you source your eugenias from? You have some very interesting species there, am just starting to learn about them now and trying tofind how many types are in australia. I like the look of cereja but confiused are they the same as rio grande or different as alot of the sites contradict each other.

Don says... Miketr, could I ask where I could find eugenia cereja plants for sale? Would like to give them a try. Have been trying to do a bit of research on them since you mentioned them a while back and am keen to try them. If not would I be better joining a tropical fruit club or something along those lines? | About the Author Don BORONIA HEIGHTS,4124,QLD 27th June 2014 10:36pm #UserID: 9961 Posts: 26 View All Don 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mike Tr says... Don I have never joined any clubs like that and don't know if you can get many rarities through them.The E.cereja is not as common as cherry of rio grande and I'd be surprised if there are any sellers of them around. Only about 2 to 3% of Eugenias are available in Australia. I had a few seeds of a number of species sent to me as a one off thing. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 28th June 2014 8:07am #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jenny says... Hi Don, yes 3! Hopefully they've set. My big one's gone gone gone. How are those seedlings going? My cedar bay cherry is about to flower again. You've really got to be vigilant with that myrtle rust, I keep pinching off & binning affected leaves it's incredible how vulnerable they are. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. The seeds you gave me have not yet come up but that is not unusual I'm sure. | About the Author Jenny Brisbane 25th September 2014 6:43pm #UserID: 6352 Posts: 136 View All Jenny's Edible Fruit Trees |

Don says... Nice one, ill dig that big one out and give you some bucks for it if you havnt chopped it out already. Littlest cedar bay seed died and big one still same size, no change. The seeds of mine havnt sprouted above soil either, dug some up and some seeds just getting nodules on outside for roots so they are very slow. | About the Author Don browns plains 29th September 2014 7:14pm #UserID: 9961 Posts: 26 View All Don 's Edible Fruit Trees |
