annap1 says... Hi Lissa, thanks for your thoughts. The person who gave it to me remarked that a similar piece from the same plant, given to someone else at the same time, had several branches of new growth... the only reason I could figure my piece hadn't grown was that it was upside down :- I have planted it in a good mix with sand, but it still doesn't have any shoots, so something is slowing it down. | About the Author annap1 CHINDERAH,2487,NSW 28th March 2017 12:35pm #UserID: 15183 Posts: 5 View All annap1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lissa says... Hi Annap. Every garden has it's own micro climate. How is the other piece planted? Is it in a pot, in the ground, in the sun? Perhaps it has something to do with where the cutting was taken from on the parent plant. This is an almost indestructible plant. Yours WILL shoot eventually :) I found mine did best when planted on an east facing fence - having said that, many of the fruit ended up on the neighbours side of that fence! BTW mine weren't grown in any special mix. They were propped upright along the wooden fence in regular old garden soil a bit on the clay side. Water came when it rained and they did great. | About the Author Lissa Strathpine 28th March 2017 7:14pm #UserID: 3797 Posts: 189 View All Lissa's Edible Fruit Trees |
