Lisa starts with ... I live in the Mid Blue Mountains and have a stretch of about 15 metres (north facing) where I would like to plant a hedge with something Edible however it must be hardy and frost tolerant and have a maximum growth of 4-5 metres or be able to be kept that tall with trimming. I did a search and some previous suggestions were Feijoa and Grumichama. Does anyone else have some suggestions? | About the Author Lisa Blue Mountains NSW 22nd September 2009 1:42pm #UserID: 2058 Posts: 18 View All Lisa's Edible Fruit Trees |
John says... Hi Lisa feijoas make an excelent fruiting hedge are easy to keep and fairly hardy. What altitude are you at and how cold does it get? I grew up in the north island of new zealand and there are heaps there. We had occasional frosts but no snow. I grow a feijoa in adelaide and it does real well. | About the Author John27 Adelaide 22nd September 2009 9:39pm #UserID: 2068 Posts: 5 View All John27's Edible Fruit Trees |

Lisa says... John...Not sure of the altitude, I will have to check. We do get frosts and it has been known to have the occaisional snow ( I have only ever seen sleet). Hi Ellen... I don't even have all of mine listed yet, I need to update MyEdibles page. We are huge Blueberry fans. I purchased a couple from Daleys, a couple from Diggers, 2 from Bunnings and the others from Emily HIll Farm- they post. | About the Author Lisa Blue Mountains NSW 23rd September 2009 4:40pm #UserID: 2058 Posts: 18 View All Lisa's Edible Fruit Trees |
