justjuice starts with ... I thought it might be useful to have a list of "fast fruit" in one place. I'm impatient, and after just buying a new house I want to get fruit ASAP, while I'm waiting for the standard 5 years for "normal" fruit to bear. So far I've found the following, but if anyone has experience with fast fruiters please add it here. (I would define a fast fruiter as a fruiting plant that produces in less than 3 years), Thanks!

amanda says... Hi Michael - sorry have been away - but while I was away the hot easterlies blew the #@@* out of my garden and the flowers have fallen off!? there is just a naked stalk left. I hope this is not going to be a future problem for the tree producing fruit. I will be sure to take a pic for u if they produce anymore tho' I would just leave them and see what happens Michael - if they turn out t be flowrs then you can snip them off if u want. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

amanda says... It does look good MaryT! Maybe it's a seedling? Someone here may know how long they take to fruit? I got my 2 via Daleys and they have a definite grafting 'scar' (?) on the trunk. I have had them for 2yrs - but they may have been 1 or 2 yrs old when I purchased them. They are Guy Sams. Like most of my sub tropicals - I have to water them with rain water as our scheme water is too saline. The first flowers are opening up now. As they are in tree sacks in the shade house - I am not sure how pollination will go...(although it seems to happen in there somehow!?) They very nearly died out in my orchard - too hot and windy by far, and too salty. When I dug them up - they had a very large but shallow root system - it was very fine and fibrous and looked like a big mat...so I guess that's a good clue - they probably dry out easily and need a nice nutrituous mulch..? I am also using blood and bone on all of my sub tropicals now, along with Seasol. I just had too many problems with salt-burning when I used other stuff. So far even my jaboticabas are happy with this (and that's really saying something - cos' they are the most sensitive/fussy plant I have..!?) If I was more organised I would make my own leaf-litter mulch for my sub tropicals...as it was I splurged on some sphagmum (spelling?) moss instead. They seem to like this!? :D I don't know that much more about them MaryT. | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.

MaryT says... OK Amanda, I'm over it. I mean I don't care if my tree is a seedling and will take longer to fruit. Think: you and I are both seedling grown; are we not more interesting than clones (if they are indeed cloning humans). How boring would life on earth be if it is inhabited by duplicates only? There, I feel better now:) | About the Author MaryT Sydney 9th October 2011 2:36pm #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |
