VF says... Hey Nicg, they're commonly found at the big hardware chain nurseries like M10, Bunnings , Masters. You can usually spot both grafted and seedling varieties, with Birdwood being the main propogator of the grafted ones. I should add, White Goose is the one I see most - not grown by Daleys.

sternus1 says... Boris since you're on the boards, is there any reason I can't mulch potted blueberries with Pine Chips? I'm getting conflicting advice about this, I can't see how it would be a problem since they like acid soil.

Tommoz says... Is grafting a feijoa scion manageable? Maybe I could graft Nazematze or some other onto my Unique. But I still want the dwarfing characteristics of Unique.	About the Author Tommoz Dural 28th January 2014 12:48am #UserID: 7219 Posts: 340 View All Tommoz's Edible Fruit Trees
