Phil@Tyalgum starts with ... I just had the pleasure of meeting the famous Jantina and her husband Geoff over lunch on their way back from Japan. What a delight to finally catch up with such an amazingly generous, knowledgable and effervescent lady, a real bonus to cross paths with another member from the forum. Now a mad dash for them to get to Daleys before it closes for the day. | About the Author TyalgumPhil Murwillumbah 20th October 2011 2:42pm #UserID: 960 Posts: 1377 View All TyalgumPhil's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... Phil, I don't think you need the roots. As long as you get some of the corm it should grow. I can see you running outside and turning the compost heap inside out looking for your blue java corms. When you find them, cut all the top growth off and just plant the corm ball or what's left of it, or better still, send them to mwaa. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 21st October 2011 3:58pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Thankyou for that lovely post Phil, the generosity has been all yours though. We had a beautiful lunch, great company and a guided tour of a lovely garden.What more could a person want? All plants made it home safely and about half are in the ground already. It took us quite a while to get to Daleys and it was closing time by the time we got there, but they let us in anyway (guess they didn't want to have a grown woman sitting by their gate sobbing) and I quickly swooped up and down the rows with a trolley getting treasures. Managed to get an Emma canistel Phil and very glad I did because the canistel fruit I got from FruitWorld was delicious. Never tasted one before. If anyone gets the chance to visit another forum member I can highly recommend it. I have now visited Phil, Jason from Portland, Violet Cactus, Jujubeforsale, J,Rowen from Casterton and Peter from Adelaide as well as having email contact with a few and without exception the experiences have all been very positive and all have been very generous with knowledge and plant material or seeds. Jason , Rowan and Nick have visited here which has been most enjoyable and anyone else who would like to visit is very welcome. So go for it M Nash, you'll have a great time. | About the Author Jantina Mt Gambier 24th October 2011 7:09pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... I worked in Grafton this morning and came back to Brisbane via Daley's then up through Kyogle Rd to Murwillumbah. What a crazy and fantastic drive! Anyhow, passing alot of the towns I remembered a lot of forumites live there. Next time i'll have to make a little more time to visit. Visiting Daley's is always fantastic. They have many more trees than they list on the site, so often the goodies you have been waiting for are actually waiting there for you! | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 2nd November 2011 9:37pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |

Speedy says... I like this thread, it's fun meeting people for the first time you already sort of 'know' from internet. adds more of a human element to it. I met Jujubesforsale a couple of years ago, and communicated with Amanda via email etc. It's exciting to find such enthusiastic ppl with interests in common. There is a limit to communications via internet forum.. meeting face to face fills the gaps. Gotta agree with you Phil@Tyalgum, it's nice country around there (and the drive over the ridge), I used to live at Pumpenbil for a while. | About the Author Speedy Nthn Vic. 3rd November 2011 9:09am #UserID: 2305 Posts: 250 View All Speedy's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Just had a lovely visit from that guru of avocadoes/white sapotes/cherimoya. He kindly grafted the Rainbow/Pike and Dade cuttings I was generously given at the Rare Fruit Society meeting on Tues (where I saw Peter from Adelaide).Thankyou Jason. And he also pointed out TAAA DAAA that my cherimoya was covered in BUDS (I hadn't noticed) so I'm very happy. Phil and J , Rainbow grafting material will come your way in due time. Peter, your sapote seeds are here now and I have your address so will post them to you. | About the Author Jantina Mt Gambier 19th November 2011 9:43pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |
Brad says... awesome! wish he'd come to perth... as a grafting beginner i know avos aren't the best choice but there was a seedling in the vegie patch when we moved in... first load of grafts me and a nurseryman did didn't take (wurz under fuerte) (wedge and chip buds), so tried some more friday night (wurz and rincon). this time I went with side veneer. cross fingers for them! | About the Author Brad2 G Hill, Perth 20th November 2011 11:56am #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda-leschenault says... I was lucky enough to be able to visit Mike and his garden in Cairns today :o) A great experience for this sandgroper that doesn't get to see many unusual tropical fruit trees very often…it was way above my head but inspiring nonetheless! And I ate canistel for the very first time…that was a real treat… Thank you so much Mike :) (havne't got my password here in Cairns - but it's the 2309 amanda ) | About the Author amandaleschenault1 7th September 2013 9:48pm #UserID: 8197 Posts: 3 View All amandaleschenault1's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda-leschenault says... I dunno Mike - I always wanted to know what Naranjilla tasted like too…brrr - it's sour stuff hey..? Reminds me of the time I tried Kei apple…and at least I can cross these off my lust-list…haha… It's really strange to finally meet another forumite tho I think…? for e.g.: I imaged you as being much older for some reason Mike…? (maybe your wealth of knowledge..or maybe u just 'sound' very grown-up on here…lol..) | About the Author amandaleschenault1 10th September 2013 9:59am #UserID: 8197 Posts: 3 View All amandaleschenault1's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... I only grow one for ornamental value, they are a beautiful looking shrub, with a deep purple suede covering the very large leaves. It is loaded in ripe fruit now. Thanks to Mike, I also have a white cv as well. I don't know if it's a different cv, or just a variation of the one species, but they are visually very different. | About the Author JohnMc1 10th September 2013 6:25pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Brendan says... Did you fly up to Cairns amanda? 'Cause if you drove up and didn't call in to see me, I'd be very disappointed! We could've had bananas, bush lemons, bananas, bush lemons, mulberries, pumpkin, tomatoes, garlic,& lettuce. Then we could have a wood-chopping competition (that's a ton of fun!:-) See what you missed out on :-) LOL After all that, we could've slipped down to the Leap Hotel, and had a 'counterie', and a couple of cool drinks:) | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 11th September 2013 8:26am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |
