snottiegobble starts with ... I have been growing green chokos successfully for 2 seasons & got my original seed choko from a farmers market, but today in a Salvo`s store there were a number of chocos for sale that I have never seen before! A big 20c meant I could bring one home & compare it to my own! In the photo on the left my own full grown typical fruit wrinkles an all! On the right is this smooth skinned monster that feels more like an apple! It is already producing a sprout to begin a new vine. Anyone familiar with this variety?

amanda says... Hey Julie - we are moving to Leschenault :) When we get there (2 months) I will post some pics...(don't want to jinx all the house settlements..) The house already has a small orchard, veg patch and good bore water (phew!) and double the rainfall..! And the property is all organic (same owner for 30yrs) so I am very happy about that... | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 25th June 2012 9:31am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Gee thanks MaryT...that's a really nice thing to say :) Here is a sneak peek at part of the garden - so different to here!? lol.. Will be a little colder so not sure which of my subtropicals will be happy or not - but no frost - so that's helpful. I am hoping to get a little of both worlds - with maybe some low chill cherries or cane berries ;-) It will be exciting to be able to shop for fruit trees etc again! I am going to give jackfruit a try there (as it grows in Perth - and this only 1.5hrs south 150kms)..?

amanda says... Lol...it's sand Brendan! But I know what to do with it now ;-) The owner has done a good job tho and I saw lots of worm castings around. A bit of work to do - too many non-food producing plants I reckon!? They are all bush blocks in this area - so lots of gum trees...a fire would be a problem Brendan. Some issues that are new to me as a gardener that I will need to learn about - including possums..! :-O But not starting from scratch again thankfully...I don't think I could do that again..eek! So grateful this garden (Gero one) won't be going under the developers bulldozer tho... :) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 26th June 2012 9:16am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... Cool - thanks SG :) And thanks for nice words too guys. I am a bit sad at leaving all my babies (plants) behind after watching them grow from seed and tubestocks...you get to know every little thing about them - each pruning cut and the bruises along the way... This year has been very exciting here as the trees have become big enough that most have birds nests in them. Nothing better than starting the day with lots of birdsong... :) But I am happy that we have left this patch in better shape than when we found it - and that was the whole idea ;) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. 400km north of Perth. 27th June 2012 9:26am #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... SG that's not a choko, that's a boulder! Has anyone tasted one yet? I like them sliced and stir fried; sweet and crunchy. A good article on choko: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/08/28/1062050612273.html | About the Author MaryT Sydney 3rd September 2012 9:07am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |
