Scott G says... I had a few bushes when I lived in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The soil was great and there was a lot more rain than here. The bushes were 2.5m tall by 1m wide. They must've been 8 years old at least. Each bush only produced about a dozen berries per year! At the moment I have one that has been in the ground for 4 years and has produced a meagre total of about 10 fruits. But it gets loads of flowers that drop. It was about 1m tall when I got it and now is about 2m tall by 60cm wide. That's not that much growth for 4 years, is it? Can anyone that has a bush producing a good crop describe the bush and its soil and water etc. I am going to make an effort to get it to fruit if it can be done. If there is nothing I can do then the bush will be ripped out! | About the Author Scott G The Gold Coast 6th March 2008 12:58pm #UserID: 44 Posts: 117 View All Scott G's Edible Fruit Trees |

Leona says... I bought my tree several months ago. It is about 1.5metres high. When I bought it, it was not fruiting, although some of the others, the same size, at the nursery were. I chose mine because it was not. HOpefully, I will get a stronger tree as a result of it not fruiting early, and get more fruit later. I am keeping mine in a pot. | About the Author Perth 7th March 2008 8:32am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
John says... Guys I have the same problems with all of my guavas at the moment. Lots of flowers and no fruit. But the last season was extremly windy and hot. The bees dont like these conditions and wont work in them. What I want to know about these trees is; what is the requirements in temps to get these flowers to set. Also will hand polinating help at all. | About the Author John10 SB South Australia 7th March 2008 10:25am #UserID: 549 Posts: 127 View All John10's Edible Fruit Trees |
