Carl76 says... Should be around now. The following is an excerpt of an article I came across. Grown on farm in the Traprock area west of Stanthorpe. Queen Garnet plums when ripe are as richly coloured on the inside as they are on the outside and have a firm texture, rich sweet flavour and drip with luscious juice. The trees are quite small so that all fruit can be picked by hand without the need for ladders. | About the Author Carl76 Wilston 4051 15th February 2015 12:10pm #UserID: 9276 Posts: 181 View All Carl76's Edible Fruit Trees |

Markmelb says... Your correct - only Rat studies as yet and none on obese humans - I would grow one as they are an ideal home garden size. Similar to a ballerina apple style - Im going to grow a seedling from one and graft onto a plantnet dwarf satsuma or similar rootstock plant as well as to my 8 graft pluot that ive been eating different plums for 2 months already - mariposa finishing as santa rosa almost ready and purple gage still green as starting to show a purple bloom. | About the Author Markmelb MT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 16th February 2015 10:32am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jeanette says... I also saw the Landline program today. Only time will tell if the anti-obesity results on humans work well. It certainly looked very promising. I would love to grow a tree in my garden as soon as they become available for the home garden. The Queen Garnet plum looks very similar to the Blood Plum which also had purple/dark red skin and dark red flesh. I haven't seen it for sale for a few years. I wonder if indeed it was one of the species used in the creation of the Queen Garnet?? Please keep me updated with any new information and particularly where I can buy a tree for planting in my garden. Wouldn't it be wonderful if all they are saying a out it is true!

Juneli says... It says on one website that the chill requirement for these plums is around 600 hrs. I find it hard to believe that a Japanese Plum would be that high?Maybe they are of European origin. Does anybody know any facts about their parentage? I can't see trees being available for a few years yet though due to patency rights. | About the Author Juneli Mackay 17th February 2015 1:57pm #UserID: 1061 Posts: 74 View All Juneli's Edible Fruit Trees |

Peter1 says... I also watched Landline about this new plum "Queen Garnett", purchased couple of kgs from Woolworths (Logan Hyperdome)at $4.95 kg. They taste very nice, deep purple colour all way through. I am thinking about growing this plum tree by seed (Pit). Does anyone know what would be the best method of growing this tree from seed? I've done a few google searches but looks a bit ify. Any advice is welcome.

jakfruit etiquette says... Peter1 says... "I've done a few google searches but looks a bit ify." Hi, What aspect is that ? Seed should germinate well after correct cold stratification. You could probably get a seedling to fruit in 5 years. Not sure if you will get an exact QG type from seed, if its already a hybrid plus fair chance its crossed again via the pollinator. But that can apply to a lot of stonefruit, and their seedlings are often close to the parent. ps if you grow a batch of seedlings, you may work out what is a likely pollinator hybrid. Tried some QG fruit today, very impressed, not a blood plum, in its own new category. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette vic 21st February 2015 2:16pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |

Juneli says... I did read it was around 600-700 chill hours but that sounds excessive for a Japanese Plum. Most are around 350-450 hours. Here in Mackay with very little chill hours I am getting bucket loads of plums off Gulf Gold which is 350 hours. Also got some plums off Satsuma which is rated about the same. | About the Author Juneli Mackay 23rd February 2015 10:48am #UserID: 1061 Posts: 74 View All Juneli's Edible Fruit Trees |

Juneli says... Congratulations Markmelb on your seedlings. I had two come up but one was disfigured, it had no leaves and died. The other one is ploughing ahead and has nine leaves now plus the original two. Seems to be a very sturdy plum which is good.

Juneli says... Hi Trudy! Sorry to inform you but you can't buy a Queen Garnet Plum Tree as the plant rights are owned by the Queensland Government and they collect the royalties from the sale of the fruit. Licences are granted to fruit growers to grow the fruit trees for the government. As from late November,Woolworths will be stocking bottles of fruit nectar in their produce department for around $5 per 250 mls. They also said the fruit powder should be available about that time as well. | About the Author Juneli Mackay 17th October 2015 3:38pm #UserID: 1061 Posts: 74 View All Juneli's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ayebaresan says... Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone knew when the Queensland Garnett plums might be available in 2016. I enjoyed them so much the last couple of years and I was interested in how the season has gone for growers. If somebody knew when they were becoming available to buy at my local greengrocer that would be absolutely fabulous. Kind regards, Nick - Toowoomba

Peter1 says... They will be avsilable, probably only through Woolworths as they have a contract. Similar to last year. Only a short window of supply. As for health properties....not that long ago everyone thought the world was flat and you would fall off.... There will always be skeptics to everything even if its staring them in the face. I'm neither a promoter, advocate or denialer for Queen Garnett, They taste good, and not cheap. The old saying, you get what you pay for. At the end of the day, diet (eat in moderation)and exercise is the key to good health, weather your fat, skinny, thin, proportional built or out of proportion. As one contributor said, science is behind this one. Qld DPI would not be funding it in partnership with one other entity if there was no benefit or reward for them.

Peter1 says... Hi HughM, Thanks for that info. I can imagine demand will be high for that plum. I've had some last year and must admit it was one of the better plums I've tasted in a long time. Will the juice be available at Woollies about that time? I am assuming the juice would be from plums that may not be good enough for shelf sale. I'd be happy to pay the cost of the juice if its the real thing. I'll be waiting for the fruit to hit the shelves.

Markmelb says... QGP may not be available to the home gardener for probably a few years or maybe never as is patented and has royalties on crop sales too - just put a few seeds into a few pots and you will end up with what i have produced in a year - its more a fun thing if you end up with the same black plum in a couple years - graft what you grow to a young Mariposa or Plumcot - im sure QGP will flower around same time - have patients and live long :) | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 25th January 2016 9:48am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery says... At Daleys we did try really hard to get the go ahead to use their propagation materials for the Queen Garnet plum tree. We do believe that the home backyard is not in competition with the large orchards that grow them. If anything a handful of people growing them in their backyards would mean that we as Australians have a connection both to the fruit and the trees that were developed here. This would work in everyones favour and be a very positive outcome. We did suggest we could limit them to 1 per person or address so that it isn't possible for someone to grow them commercially. However currently the plum trees are only to be used by registered growers. You can of course grow them from seed however a seedling selection will have different health properties, Chill requirements, fruit size, cropping habit and much more. To be technical you couldn't call this a Queen Garnet plum as it is totally different variety or it's own genetically unique plum tree. | About the Author Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery 36 Daleys Lane, Geneva via Kyogle, NSW 2474 25th January 2016 10:07am #UserID: 5172 Posts: 80 View All Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... Jakki, the only way to grow Queen Garnet is from seeds, even though may not be the same as parent. Are the fruit available in the supermarkets there? They are in season now but it's very short and I have been buying the fruit for the past 2 weeks already. If the stores don't have them there, we could possibly send you a few seeds but please advise if seeds or fruit are allowed to be sent to Tas. Cheers.

HughM says... Regarding seedling propagation - please note that, while this is not prohibited under the PBR Act, the seedlings will not be true-to-type. It is likely that, if you plant 3 seeds, the resulting fruit from the trees will all be very different for each. Also, it is an offence under the Act to apply the name Queen Garnet to anything other than a clone of the real thing. | About the Author HughM Tennyson 4th February 2016 5:35am #UserID: 13101 Posts: 6 View All HughM's Edible Fruit Trees |

Ayebaresan says... Hi Peter1, My local Greengrocer Betros Bros sells the Garnett juice (I live in Toowoomba, Queensland). But you can order the juice online from http://www.nutrafruit.com.au/products.html I'm unsure if you buy it in small quantities or if you have to buy it in bulk from the online nutrafruit store. But I hope that helps. Nick

Joan says... I don't get it... this article says that Nutrafruit has sent budwood overseas to meet demand, surely, selling budwood or grafted trees to Aussie home gardeners won't make a big dent on the demand for the plums: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-14/antioxidant-rich-plum-to-fight-obesity/6094914 | About the Author Joan Sydney 22nd February 2016 10:30pm #UserID: 6065 Posts: 6 View All Joan's Edible Fruit Trees |

HughM says... Hi Joan - it is about maintaining the security of the IP. Budwood has only gone to a few licensed growers overseas, as it has in Australia. If trees are sold to home gardeners, the security of the IP is lost as there is no way of knowing who cuts wood from those home garden trees to propagate additional trees. | About the Author HughM Tennyson 23rd February 2016 12:00pm #UserID: 13101 Posts: 6 View All HughM's Edible Fruit Trees |

Mrs Blossom says... I was watching ABC Landland today 6 March 2016 & at last they are doing research using real people, the person stated clearly that 8 weeks in a rats life is about equivalent to 2 years human, so it will be while before they get the full results, but already seeing good results with Blood Pressure. Plus I guess the rats are in a controlled encased environment, whether humans can stick to it as strictly over a longer period is debatable. But what also came out of this is the food chemical that is doing good is also found in other foods, so perhaps a variety of dark purple foods such as carrots, beets, berries these plus any other healthy foods with same food chemical will be the way to go. I am also keen to grow a Q G Plum-tree, but as I'm too old to see them fruit enough for benefits I think, I may have to just buy those already on fruit stalls, or juices etc.. | About the Author Mrs Blossom Hackham West 6th March 2016 2:12pm #UserID: 13457 Posts: 1 View All Mrs Blossom's Edible Fruit Trees |

SallyA says... The QG season is over unfortunately, the Juice is still available. A LIST OF SUPPPLIERS in each state is available on the Nutrafruit web site. Cick on News and it will show you the Fruiters that normally stock the fruit. You can buy the Juice direct from Nutrafruit or your Fruiter should be able to get it in, my store sells it for $5.99 for a 250ml bottle, a bit expensive. As it's such a short season, can we really get the purported benefits when we eat the plums for 2 1/2 mths ? Im not sure how long the juice will be available for ?? To get the benefits I think one would have to take the QG Plum Probiotic Powder when the fruit and juice are out of season ?? As Chris mentioned - 16th Feb 2015 ... It's not the only fruit containing anthocyanins. Sure it may be higher than others, but there is plenty in other fruits to obtain similar health benefits.

CH says... In anticipation of attempting to (hopefully) try and grow one of these from a seed for a bit of fun, could someone please give me an idea of the best way to try and do this? From what I gather from above putting the seeds into the fridge for a period of time is required? Also, anybody from Melbourne know when or where these will be available to be purchased? | About the Author CH Melbourne 27th October 2016 6:58pm #UserID: 22767 Posts: 25 View All CH's Edible Fruit Trees |

Linton says... I planted some Queen Garnet seeds straight from the fruit about 18 months ago but none of them ever germinated. I suspect the reason might be that they require some cold stratification for a few months in the fridge first. They are usually available from Woolies (Safeway) and the local fruit shop over Summer. Whereabouts in Melbourne are you located? | About the Author Linton NOBLE PARK,3174,VIC 29th October 2016 1:21pm #UserID: 2286 Posts: 994 View All Linton's Edible Fruit Trees |

CH says... Thank you for your response Linton, I remembered reading on here that putting them in the fridge would help but I wasn't sure if it was necessary. I was hoping someone in the know might be able to tell me how long they need to be in the fridge for, if you need to take the seed kernel out from the stone (I'm assuming you do!), if you need to dry the kernel out before putting it in the fridge. Really basic things but I don't know them and if it's the difference between them germinating or not I don't mind looking a bit foolish :) I live in Box Hill. I think I left it a bit late last year to get them and so missed out.

ExoticFruitLover says... Hi Guys just got first lot of QG plums from a fruit shop at Robina Town Centre on the Gold Coast. But $18.95 per kg 😱😱 but I still had to buy some hopefully they will come down in price in the coming weeks. I'll try my luck and plant some seeds. I know they won't be try to type but I'll just see what I get.

Markmelb says... Hi EFL - I grafted 4 scions from seedling - they are all growing great and could and im not sure as yet - have flowers and maybe fruit next year - havnt managed to see any fruiting buds yet but will keep you posted - Mariposas are almost size of my fist and Santa Rosas not far behind and ripening now. Huge Dagens and bigger Purple Gages too for some reason than last year. | About the Author Markmelb MOUNT WAVERLEY,3149,VIC 2nd February 2017 11:03am #UserID: 7785 Posts: 1192 View All Markmelb's Edible Fruit Trees |

Joan says... Hi CH, I did nothing but eat the plums and stuck the seeds in pots, haha! I left them outdoors and let the winter break their dormancy naturally. I had about a dozen seeds, and more than half germinated. But then they started dying off at various times and I'm left with this strong seedling and a couple of sorry looking ones.

Markmelb says... Result of the QG Seedling experiment - look for yourself - Have them bagged and found one had fallen caught on a twig - Tastes sweet off the tree and seems as dark at the CV - is the majority of the antioxidant resveratrol in the skin? I still have a second seedling I havnt grafted just yet - will do this winter.

Edward3 says... Markmelb, I am very surprised that you got flowers and then fruit on the graft of QG scion which came from a seedling only the previous year. I always thought that the scion would need to come from a mature tree in order to produce flowers straight away, and so did not see any point in grafting a young seedling scion onto a rootstock. But your experience seems to disprove that. Very interesting indeed. As for growing QG from seed, I took a seed straight after eating the plum, cracked it open carefully using a macadamia nut cracker to avoid damage, and planted it in potting mix. It sprouted fairly quickly, so it doesn't seem to require cold stfratification. | About the Author Edward3 CARLINGFORD,2118,NSW 12th May 2021 8:33pm #UserID: 1655 Posts: 172 View All Edward3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Shortyboyo says... Hi ivepeters, just wondering how this is going? Did you get any fruit in the summer? I have a couple of QC seedlings growing, been about 4 months exactly and they're looking pretty good. Just as a little experiment I decided to grow one hydroponically (Kratky method) and one semi-hydropnically (pumice and zeolite). The hydroponic one is 65cm tall already and the Semi-hydrooonic one is 49cm tall.

jakfruit etiquette says... quote Markmelb, I am very surprised that you got flowers and then fruit on the graft of QG scion which came from a seedling only the previous year. One method to induce flowering is cincturing, removing a thin ring of bark to restrict sap flow. It has also been suggested that the graft union itself could act as a permanent cincture to some extent, and that grafting of mature wood is the main, but not the only reason that grafted trees flower early. Inverted ring grafting on a seedling is also suggested to result in early flowering, again another permanent cincture technique. | About the Author jakfruit etiquette MERBEIN,3505,VIC 22nd July 2022 9:53pm #UserID: 5133 Posts: 915 View All jakfruit etiquette's Edible Fruit Trees |
