wazzamcg says... I'm from Brisbane's south-side. I ripped up my normal sized backyard and have put in the following on dwarfing rootstock - some were planted together due to limited space, yet trying to get maximum fruit yields throughout the seasons; Lime - Tahitian on flying dragon rootstock Orange - Valencia on flying dragon rootstock (seedless) Orange - Washington Naval on flying dragon rootstock (seedless) The oranges were planted side by side (within 1 foot) Mandarin - Emperor on flying dragon rootstock Mandarin - Imperial on flying dragon rootstock The oranges were planted side by side (within 1 foot) Other things that suit the dwarf theme are; Mango - Keitt, I planted two of them. Raspberry - Heritage Blue Berry - Sharp Blue The next 2 plants I suggest need to be planned out well - though not true dwarfs; Bisexual red fleshed Papaya - I have three ;-) Avocado - I have a Sharwill and a Pickerton Apple Trees - Pinkabelle, Fuji and Sundowner on M26 dwarfing rootstock. Your location for each needs to be considered for sunlight and the shade they give out. I was advised to give each plant a 2.5 metre radius between each dwarf for air circulation. I allowed for 1.25 ~ 1.5 metre off a 6ft fence line. I have also planted out some vines along the fence line; 1 @ male kiwi fruit to 3 females. 3 @ grapes, sultana, mendinee and crimson (all 3 are seedless) I'm yet to put in some passion-fruit. Kath from Daley's will be a great resource for you as well as this forum. Read lots before going ahead and plan well. I planted what the family will eat in our climate, not what will grow in our climate. I don't have room for lady finger banana's ;-( not unless I get the missus to move the clothes line - I have a plan for that ;-) | About the Author wazzamcg Southside Brisbane QLD 8th December 2010 10:08pm #UserID: 4149 Posts: 101 View All wazzamcg's Edible Fruit Trees |

Diana says... Hi Alex, have a look at the 'my edibles' section and search for brisbane gardens. I have found that kiwi fruit is unsuitable for our climate. The least trouble and quickly productive plants are pawpaws, passionfruit, heritage raspberries, local strawberries (e.g Redlands joy or Maroochy flame), subtropical plums (e.g. gulf ruby and gulf gold), subtropical grapes (e.g. Carolina black rose), guavas, mulberries and lemons. A large proportion of Brisbane gardens have a few pawpaws against a wall, a passionfruit vine and often a mango. All of these can be grown in quite small areas and kept pruned. Bananas, dragonfruit, macadamias, limes, oranges, mandarins, pummelos, naranjillas, oranges, mangoes, subtropical apples, starfruit, lychees, jaboticabas, wampis, custard apples, chocolate pudding fruit, white sapotes, and pomegranates also grow well, but take longer to get any fruit.
