Liz says... Hi Kath, WOW - it does sound like you've got a good lot of stuff growing! Which apples are you growing? This might be a bit cheeky, but would you be interested in selling some babaco cuttings? (...maybe when you're cutting them back?) :-) ...I work in Naval Base, so I'm just "around the corner". I've got figs, olives, plums, apricots, lemons and a prickly pear from the previous owner of my place (previously owned by Italians!)in Thornlie. There was also a loquat and a peach, but sadly the termites got them. I have since planted a red passionfruit, asparagus, mandarin, a kaffir lime and a couple of oranges, and I've got apples, a nectarine, a replacement peach, a couple of avocadoes, a couple of mangoes, a custard apple, a black sapote, Olham's sweet-shoot bamboo, a macadamia, an ice-cream bean, some arrowroot, a black and a banana passionfruit and an almond (...I think that's it...) waiting to be planted... a grumichama and a couple of pears on order from Daleys, and some raspberries, strawberries and a guava on order from Diggers... I hope I've judged the space ok!!! :-) Cheers, Liz | About the Author Liz Perth 4th May 2009 3:36pm #UserID: 1639 Posts: 36 View All Liz's Edible Fruit Trees |

Kath says... . Hi Liz, my apples are Gala,Jonathon,Pink Lady & Granny Smith. I have also just put in a Anna & am getting a Dorsett Golden for Mother's Day. Re the babaco cuttings-I have only cut it back once & the top rotted but if it ever gets big enough to take cuttings you are more than welcome. You have a great mix of fruit-will wait to hear from you re the bananas-like I said-I don't know what type they are-probably not Goldfinger as I got the original sucker over five years ago but it's yours if you want it.

EalaBan says... Hi Jon M, I used to work with someone who had one growing in a greenhouse. Don't recall her ever mentioning a successful harvest, however, more just successful in keeping it alive. I have been thinking about growing one in my bathroom which has a north-facing window and gets pretty hot and humid. | About the Author 3 8th October 2012 4:28pm #UserID: 2533 Posts: 54 View All 3's Edible Fruit Trees |

Liz says... update - here's the lists of what the members of the Rare Fruit Club of WA are growing: http://www.rarefruitclub.org.au/Level2/Inter.htm From memory, people are successfully growing quite a few things that the Ag Dept says aren't worth bothering with... :-) | About the Author Liz Perth (Thornlie) 17th December 2015 1:19pm #UserID: 1639 Posts: 36 View All Liz's Edible Fruit Trees |
