Correy says... Hi Dagmar, The most popular of the vines that are suitable for Brisbane is the dragon fruit vine. If you have a palm tree I would plant it around that and let it grow up it. The easiest vine to grow in Brisbane would have to be the passionfruit vine. I would get a grafted one. Passionfruit spring up everywhere in Brisbane and if you were to plant one now it would take over a fence and start giving you fruit very soon. I included a picture of my grafted passionfruit which is only a couple of months old. I am trying a kiwi fruit vine in Brisbane which has a male and female grafted onto the same rootstock. It hasn't seen a spring yet so it is quite dormant at the moment. Here are a list of Brambles Vines and Climbers As for blueberries I am growing a few in pots and as you can see from my picture I am getting a few ripening. Since we don't have the chill hours in Brisbane like in Stanthorpe you will need to go with a tropical apple tree - However it looks like the pinkabelle apple tree is extremely popular at the moment because it is a dwarf variety and I would be interested to know if we get enough chill hours in Brisbane to get some apples. Here is a list of the most popular fruit trees for QLD. Picture 1: Blueberries Picture 2: Passionfruit Vine Picture 3: Dragon Fruit Vine

Dagmar says... Correy, thank you for all your information. Passion fruit I have already, grow beautifully; I have had some problems though that is 2 month ago as they haven’t had any flowers but Sulphate of Potash seems to work well as there are flowers everywhere now. I bought the Pinkabelle apple, Davidson Plum Jerseyana, Grape – Black Muscat, Lime – Kaffir, Mandarin - Imperial; if I have any fruits, here in Brisbane, let you know. Thanks again for your help.

Diana says... Hi Dagmar, I have lots of vines (small back yard with fences, also some over archways). Passionfruit and grapes and dragonfruit are great. One of my favorites is wing yam / African yam with heart-shaped leaves that start pink/ purple and go bright green- very lush and gorgeous, and a large edible tuber. I bought one tuber and I have propagated it over lots of fence. Sweet potato scrambles up fences very well too.
