Jim starts with ... Damn those people, they screwed me on both my daleys and diggers orders. Looks like us sandgropers are going to have to source a number of things such as gauvas, jaboticaba etc elsewhere due to a new Myrtle rust outbreak, which will be in place for the foreseeable future. I don't see how they can put the state's economy and environment ahead of my edible garden. | About the Author electra Fremantle 10th May 2010 12:59pm #UserID: 3242 Posts: 112 View All electra's Edible Fruit Trees |

amanda says... What a major bummer!! there goes grummichamas etc too? Looks like TASS1 n Wandilla will do a roaring trade?? Rev - u are not far off the mark I reckon. WA soils are being raped n pillaged - and most of the biomass goes o/seas. Instead of fixing the salinity problems - we just engineer wheat etc, to cope with it = a band-aid. You would not believe the state of the natural environment north of here - due to goats. Why? cos' goat is the most widely eaten meat in the world and the feral goats are very popular in the live meat trade. There is actually a feral goat "permissable limit" per acre and they (pastoralists) are waaay in excess of this - AgWA seems to turn a blind eye. I try not to "rant" on this forum - but I have driven the road from Carnarvon to Geraldton so many times and seen the damage over a number of years - and it is just appalling. We have had to drive 20km/hr in a 110 zone cos' the dust was so bad - there is no ground cover left at all and the bushes are naked from the ground up to about 1.5 m. It's just crazy. Ok - off my soap box now... :-))) | About the Author amanda19 Geraldton. WA 10th May 2010 9:06pm #UserID: 2309 Posts: 4607 View All amanda19's Edible Fruit Trees |

snottiegobble says... Hell Amanda no wonder youre heading down south! I thought before coming here the first time( WA) how isolated. Then I realised once here ( for a holiday) we dont need the East states or anywhere else for that matter. Now as a resident there is that feeling of isolation due only to quarantine! How bloody ridiculous! | About the Author snottiegobble bunbury 10th May 2010 10:50pm #UserID: 3468 Posts: 1458 View All snottiegobble's Edible Fruit Trees |

John Mc says... ooooh, the cherry of the Rio Grande has eluded me for too long now. Daleys list them in dribs and drabs, and sell out as they list them. Kath tells me none will be available for 12 months. I noticed that one of the competition from Mullumbimby has them listed so might have to get one from there, unfortunately. | About the Author JohnMc1 11th May 2010 6:41pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Its over 3hrs from here, but I had work in Lismore, so made a quick dash out there. It is fantastic and I tried not to buy everything I wanted for the protection of my bank balance, though Im regretting it a little now. I only spent half an hour, but it could have been alot more. If you do decide to make the drive, make sure you visit the other nursery a few ks up the road, as between the two, you're pretty much assured of getting everything you could want. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 5th June 2010 10:10pm #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
