Violet_Cactus says... Seems like just about everything has the 'potential to become a weed' these days... even our native species :( http://www.weedsbluemountains.org.au/cootamundra_wattle.asp I've had a hard time persuading my Murraya koenigii to stay alive in Melbourne and there'd be *no* chance of stopping a Coffee Tree from dropping dead here without artificial heating. I can't imagine them becoming invasive down here in the south. | About the Author VioletCactus1 Melbourne 3rd February 2010 12:35pm #UserID: 516 Posts: 349 View All VioletCactus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

Grubs says... I didn't want to hear that Violet_Cactus. I just bought a curry tree (Murraya koenigii). I guess planting it in a pot in the glasshouse is better for preventing seed dispersal as well as keeping it warm. :) Edit: at least one curry tree is thriving in Melbourne -> https://www.daleysfruit.com.au/forum/curry-leaf-tree-in-melbourne/ (with the aid of a brick wall to warm it) | About the Author 68 Melbourne 3rd February 2010 1:46pm #UserID: 3334 Posts: 8 View All 68's Edible Fruit Trees |

culebra says... Have heard that Coffea arabica has naturalised in north Qld from where it has escaped from existing or abandoned plantations, as has Murraya koenigii which i think is also present in a semi-naturalised state the northern territory. Just be vigilant and check to see whether either are declared weeds in your state and you should be fine to grow them. both seem to grow well in Melb with an appropriate microclimate. murraya loves our scorching summers 44 degrees and it never looks better. | About the Author culebra Melbourne 5th February 2010 2:54pm #UserID: 2458 Posts: 82 View All culebra's Edible Fruit Trees |
