Peachcot Ora A (Grafted) 7/10 Hillgrower's Edible FruitsUpdate: 6070 days 20hrs Comments: - The tree has been planted for a little over a year and has produced fruit in both first and second seasons. The first year the fruit was delicious, but sadly a combination of birds and strong winds meant that we did not get any of the second season fruit. the tree receives very little attention, but is on a dripper line from our greywater system. Fruiting Months August and September Planted: 2008 Height 1 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Full Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: manure blend When I Fertilise: Winter Pest Control: Asking the pair of king parrots nicely if they would like to go on to some native foods instead.
