Odd that it's not on other plants also, my parsley looks like this at the moment. If you don't have whitefly this year then I will be very surprised, it has been epidemic in the western suburbs. Cheers, Gabby..540 days 23hrs Kiwiberry hardy kiwifruit - Been following this with interest, would love to hear your thoughts on the fruit. I am putting in the footings for my pergola on Saturday and want to decide what kiwis I plant. How big are your plants, need to get an idea of how many I can fit 😁 ..581 days 23hrs Kiwiberry hardy kiwifruit - Hi Linton, wonder if sulphate of potash will promote flowing, worth a try before next spring/summer. Was just looking to find info on what time of year they flowered and found this which is very informative, it mentions the pruning regime for fruit produc..853 days 21hrs Kiwiberry hardy kiwifruit - Thanks Linton, isn't it a cute little guy. I will contact you in late November then, see if I can't get you to give me a birthday present :) Then I can share cuttings the year after if all goes well. Cheers Gabby..1183 days 22hrs Magnolia grafting - Hi, it won't work, you can only graft other prunus species (eg. apricot, plum, a different cherry, almond, peach, nectarine) onto a prunus root stock, and even then some may be incompatible, or take but have a weak graft union which blows off in a big sto..1184 days 9hrs Fabric pots - Actually now that I look the apples were planted there in 4/6/2013 and I visited 8/9/2015, they have grown very fast!! http://gibside.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/apple-tree-tuesday.html ..1185 days 10hrs Fabric pots - In my opinion the reason the bags work above ground is that the roots die when exposed to air hence "air pruning" in the description. If the bag is buried then it will no longer "air prune" and you will sever a stack of roots when you dig it up to move h..1185 days 11hrs Even growth on double graft - I think your lemon is growing lime not yet, the photo shows how the lime leaf on the left has a bit of leaf type material sticking out on either side of the stem (winged petiole) and the lemon on the right does not, (the coulour difference is nitrogen def..1185 days 11hrs Kiwiberry hardy kiwifruit - Hi Linton, Where did you get your Ken's red, or are you willing to share cuttings?

Sorry to disappoint but I will let you know if that changes. Thanks Gabby..1328 days 18hrs Prunus mume - Hi all, I have not been successful with my grafting, I am not sure if it was the wrong time of the year or if i ruined the budwood by putting it in the fridge rather than the crisper (apparently the fridge is too cold and the crisper is a better temp)...1435 days 12hrs Lemon tree17 - I would be worried that it might make the pH more alkaline which is not good for citrus. The reason being that ash is alkeline. If you have a pH test kit use it, if not go and get one they are under 20 bucks from garden centres. You will have to give y..1700 days 17hrs Corky bark oak suber - Hi Domenic, I don't have any seedlings for cork oaks only English oaks (Q.
