Dwarf Avocado - Lamb Hass (A) (Seedling) 8/10Kath5's Edible FruitsUpdate: 873 days 18hrs Comments: - Seems to be doing well, planted in mid winter at about 1m high and flowering already 1.5 months later. The branches droop a lot so I will keep it staked until it has a few good strong branches to hold rest of the plant up.

Pandanus - Edible (Seedling) 7/10Kath5's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1268 days 17hrs Comments: - Lovely fragrant plant but always struggled in Perth winters until it rotted one year. It might have done better if I'd kept it inside in winter and been more careful not to overwater. Was this review helpful?
