TRIED BUT DIED
Babaco Cutting 10/10![]() Update: 5415 days 23hrs Comments: - Bought: 2008 This is a vey worthwile plant to grow, mine has been in the ground for one year and started bearing fruit almost immediately. Fruit are sour and best eaten cut in half and covered with a sprinkle of sugar (overnight). Or made into fruit puree for juice. Green fruit can be used in stir fries.
Update: it died in a very wet winter in Sydney in 2010. I did not even get a chance to save some cuttings, the whole stem rotted quite quickly and severely.
Planted: 2008 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 3 kilograms per Year First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Low Sun Pollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: blood and bone occas.
