23/08/10 Frost: None About My Edible BackyardWhy Elke Love's Edible Plants I have been interested in growing plants from very early on, used to grow date palms from seed on the window sill in Germany in my childhood... I have a tiny Eastern Sydeny backyard and grow lots of plants in pots. I love especially unusual plants, some of them are experiments because they are marginal to this area... |

TRIED BUT DIED
Babaco Cutting 10/10 Elke's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3167 days 10hrs 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. When I Fertilise: Yearly Pest Control: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report 3 of 5 people found this review useful* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
