I've had one fruit from this Cedar Bay Cherry and was a little disappointed. I think I have a poor variety; football shaped and very lean. Not like the plump fruit in Cath from Cowongla's picture.

Poorly shaped graft that I naively bought from the hardware shop that starts with a B.

Mango R2E2 Seedling

 I have three mangoes in one hole (K.P, R2E2 & ?) to reduce their eventual size. All were grown from seed because of their particularly excellent flavour... I'll see what happens.

Native Ginger

Comments: -

In culinary terms the rhysome is not a patch on Chinese ginger but an attractive native plant all the same. Looking forward to tasting the fruit.

Seedling grown from Wonderful seed. Who knows what I'll get.???

Potato beetles decimate these so I get very few fruit but each year another plant appears somewhere in the garden.

Lilly Pilly - Magenta Cherry

Comments: -

I'm growing the Lilly pillys for their fruit but I think maybe this one is an 'Astrale' in sheeps clothing. My other Paniculatum is a cutting from a known local tree that has delicious fruit best described as 'cherry-like'.
