Lychee - Kwai May Pink (B3) (Grafted) 10/10 Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1180 days 7hrs Comments: - This lychee is doing awesome in the ground. Turns out they like slightly acidic soil, so it's been planted next to our blueberry hedge to take advantage of the work already done to acidify that area. It suffered shock and stress when we first planted it, lost all its leaves and appeared dormant over Christmas, however it's green, leafy, happy and thriving now. Still too little t produce, but it attempted to fruit last year (kept our local bees happy!) but dropped all its fruit. Maybe this year or next year we will get a harvest but, even if not, patience is key.

Nectarine - White Satin (Grafted) 10/10 Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1180 days 8hrs Comments: - This has been grafted to a tree as a "double graft" with an Angel peach. Both species do not require a cross-pollinating partner, so this was simply a space-saving way to cram more food types into the yard. I am so happy with it! It flowered and "fruited" already technically, but dropped all its fruit as it really is far too young and small to be bearing fruit. However it did everything perfectly, so maybe this year or next year we will start to see the pay off and its "practice run" kept the local bees happy. Still in a large grow pot while we work out where to install it!

Passionfruit - Panama Perfection 10/10 Kate816's Edible FruitsUpdate: 1180 days 8hrs Comments: - Absolutely thriving, holy smokes, I planted this in a raised bed with three other passionfruit varieties thinking "see how they go", bought them on clearance in poor health. Well. Now they are overtaking the fence and so very bushy and dense and healthy. A much prettier sight than the bare wire fence. We are thrilled. So easy to grow!

Same conditions, potted, same soil mix (Searles Peat 80 mixed with peat moss and a seasol drink when potted then fertilised with dunamic lifter and mulched with peat moss). Was this review helpful?
