The regular guava and the strawberry guava should form crops on their own but unless you have a self fertile feijoa you won't get fruit on it in all probability..716 days 4hrs What depth raised garden for dwarf avocado - https://selfsufficientme.com/how-to-plant-grow-avocado-trees-in-clay-soil/..716 days 4hrs

A small grafted tree originally from the famous specimen in Louis Glowinski's Melbourne garden. Struggled in the dry conditions for a few years in Victoria, now growing in a more suitable climate.
Update March 2010
Disaster - this tree was run over by the ride-on mower. No hope of salvaging it as it was chopped below the graft. Have managed to source another from Perry's in SA. Lucky for me, a difficult plant to find.
July 2010
The long awaited replacement tree has finally arrived from Perry's, and has taken prime position in full sun, just outside the gates of the swimming pool. Have married it off to a 'Lemon Gold" so here's hoping for a fruitful union.
Planted: 2009

This tree is now large and shades part of the front area of the pool. Fruits in early summer however it is very attractive to flying foxes and I need some strategies to stem the losses. I hear laser lights sold at Christmas are an effective repellant. The fruit are as large as a navel orange with a rich complex flavour
Comments: - Planted in dappled shade, the tree appears healthy so far and flowering, especially on older wood. Sourced from at nursery at Tweed Heads, have planted it in close proximity to "Ortego" which is in full bloom. Ants seem to like the flowers, maybe they will be useful pollinators.

Comments: - Another find at a local fruit stall, this plant was so pot bound it was growing through the plastic into the ground below. Seemed to have transplanted ok, have bought it as a pollinator for "Vista".

Now a sturdy productive tree, the skin thicker and less likely to split than other cultivars, more shell-like. I find the flavour exceptional, very rich although the fruit are never quite large enough!
Comments: - Discovered by chance at a run-down nursery at Surfers' Paradise, an established tree which looked like it had been there for some time and overlooked. Already in flower, have started hand pollinating with pollen from the Ortego planted nearby. Having only just gone into the ground, flowers may abort before the fruit develops.

Cam there is a forum user called jujubesforsale" and she normally sells grafted trees over the winter months. You should be able to find some posts from her or if you'd like to leave your e-mail address I'll contact her on your behalf.
Hi Phil, I've read some posts from her but I thought of finding a few other places before deciding where to buy from because these plants are quite costly. Looks like JujubeForSale offers the most variety. Will contact her again. Thanks for your help.
I think I lost the graft on this cultivar, however the rootstock is now around twelve feet tall and due to a late wet season I had a huge crop of smallish but tasty fruit to share - more suited to a mediterranean climate than I have here but grows well.
Comments: - Seedlings from superior varieties I had imported from a breeding program in the US - Shennandoah, Pa Golden, Susquehanna and Allegheny. Hoping enough winter chill here in Tyalgum to initiate flowering

I have some healthy looking seedlings but they are very slow, planted out some into the ground and just waiting for some decent growth to occur. Some years off fruiting it would seem. Seeds come up on eBay most times of the year, generally from the US - they are approved for import.
Comments: - Young plants bought after tasting jam made from a friends' fruiting tree. Also have a specimen of the Nth Queensland species which has different (less hairy) leaves and flowers more on longer panicles.

Hi Phil, I live in Lismore and have just begun the journey of growing my own fruit. I love plums but thought they required chilling hours???? Are these plums sweet/sour/tangy? I am growing my plants mainly in pots because I rent and want to take my plants with me if need be - would this suit the davidson?
Also could you advise me as to a local market that has some of these fruits for sale?
Thank you Phil :-)
They are not related to European/Japanese plums at all, so don't require chilling as they are native to Northern NSW. You often see the fruit for sale at the farmers markets, I have some seedlings coming on if you want some.
Comments: - Rare fig with blue flush to skin. Once popular, listed in Australian catalogues in 19th century. Now listed " whereabouts unknown". Two precious cuttings kindly sent by fellow gardener, growing well and strongly in this climate.

I transferred this to a large glazed container as it was very slow in the ground, and growth has been rapid and healthy since. Hoping it will start bearing this coming season
Comments: - Promising new fruit now seasonably available in selected market outlets as "Achacha". Seedlings I have were germinated about three months after receiving seed from a co-forum member.

Hi Phil, have these worked for you? I have been tempted to try them in Alsonville, but unsure if that would be successful. How would you rate the fruit? Thanks!
I have a lot of space for this species - productive and rewarding. Cuttings take root within days, and have recently begun trialling seedlings from this plant to try and add something a little different to the narrow selection available in this country.
July 10
I have successfully germinated around 40 seedlings which I plan to trial for some genetic variation. I never see this fruit offered for sale, may sell off excess produce through the local store who seem happy to barter with local growers, a good outlet for organic produce.
May 13
Have found these plants attract many pest species, much to the detriment of the plant. Some fruit in autumn seems to develop ok but spring foliage normally covered in the larvae of leaf eating ladybirds and beetles. Have let my plants decline - may trial organic pest control next season.

Comments: - A well established tree, 5 ft tall seedling purchased while still dormant at Bangalow market. Have pruned a few inches off to encourage branching, new leaves emerging already. Have given it the prime position at the front of the swimming pool in full sun for a tropical effect.

Comments: - Healthy looking young plant, although no sign of a graft visible, I suspect propagated by some other means. Small amount of scale insect present on purchasing treated with white oil.

I left fruit to ripen on the tree, softens slightly and was brilliant when picked at this stage. Organza bags placed over each protected them from pest damage - flawless.
Comments: - Healthy young tree bought locally. Pictured is the original Hass tree in California from whence came the millions of Hass trees growing worldwide. It was a chance seedling in 1926 and unfortunately succumbed to Phytophthora in 2002.

My Mum taught us to bury the purple Burdekin Plum fruits in damp sand until they became soft and sweet. I think fruit flavour varied tree to tree but the sand trick turns them all into edible fruit within a few days.
Phil that would be wonderful - unfortunately I have just started and have nothing to trade. although i did study horticulture for 1 and 1/2 years so could offer some garden work? How do we arrange this?
Thank you Phil, will wait until i get a spare tyre before i drive up that way. I will look into nurseries along the way. cheers! I am excited to have the opportunity to expand my collection with two species that grow well nearby.
I would have to say this is the most eclectic and unusual bunch of fruits assembled but very good looking!! Would love to try some of them if not all of them! :-)
Yes some hits and misses but most are doing ok. Thanks for the comment. This particular species is used as a street tree in my local town, drops its fruit all over the pavement.
