Raspberry - Williamette Liz's Edible FruitsUpdate: 6109 days 9hrs Comments: -
still in little pots - I have tried growing these before, and haven't managed to nurse them through the Perth summer, but I LOVE fresh raspberries, and they cost a ridiculous amount in the shops - I got a frame up for them last time, but didn't get the shadecloth and retic on in time...

olive - unknown varietyLiz's Edible FruitsUpdate: 6111 days 3hrs Comments: - Another blessing from past owners... fairly small fruit. This one is also very close to the power lines and so gets a pretty vicious pruning every few years. Pollination: No Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report |

figLiz's Edible FruitsUpdate: 6111 days 3hrs Comments: - Another legacy from past owners - it's a white fig of some sort, and very nice! (It would be taller, but it's near power lines and I have to give it a fairly vicious pruning every few years... which also helps to keep the fruit in reach.)

passionfruit - nelly kelly (Grafted) 4/10Liz's Edible FruitsUpdate: 6111 days 3hrs Comments: - This has not been a great success story to date - I have hardly had any fruit off it, and bought a new passionfruit this year to replace it... and now the original one is loaded with fruit! (My grandfather maintained that "Sunnypash" was better than Nelly Kelly, but I haven't been able to find a Sunnypash.)
