19/07/09 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Kazj Love's Edible Plants Hi we live in Oak Flats which is in the Shellharbour region of NSW. We grow organically. We have mixture of ornamental, fruit trees and vegie garden though I want to increase the amount of fruit trees. Our problem here is fruit fly. It affects so many types of fruit that would otherwise grow brilliantly. Our suburban backyard is about 700 square meters and is North facing. Not sure about our annual rainfall but we tend to have wetter humid summers and dryer winters. Our soil is fairly light loam it has been continually improved over the last 10 years with compost and mulch. Comments* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Kumquat - Variegated![]() Update: 5683 days 6hrs Comments: - Affected a lot by scale. Looks pretty but has extremely tart fruit. I prefer other varieties like Nagami to eat. I think I will pull it out and try another type. Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report 6 of 7 people found this review useful* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

It hasn't grown much but had a few crab apples this year. It does need a bi more TLC from me though to truly get a good picture of how successful it will be. Was this review helpful?
