About My Edible Backyard

Why Rev Love's Edible Plants

Ranging from gravelly clay to rich floodplain. Fertility good to excellent. annual rainfall variable 800-1100mm mostly in late summer through to may. Moderate frosts 12-30 p.a down to -4 most years. North facing.

Biggest challenge: coping with the difficult climate. wet or drought Subtropical summers, Killing frosts but with minimal chilling hours, Heavy late frosts after budburst. Dry or flooded springs.

Rewards: being the first to grow many things in the area. demonstrating just how fertule and productive the area is with the right care, species and cultivars.

the Common type in the area. loved by Birds, and in some seasons fruit fly. Makes excellent Jam and Wine, or distilled spirit. The host plant for silkworms, Goats love the leaves as fodder and is a very productive tree in a lowlying spot.

Grafted. Slow growing. Not as hardy as the white in this climate. Berries excellent, like white but with some flavour
