![]() CommentsKathK says... [5393 days 3hrs ago]Hi CJ, We are only a few kms north of you & have managed to grow a lot through trial (& a fair bit of error!) Good luck-it'll be worth the hard work now to pick your own produce, KathKathK says... [5393 days 3hrs ago] also, we have the Tropic Snow Peach on your wish list-put it in last winter, espaliered it & now loaded with fruit-obviously likes the area so go for it!!!* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

[5450 days 2hrs ago]CJ, does your quince loose all its leaves in the warm Perth winters? If so - when does it tend to drop its leaves?CJ1 says... [5449 days 4hrs ago] Hi BJ, it has been very, very reluctant. Last weekend I gave it a good prune and removed the last of the leaves, which had changed colour but not quite dropped off. The tree is planted against a north-facing, cream-coloured fence, so that probably doesn't help!* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
Dragon Fruit - Red (Cutting)![]() Update: 5449 days 4hrs Comments: - Just got started on this one (red with white flesh) with a cutting from a friend. Currently its about 30cm tall. Dotted with rooting power and planted in potting mix. Will wait and see! Also picked up a red flesh pitaya recently from Tass1. Now I need to find a spot for them! 12/06/10 - and another cutting from Tass1, this time yellow skin white flesh. Treated same as above. My other two have had lots of new growth over summer but seem to be slowing a bit now in winter.

Lilly Pilly - Magenta Cherry![]() Update: 5798 days 4hrs Comments: - Got this one as a freebie. It's barely more than a twig at the moment and doesn't seem to be enjoying the winter at all. Hopefully it will be happier when summer arrives and it takes off in true lilly pilly fashion!

Nectarine - Fairlane (Grafted)![]() Update: 5798 days 5hrs Comments: - Not sure how this will go as it might not get enough chill.

Gift from a friend. Grown from seed so not sure what variety it is - hopefully self-fertile! It has gone through a bit of a rough spot recently, very neglected while I was on holiday, but seems to be making a slow recovery.
