Wampee 8/10 JohnMc1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2707 days 21hrs Comments: - The Wampi/Wampee is an attractive, evergreen, slender tree and has been described as the finest fruit of Siam (Thailand). It is also a highly valued backyard tree in southern China and southeast Asia. It is classed as a subtropical / tropical fruit, but is relatively hardy and can withstand light frosts. This tree is a relative of the citrus family, thus its ability to grow in coastal Australia as far south as Melbourne and inland where the frosts are not too severe. The fruits are highly aromatic and can be sweet to tangy to almost sour depending on the variety and ripeness. Straight from the tree, Wampee are very refreshing, thirst quenching and cleansing to the palate. They grow in clusters from a few up to eighty in one bunch. The fruits turn yellow when ripe and have a thin, sometimes brittle skin, somewhat like paper. They generally have only 1-2 seeds in each fruit and are best left to ripen on the tree for as long as possible. They are a very attractive looking tree that can grow up to 8 meters with, beautiful dark green ruffled compound leaves. They have a dense growth habit making them an ideal shade tree. Wampee should be treated very much like any of the other citrus trees in regard to cultivation. A sunny, well drained site with plenty of water and organic matter should see these trees thrive. It is a spectacular landscape plant!!! The crop is borne solely on the tips of branches, so the less pruning the better. Very few problems have been observed with pest and diseases other than occasional infestations of aphids. Mature trees can produce up to 50kg of fruit each year. Like its close relative the citrus it is full of vitamin C, approximately 28mg per 100g. This fruit can be used for making jams, jellies, pies, and drinks but best eaten fresh, straight from the tree. If you want them to keep a bit longer you can try leaving the stalks on them.

It tastes like a more delicate version of custard apple, with hints of banana, pineapple and passionfruit, creamy and a little bit grainy, with no acid. I went to PNG a couple of times as a kid/teenager, and first ate it there (and was hooked). Occasionally you see tinned juice in Chinatown supermarkets, but the fresh fruit is hard to come by in Australia. I am trying to grow one in Brisbane too. So far so good (it loses its leaves in winter but grows in summer). The mature trees are pretty too. Diana.JohnMc1 says... [3564 days 9hrs ago] I'm thinking I might pot this one back up. I know they grow quite large but I should be able to manage it OK. The most important thing is, It's going into a large polytunnel house that I'm constructing. That way it will grow a lot faster and go off it's head if it so desires.au0rey says...

Maqui Berry (Seedling) 5/10 JohnMc1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3284 days 13hrs Comments: -
Information from the web: Macqui (Aristotelia chilensis [Mol.] Stuntz, Elaeocarpaceae) is a shrub or small tree native to Chile and Argentina in South America. The plant typically grows as an evergreen shrub that is 3-4 m tall. The leaves are ovate to lanceolate, 3-15 cm long, 1-5 cm wide, with a serrated leaf margin and are a glossy dark green color. The midvein and petiole are often reddish especially in young leaves. The plant is most commonly found in Andean foothills in fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soils with good soil moisture. Macqui is an early colonizer after forest timber is harvested. Maqui is dioecious and therefore plants produce either staminate or pistillate flowers. The yellowish-green flowers are borne in terminal clusters and open in late spring or early summer. The flowers are insect pollinated. The small (5-6 mm) black fruit ripen in late summer to early fall. The fruit are pleasant to eat fresh or dried. Large quantities of fruit are wild harvested for fresh market sales. The plant does not tolerate snow, but can tolerate occasional freezing spells of about - 5%uFFFD C Relatively easy to cultivate Planted: 2010 Height 1.5 metres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 3 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Pollination: No Organic Status:Partially Organic Question:

avacado bacon 10/10JohnMc1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3718 days 3hrs Comments: - I've only had this tree for about 12 months. It was looking sort of sick. I put it down to maybe root rot, so I took the opportunity to convert it into hydroponics. Low and behold, it's picked up and got all it's leaves back and is powering on at a very fast rate. Very impressed with the re covery. I feed this plant daily with a home made hydroponic solution. The media that the plant sits in is called fly ash, a very well free draining light weight Ph neutral rock, not too dissimmilar to scoria in a way.
