08/11/10 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Chris4 Love's Edible Plants My orchard is located on a 1/4 acre block on the NSW Central Coast. Most of the fruit trees are planted on an east facing bank. The trees are protected from strong western sun by a row of casuarina trees. There are a number of trees in pots and half wine barrels.

[1822 days 6hrs ago] Hi Chris, Looks really nice. Would you consider selling a few pieces of scion wood from your already fruiting Jabo next time you prune the trees so that I can graft onto my 2 year old? Here in cold Melbourne, this is taking even longer than average fruiting age. Thanks Pra* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
