29/08/10 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Townfarm1 Love's Edible Plants I have a passion for good, clean food and believe that every back yard should at least grow some edible crops in this day and age. I only live on a normal (750sqm) house block but pack as much into that space as possible - my main frustration being the lack of space. Though as you can see I have still managed to fit in a lot of trees and I grow my veges within that landscape also. My garden is forever evolving and on that basis is an exciting place to spend time. I want to make my garden a great place for my grandchildren (or anyone else for that matter) to come and forage and understand that 'food' does in fact grow on trees and doesn't come in plastic bags! My favourite magazine if Good Earth which I look forward to every quarter for the great information they provide. Comments* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Custard Apple - Hilary White 8/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Yet to fruit. Gets a fair bit of wind and we live on the water so I have had it staked. Trying to keep growth under control as I am limited with space. I have a few flowers on this tree now so am hoping the high winds don't blow them off! I think I pruned it at the wrong time so didn't get fruit again this year. I think I will just leave it alone this year and see what happens.

Dwarf Orange - Navelina (Grafted) 5/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Only a young tree. Has struggled a little as I moved it after a few months as I (and it) was not happy with the original location. Seems to be coming back and I anticipate good growth over the next 12 months. I let the sweet potato take over a bit and drown out this tree a little. Have just cut it back so am hoping it will struggle on - may replace it I think as I am losing patience.

Lime - Tahitian (Grafted) 9/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - A young tree. May have been set back a bit as I moved it from the garden into a pot. Seems to have come back well though and has some fruit as well as a mass of flowers on it at present. Also gets quite a bit of wind and salt as is right on the water. Seems happy.

Dwarf Lemonade (Grafted) 9/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Still only a young tree. Gets a fair bit of wind and salt air. A bit leggy and plan to prune back this year to increase density a bit. Very happy. About half a dozen fruit last season but quite a few more on tree now. Seems to be very hardy - no pests at this stage. Has plenty of fruit on it and am having trouble deciding when to prune back to stop it getting too leggy - just keeps flowering and fruiting!! Still fruiting but still leggy. Might have to cut it back to encourage it to fill out.

By the time the fruit has ripened, there are more flowers/ baby fruit on it. Was this review helpful?

Dwarf Mulberry - Black (Grafted) 10/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - What a wonderful little tree. Fruited from the first season and hasn't looked back - just keeps on giving. Have just been given some chooks so I'm sure the mulberry tree are going to enjoy sharing its spot with them.

Peach - Angel Subtropical (Grafted) 9/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - As I have had such wonderful success with other sub-tropical peaches decided to try this one when it came on-line. Only planted in October, 2009 but has doubled its size. Very enthusiastic grower. Can't wait to try the fruit. If it like the other peaches I put in I should taste the first from this tree next summer. Tree bursting out in flowers so expecting some lovely peaches around Xmas.

Jaboticaba - Grafted (Grafted) 7/10Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Planted this one about September last year. Is in a pot close to water and gets a fair bit of wind at times and the leaves seem to be burning off a bit from these elements. Thinking of swapping it around with the bay leaf tree which is further back on the deck. It still seems to be thriving all the same. I understand this is one tree I need to be patient with with regards to fruit. Must shift this pot!

Nectarine - Sunwright (Grafted) 8/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Planted November 2009 and looking very healthy with lots of new growth. If it is as good as my peach trees I will be very happy. I would expect some fruit in first season. Oh dear, all the rain we have had has taken its toll. Wel have had to dig this tree up and re-plant in a mound as it got so water-logged. I have cut it right back to try to reduce the stress. Very disappointing as it was about 5ft high and looking so good. Hopefully it will survive. Recovered beautifully. Lots of new growth but no flowers. It didn't lose its leaves like the other temperate fruit tree so I will be interested to see if it flowers.

Dwarf Apple - Tropical Anna (Grafted) Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Planted 2008 and seemed to be going strong but curled up its toes in Winter 2009 which was very disappointing. Have just received a replacement which I will plant on the weekend so hopefully I will not have the same problem. The replacement tree is going well. Hopefully it will survive. Has had a few bugs on the new growth which I have controlled manually at this stage - not sure what they were - little yellow bugs about the size of a flea. No bugs worrying it now that it has matured a little more. No flowers yet, though hope there will be some to help its companion along.

Dwarf Apple - Dorsett Golden (Grafted) 8/10 Townfarm1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4988 days 20hrs Comments: - Planted back in 2008 with an 'Anna'. Anna did not survive the winter but Dorsett continued on and produced 16 apples dispite not having an official pollinator. May have been another apple in the area though I do doubt it. Anyway, nice dense, crisp apples though the fruit fly did sting them before i got them off the tree but we just ate around the sting. Note to self for next year to take action to prevent the damage. Starting to flower.
