11/10/10 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Roch1 Love's Edible Plants I'm passionate about growing fruit trees in my very small backyard. I've got couple of fruit trees, vegies, herbs, etc. In Lynbrook (South East of Melbourne) it gets really cold at night in the winter. Biggest challenge is keeping the plants alive during that time.

I got my Pinkerton 2 years ago. It's still in a pot & is struggling. May be the root stock is not suitable for the chilly climate here. ..4821 days 7hrs Bacon avocado fertilser - Agree with John Mc.

Mulberry - Hicks Fancy (Grafted) 7/10![]() Update: 5281 days 11hrs Comments: - Fruited within its 1st year of planting, as a bare rooted tree. Only a handful, which is bit disappointing. 1 of the branches died but the other is growing well. This is a early season variety. No hassle tree. Doesnt like we feet. Prune in winter.

Peach - Anzac (Grafted) 4/10![]() Update: 5281 days 11hrs Comments: - Bought from Bunnings. Very troublesome. Within 1st year of planting got curly leaf. Only knew it after the leafs came out, which is too late to control. Suspect it had it even before I purchased. Lesson to be learnt, if you plant stone fruits, always remember to do the copper treatment before buds swell. 2years but no fruits yet. Prune in winter. Planted: 2008 Height 2 metres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: Winter and Spring Pest Control: Copper oxychloride spray before buds swell.
