We have a north facing yard with sun all day. Adequate rainfall. We have top soiled all the lawn and incorporated sand, manure with mulch and soil to fill our raised garden/ tree beds.

Fig - Brown Turkey 10/10![]() Update: 5260 days 19hrs Comments: - The fruit is sweet and tender. It is an attractive tree with prolific fruiting. We are yet to prepare a bed for this tree but it may stay potted as the tasty fruit are available in summer and autumn. A great fig choice, one to be recommended.

Dwarf Apple - Tropic Sweet (Grafted) 10/10![]() Update: 5260 days 19hrs Comments: - It's first year, last year, this dwarf apple produced 6 delicious, crisp apples whilst still in a pot. This year it is truly magnificent with so many attracttive flowers, I am sure we will have a good yield. It is nearly 1.5m high and in full sun. It now has a companion, a Dwarf Tropical Anna about 2m away and it could be this addition that is allowing our Dwarf Tropic Sweet to blossom so well. It will be interesting to see how many sweet apples we can pick this year. What a delightful tree!
