About My Edible Backyard


Why Milan Love's Edible Plants

My parents were Market Gardeners and since Moving to Qld in 1992 I have always been fond of growing things especially Fruit trees. I had a beautiful pure bred White German Sheppard who was very big and sadly he passed away so I saw the opportunity to start planting fruit trees in my back yard. I have Planted two bowen mango trees, a Brazilian Cherry Tree, 2 Paw paw trees, a fig tree also a Meyer Lemon, Tahitian lime and a Mandarin tree with also the Herb Garden and italian Radicchio in the front Summer Box Garden.

Paw paw tree - Peter thank you for your comments but will the tree stop growing upwards. I have not touched the trunk only the new shoots (leafs)at the top. Or do I just take the tin off. regards Milan..4807 days 2hrs
Paw paw tree - I have attached 2 photos of my paw paw Trees nearly 1 month on and they have gone crazy with growing even higher since December last year. I have cropped the top at just over 3.5m and placed a tin can over the top as some of the old timers have told me ..4808 days 4hrs

Now that the dog has gone I have been able to plant my trees. The yard is large so I wanted to fill it in with fruit trees and I have 2 Bowen Mangos I purchased at the start of this year they were grafted and are growing at a rate of knots with this rain. They are about 2m tall and the trunks are getting wider but I will have to wait and nuture them.

Question:

As my trees grow with the new shoots and leaves especially when the young leaves fill out I have found little caterpillars eating some of them and I have been checking the leaves on a daily basis so I can get rid of any. Can you please tell me if I should be using something like pyrethrium spray or will this harm the tree.

Mango tree are fuss free tree. Good rhymes! :) You should not need to spray anything to keep the insects away. More of danger if there are fungal infection. I live in a Mango farm and there were no need to worry about insect as they are usually quite resistance against them (including caterpillars). Take it easy!! :) Save some money from buying pyrethrium.
