[4556 days 19hrs ago] Hi Dory, I love your garden and edible plants, I'm in Brisbane too (Nudgee, Northside). About a year ago I've started growing various shrubs, trees and other plants.

Peach - Angel Subtropical PBR Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4335 days 3hrs Comments: - Tree planted 8 months ago. It is growing OK, more than doublen in size since planting. I am hoping for some fruit soon. Tasted some bought in local green grocers and it was nice. The tips are drying and falling off, but I found a lot of people report similar thing, so perhaps it is normal. September 2012 - a few fruit set, they are about 1.5cm in size. November 2012 - tree had about 20 fruits, all beautiful and healthy, ripening and colouring.... Last night fruit bats ate them all - EVERY SINGLE ONE! Left fallen leaves and stones under the tree for me :-( I guess I am netting the tree next year.

Acerola - Florida Sweet 10/10 Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4339 days 21hrs Comments: - This little tree flowers and fruits non stop through spring, summer and autumn. Lots of fruit! My child loves it and eats some every day. Fruit has to be eaten straight after picking as it does not keep too well. Grows very fast, fruited a few months after planting. We have prunned the tree a little too hard last winter (2011). It is recovering, but slowly. It responds well to prunning, but we just went too far. It has some fruit now (March 2012), but not many. September 2012 - the tree does not look good. We pretty much killed it with the very heavy prunning. Branches are dying one by one. Just bought another plant from Daley's to replace it as we really like the fruit.

Curry Tree Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4481 days 13hrs Comments: - Had it growing in pot years ago. It was small, but healthy, and had plenty of leaves to harvest. Six years ago it was planted in the ground and now it is three meters high. Can be prunned rihgt back without ill effects, will grow back in no time. We don't let it fruit as it spreads very easily from seed. Leaves are very aromatic and we use them a lot in cooking. In subtroical climate this tree is very easy to grow and very hardy.

Chilli - Birds Eye Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4481 days 13hrs Comments: - We love chilli in our food, nearly every day. I think it's addictive!

Grumichama - Black 9/10 Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4503 days 3hrs Comments: - Very ornamental little tree. Has not fruited yet. Well, I found one tiny fruit last summer :-) Sep 2011 - tree is in flowers now!!! Hope to have some fruit soon. Nov 2011 - harvesting my first crop!!! The fruit is very nice and sweet, love the flavour. A little bit like very sweet blackcurrant. First crop not very big -about 0.5kg, hope it fruits more than once a year, not sure if it does. February 2012 - the tree is flowering again, so more than one crop per year!!!! Second crop not as big as the first one, fruit just starting to ripen (March 2012). The tree is still not that big, I hope to have bigger crops in the future. It is worth growing as it is compact, upright and requires little space comparing to other fruit trees.

Finger Lime Dory's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4588 days 2hrs Comments: - This tree has been planted six years ago, but nearly died two years ago. It developped some sort of white rot that consumed most of the wood. I cut it right back and cleaned as well as I could. It started growing again from the base. No flowers or fruits, but it is looking OK.
