Rollinia - Brazilian Custard Apple ^7/10

The plant is deciduous but it is so warm here it managed to keep all its leaves over winter. New growth - currently planted in a massive pot in full afternoon sun.

Pomegranate - Wonderful ^8/10

Comments: -

The flowers are so vivid and beautiful - fruit will be a bonus!

Bought from Bunnings so I am not sure on the variety, we have had flowers twice so far but no fruit.  In a massive pot - this is our second attempt with the pommegranate - our first plant was in the pot and did not drain properly - with our wet season there was two inches of water in the top of the pot for about a week and the plant died. We now have made sure the drainage is better (more holes in the pot and a small layer of gravel) and the new tree is thriving

These have grown really quickly and are doing great. I spray every day with water to create humidity. Not sure how to get flowers so will need to do more research

Orange Berry ^4/10

Comments: -

The idea of sweet honey like fruit sounded great. I have had berries now and have to say they tasted a bit unpleasant and like medicine :) Could be just me though. No sure if I will keep these because there is very little fruit to seed ratio.

Apple - Tropical Anna ^7/10

Comments: -

I really want to grow apples but not sure if there are enough chill hours here. I bought the plant in Rockhampton and it looks like I have three fruit growing but I won't know until next year if fruit will set for me here.

I love the idea of caramel fruit! The tree is very tall and top heavy though so not sure how it will go - it looks very flimsy.

Feijoa ^8/10

Comments: -

The trees have beautiful foliage and the tree is very hardy. I originally had 5, two which I bought from bunnings and three from a local nursery. I am not sure what type any are. The two from bunnings do not seem to be doing as well as the other three.

Blueberry - Sharpblue ^8/10

Comments: -

Blueberries are delicious. My plant did not look very well about 3 months ago and i think I had a fungus. I repotted the plants in azalea mix and I now have flowers (four on one bush and three on the other), but I think I will pull them off to get the plant to focus on growth.

Tea Plant ^4/10

The flowers are beautiful and the tea is a bonus. The plant does not seem to be doing well though with very little growth and browing to the leaf tips. I am not sure this one is going to make it...
