hi there, I have been looking for an Irish strawberry tree, I read you have them near you! I would Love a cutting or seedling..... I wanted to put the tree out in a paddock, do native birds eat the fruit or bats and hoping it will be a good bee tree. cheers Heather. 0428100473

Linton says... [1466 days 24hrs ago]

Hi Heather Sadly, the big Strawberry Tree that was on the corner of my street and got loaded with fruit was cut down about 6 months ago. Wish you had contacted me earlier. I will look for others around here and they are very commonly sold in the nurseries.

Do you have any edible Crataegus for sale...where are you based? Im in Melbourne.

Linton says... [1336 days 8hrs ago]

Sorry I don't have any spare Crataegus plants for sale.

mcmelb1 says... [1317 days 4hrs ago]

Hi there, was wondering if you had any spare seedlings or cuttings for sale for Blue Hawthorn, Saskatoon, Fuchsia boliviana or Honeyberry/Haskap? I live in Melbourne.

Linton says... [1316 days 6hrs ago]

Sorry , but I don't usually sell my plants unless I have a surplus as I am not a nursery, just a home grower. The only ones I have spare at the moment are the Assam Apple (Docynia indica) which is a very nice plant. Cheers!

mcmelb1 says... [1236 days 2hrs ago]

Hi Linton, thanks for the reply. If you happen to be pruning the Amelanchier alnifolia, guabiyu or Fuchsia boliviana; I would love to buy the cuttings off you. My email is marcusyuguang at gmail dot com. Thanks!

BJ11 says... [1136 days 2hrs ago]

Hello Linton, Love your selection! I notice you've managed to get Saskatoon ... was that from a nursery or seeds? Can you please let me know where I might be able to get a few? Thank you! :)

Linton says... [1123 days 20hrs ago]

Hi BJ, don't think you received my previous reply I sent you. If you need the true Saskatoon, Amelanchier alnifolia, you would need to import seeds from overseas and they take about a year to germinate. There are other Amelanchier varieties from the nurseries locally but the fruit are not as good as those of Alnifolia.

Troy says... [1082 days 8hrs ago]

Hi Linton, I messaged you a long time ago regarding pouteria australis seeds. Are you still able to collect them?

Troy says... [1081 days 4hrs ago]

Hi Linton, Dont panic, It was a long time ago, I forgot myself until I was talking to someone and the name came up. Not sure if it was you or another one, but if it was you Id be intetested in how the tadal seeds go. As for the black apple, im happy to wait for fresh seeds. My email is icedingo@hotmail.com If you can help me out id be grateful.

mgoul131 says... [731 days 9hrs ago]

Linton, Where did you get your E. pyriformis (Uvaia)? I would love to get one. (actually you have a lot of trees I'd like)

Linda says... [677 days 19hrs ago]

thought I'd post here too... Hi Linton, As Spring has officially sprung , I'd thought I'd message you about getting some cuttings off a white jacaranda so I can try my hand at grafting. I have a few small (self seeded) seedlings around and they are starting to 'wake up' ! If it's possible I'd pay for an express post bag for you to post them to me. Cheers, Linda

Linton says... [676 days 6hrs ago]

Please advise what size scions are required - length and thickness. Thanks.

Linda says... [676 days 3hrs ago]

Dear Linton, My goodness you are busy! Scion the size of the frequently recommended "e;pencil size"e; please x 2-4 nodes I guess. Apparently they have to be semi hard. I have an Omega grafting tool (knock off). I grafted some apples a few weeks ago and the receiving branches were much smaller than a pencil - too small for a firm graft with a reasonable edge area I think. Cheers.

Charles6 says... [631 days 7hrs ago]

Hi Linton, Love your plants. Do you have any Zanthoxylum piperitum pepper seeds for sale? Please contact Charles 0466 966 six seven eight. If you have any other seeds for sale that you can post to Sydney let me know :)

Linton says... [629 days 22hrs ago]

Sorry but don't have any seeds. It is the wrong time now but you might be able to get some during the fruiting season.

Linda says... [629 days 5hrs ago]

Hi Linton, Have your white jacarandas woken up yet? Still after some grafting material. I'd be happy to send you an express post bag (and some $) and you could post the cuttings back. Thanks , Linda

Linton says... [627 days 22hrs ago]

Yes its ready now. Please advise your email so I can provide my address more securely. Thank you.

Hey Linton, I would like to speak to you about purchasing some plants of yours depending on availability. I am local also and can be contacted on 0431515202. My name is Gia. Thanks.

Linton says... [383 days 22hrs ago]

I don't sell my plants very often as mentioned previously as I am only a home gardener and am not a commercial nursery. As you can see by the quantities below, I usually only have one plant of each species in my garden so there are rare any spares available. Cheers!

David E1 says... [193 days 24hrs ago]

Hi Linton. You truly have an amazing collection. I was wondering if you are interested in doing any trading. I have lots of fruit trees, some quite unusual, but not on the same scale as your collection. What i lack in rarity and numbers i try to make up for in lushness and color with interesting ornamentals. I'm always looking to make contact with like minded people.

TareqMelb1 says... [151 days 2hrs ago]

Hi Linton, You wrote in one of your replies that you have a canister. Can you share with me some tips in growing them in Melbourne? did they fruit for you?

Chinese Bird Plum (Cutting)

Linton's Edible Fruits

Comments: -

Although sometimes reported as deciduous, this plant has remained evergreen throughout Winter with continuous new flushes of growth . The small purple-black fruits are commonly eaten in China and some say that the leaves also have a plum scent. Easy to grow in Melbourne with little care required. Will be great if it can fruit here as it is another highly underutilised fruit.

Snottygobble

Linton's Edible Fruits
Update: 165 days 7hrs

Comments: -

Snotty gobble, or Persoonia longifolia, is the name of a small tree in WA with a thin trunk & branches, papery red/brown bark and an edible, sweet, sticky fruit. It bears unusual orange flowers which are followed by yellow green jellybean berries that were eaten by the indigenous people of the area. There are conflicting reports describing the flavour of Snottygobble fruit, some claiming that they taste insipid while others state the fruit is very tasty.

The best taste description that I have read states: 'Snottygobble fruits: Imagine a small seed wrapped up in an apricot, enclosed by a bitter skin. Sounds delicious right?'

Veralu, the Ceylon Olive (Elaeocarpus serratus).

After sowing the seeds almost 1 year ago they have finally sprouted and the baby plants have emerged. There are many secret uses for Veralu fruit that is so wildly popular in Sri Lanka, but it has no relation to the European Olives that we buy from the supermarket or grow here in our gardens. It is also claimed that Elaeocarpus serratus was brought into Sri Lanka from outside, but nobody seems to know where it originated from. Curious!

Lapsi - Nepali Hog Plum

Choerospondias Axillaris

It's a native fruit of Nepal so I was hoping it would be more hardy than other types of Hog Plums. However it has been very difficult to establish. The trick seems to be to keep them completely dry over winter as with growing all other Spondias species in Melbourne. They can survive over Winter from the water stored in their tuberous roots but if you water them during that time they will die.

Mexican Blueberry - Fuchsia blutini

Fuchsia Blutini Mexican Blueberry

Fuchsia arborescens x paniculata

Just bought a couple of these Fuchsia hybrids (Fuchsia Arborea BluTini) to see how they go. They are currently just starting to flower and by the end of Summer they should have produced profuse clusters of sweet edible round berries that look like blueberries. They are quite unlike any other Fuchsias and this variety has a PBR license so you are not allowed to propagate them yourself. Should be perfect for growing in pots on the balcony.

Platysace Deflexa - Youlk

Following extensive growing trials over a number of years in W.A., the commercialisation of Platysace deflexa was finally achieved with the release of plants to retail nurseries on 1 April this year.

Platysace deflexa, also known as Youlk, grows naturally in sandy soils only in the south west of W.A. It produces edible potato-like tubers but with it's own unique flavour. Unlike other tuber producing plants they can be harvested without damaging the parent plant. So far I have found them difficult to establish here in Melbourne.

Hi Linton, I noticed that your Diamond River Longan is going well. I am not too far from you and wanted to go one from seeds. If I can successfully get a plant from the seedling, I intend to grow it on the pot so that I can bring it into the house during the winter months. Do you have any tips on how to grow the Longan tree successfully based on your experience? Looking forward to your reply and thanking you in anticipation. Patrick

Linton says... [1244 days 4hrs ago]

Hi Patrick Sorry but I don't have any spare Diamond River Longans left but you can buy seeds of it from Fruitlovers Nursery in Hawaii and they will send them here. It is not the best variety to grow as the fruit are a bit small. I do have a large fruiting Thai variety spare if you are interested in that one and it was grown from seed. There is a Longan tree in Springvale that has had fruit over Summer and they will grow outdoors in Melbourne. They don't need to be brought inside over Winter. But seed grown trees take a long time to fruit, maybe 7 - 10 years so it's better to get a grafted one in you can afford it as they will fruit much quicker. I had flowers on a grafted Longan this year that I have only had for 6 months so I expect it to fruit next year. Cheers!

Have been a bit surprised how hardy this Annona species is in Melbourne's climate as it comes from up North. It has survived the last few winters here without fuss but is fairly slow growing.

It produces bight red/scarlet sausage-shaped fruit, sometimes called Darwin Apricots or Fingersops, and they are supposed to have a typical but sweet annona flavour.

These plants will probably need at least another two years before they are ready to fruit.

It is a small tree, 2 - 3m tall and the fruits can be eaten fresh. However it is said to be not very cold hardy, although I don't think it will have any problem to grow in Melbourne. It could possibly also grow well in warmer regions where normal apples or quinces might struggle.

Melodorum leichhardtii - Fruit Salad Vine (Seedling) ^9/10

Linton's Edible Fruits
Update: 859 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Melodorum leichhardtii (Zig Zag Vine, Acid Drop or Fruit Salad Vine)

This climber likes some support or it can be pruned to be grown as a shrub. It likes semi shade and well drained soil although I have been growing them in full shade. It belongs to the Annona family and produces edible orange fruit having an orange sherbert flavour. The fragrant flowers are said to smell exactly like the confectionery banana lollies you can buy from the shop.

Very slow growing at first but otherwise very easy to look after and requires virtually no care.

Hi Linton. You certainly have a most interesting collection of unusual plants. With regard to this plant, I tried eating one of the fruits from large tree in the Sydney Botanic Gardens and it did not agree with my digestive system. The information on these fruits is rather scant on the internet so, even though I have read they are edible, I have some reservations. Do you have any experience yourself or more reliable information?

Linton says... [695 days 24hrs ago]

Sorry I have never tried it but it's often the case that fruits are described as edible but they are not really palatable. Some are only really edible when they are fully or overripe so there's other factors to consider as well. Cheers!

byblos says... [468 days 19hrs ago]

Hi Linton, I am interested in where you found this specimen or did you grow it from seed. I am trying to find material for a cutting or even a seed. Could you help me?

Linton says... [466 days 22hrs ago]

The only place I know of is they are sold occasionally at the Sydney Botanic Gardens shop when they have plant sales.

Reasonably fast growing and hardy climber from China. Can be grown as a bush with the support of a frame. Fruits are usually red but can be other colours but will have to wait until it fruits to find out.

SPANISH TAMARIND, Vangueria edulis

Was planted in the ground but it started to decline in the bone dry soil so seems that it is not as drought tolerant as claimed. The plant has now been put back into a large pot and seems to be responding well with a bit of water.

Can tolerate some cold and can be grown outdoors in Melbourne in a protected spot. The 4cm round fruits are said to have a pleasant chocolate-like flavour. Would like to grow more if I could find some.

North American Paw Paw (Grafted) ^9/10

Linton's Edible Fruits
Update: 859 days 8hrs

Comments: -

Asimina triloba - Sunflower, Prima - Self Fertile with high quality fruit!

Have 4 trees that have been fruiting for the past 3 years including two grafted types. Also growing the self fertile varieties Sunflower and Prima which are most popular in Europe.

Found that Pennsylvania Gold has exceedingly large fruit but a very bad after taste and therefore not worth growing in my opinion. The 'Louis' or 'Melbourne' variety is better with good size fruit but still has a little of the poor after taste. My seedling trees have sensational flavour, much better than the named varieties, but alas they have more seeds and poor flesh to seed ratio. Now pinning my hopes on Prima and Sunflower varieties for having optimum fruit but they are yet to reach fruiting age.

All are very hardy trees, can take dryness but perform better with some shade in Summer.

Linton, when do yours break dormancy? My trees (seedlings) stayed dormant all through summer. They still seem to be alive but no leaves at all.

Linton says... [648 days 21hrs ago]

My trees broke dormancy at the end of Winter and are now in flower. Never heard of them being dormant or leafless over Summer.

Hi Linton, do you have any Pawpaw seeds you would sell? Thanks

Linton says... [554 days 5hrs ago]

Only have small plants available at the moment. Will have seeds from the current crop once they are ripe in a few weeks time.

Prab410 says... [416 days 19hrs ago]

Hi Linton, do you have seeds ready now? I'd like to buy some seeds from you if you sell.

Linton says... [415 days 22hrs ago]

Yes, I have some seeds available. Please advise your contact details for easier communications.

Hi Linton, rnd3@live.com is my email. Please let me know which varieties you think taste good. Thanks

North American Tulepo Tree that produces edible fruits that can be used as a substitue for limes. Seeds were easy to germinate. It is a large tree that grows along river banks so it might not be suitable for most gardens.

The fruit is produced in small clusters of 2 - 3, it is up to 4 centimeters long, has a thick, juicy, very acidic flesh and contains a single seed.It can also be used to make a refreshing drink.

Cenarrhenes nitida 'Port Arthur Plum'

A native of Tasmania, it's a large bush or small tree that produces a fleshy plum-like fruit. Unsure of how long they take to reach fruiting age. The plant is intolerant of phosphate so I have avoided giving it any fertiliser. Seems to be growing well so far in a semi-shaded position.

It's cultivated in China and Northern Thailand for the extract from it's fruit which is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The plants have grown well over Summer but will need to see how they go over Winter in Melbourne. Even if they die back, hopefully they will regrow in the Spring but this remains to be seen. Reports indicate that they can tolerate cool and foggy conditions.

Said to have the best flavour of all the Kiwi fruit varieties. Very sweet with the largest fruit, it is also the only low chill hardy kiwi in the world and can fruit in a wide range of climates.

Was slow to start but after one year it took off and has now climbed the fence. The main problem is finding a suitable male pollinator that will flower at the same time.

Do they taste good? I tried a few berries and they tasted sweet but insipid, completely lacking any acid. Do you think it was the tree i picked them from? It was growing in a shady area.

Linton says... [861 days 7hrs ago]

Yes, they are sweet without any acidity which some people prefer so whether they are considered to taste good is somewhat subjective depending on the persons tastes. If you want something with more acidity why not just grow Surinam Cherries, easy to grow and highly acidic.

mcmelb1 says... [861 days 1hrs ago]

I thought the fruits tasted a bit like nata de coco. I'm already growing surinam cherries, thanks for the recommendation though!

This is the only cactus species I am growing. It originates from Chile and is one of the few cacti that can tolerate wet and cold conditions, hardy to minus 15 deg. C and even grows in snow.

Have 3 varieties of Amelanchiers:

Last year the birds got them so it is imperative that they are netted before they ripen. Currently have a crop that is still ripening on the tree which is about 1.5 metres high and 3 years old.
