Chilli - Rocoto Tree (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

It's great to have a chilli that will last longer than 1 season. Tried a green one & it tasted a bit like petrol! Waited for a fully ripe one & it was really good. Not too hot  but great flavour & slightly sweet aftertaste - like a hot capsicum. Fantastic chilli as it doesn't overpower other flavours in your cooking. Very happy with this plant & it's extremely productive.

Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot (Grafted)

Comments: -

From Daleys this spring. In a bonsai bag & growing well. No fruit has appeared yet. Very strong winds appear to have damaged trunk at the graft. Leaves have drooped a bit, so I've put some budding tape over the graft & it seems to be OK. Has set some fruit (Jan 2012)

Naranjilla (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Bought this in August 2011in a 140mm pot , it was about 200mm high. Now (early Nov2011) it is about 900mm high & very attractive. In a pot in azalea mix, doing very well thanks to all the tips from Daleys customers.(shaded spot) I'll probably get another one to increase pollination but even if it doesn't fruit it's a striking looking plant. Surprised it isn't grown just as a feature plant. Very happy.

Lots of flowers over summer but no fruit, has sent up 2 suckers

Carambola Starfruit- Seedling (Seedling) ^10/10

Comments: -

Arrived from Daleys looking great (Aug 2011) but Sydney was a bit cold & it lost some of that Kyogle growth! I took it out of the bonsai bag & tranplanted it to a warm black pot - that plus spring weather has seen it re establish & looks good. Has had protection from hot arvo sun over summer & has grown better in this position
