13/12/13 Frost: About My Edible BackyardWhy Jenny Love's Edible Plants I love growing things to eat, unfortunately there are only so many fruit trees i can squeeze in to a suburban backyard, and those fruit fly are my no. 1 enemy. It is so lovely to eat a delicious fruit you have grown yourself. Since reading about growing trees in bags there's no holding me back! Also top-working existing trees sounds very intriguing - I'm going to try that as soon as I can ![]() Commentsahimsa cottage says... [4535 days 8hrs ago]Hello Jenny, I was wondering whether you would be interested in selling a small cutting of red flowering catus you have in your photo - i have lots of white ones which are very beautiful but yours looks very interesting, Cheers Samantha from Ahimsa CottageJenny says...

Rollinia - Brazilian Custard Apple (Grafted) 8/10![]() Update: 4073 days 19hrs Comments: - I just loved the description of a fruit that tasted like lemon delicious pudding, took a punt, bought one, it has only ever given me one fruit, i tasted it and was sold! There are masses of flowers on it now but no fruit set even though i'm keeping the water up (you'd think in Brisbane we'd have high enough humidity) so i'm having a go at hand pollination. The suspense is killing me. I hope it works. update, fruit rather bland and disappointing, looking into grafting different varieties on to the tree found it necessary to regularly spray with fungicide to keep the fruit Fruiting Months January, February, November, December Planted: 2008 Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Fruit Harvest: 1 Fruit Per Year Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Spring Pruned By: 30% in After Fruiting, Autumn, Winter, Spring Pollination: Hand Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Fruit tree fertiliser When I Fertilise: Spring Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?

TRIED BUT DIED
Palm - Dwarf Acai (Seedling)![]() Update: 4539 days 20hrs Comments: - bought this in February, planted it in the ground. The dog has dug it up 4 times then chewed its leaves off. Now it's potted in premium mix, I gave it seasol & plant starter and am crossing my fingers. It's the stick sheltering next to my mangosteen. Bets anyone? Been through too much punishment - just withered away Planted: 2012 Growing: In a Pot Sun/Shade: Full Shade Pollination: Self Pollination Was this review helpful?
