Fig - St. Dominique de Viollette (Cutting)

Comments: -

Is an Heirloom variety of French origin. Has Violet coloured fruit with pink flesh, and supposedly excellent flavour.

At the moment (Sept.), the current leaves are lobe-less unlike my other figs, and look similar to mulberry leaves (I guess they are in the same family.) Maybe as plant grows, leaves will look more typical fig like.

This tough little plant has survived in a tube stock pot all year and remains that way as I haven't found a home fro it yet. Hmm... feeling a little guilty now.

Olive - St Helena (Grafted)

Comments: -

Now here is plant with a rich and interesting history. The original Helena Olive was planted in the late 1800%u2019s on St Helena Island, located off the coast of Brisbane in Moreton Bay. This island operated as a high security prison from 1867 to the 1920%u2019s, and is today a heritage National Park. The original olive made its way from Europe to the Island, via a magistrate, and has continued
to thrive in the testing Moreton Bay environment. This plant offer's exceptional fruit and award winning olive oil. The Helena Olive will fruit in the South East Queensland climate, which for an olive is impressive in itself. Suitable for in the garden or on the patio in a pot, the Helena Olive is a beautiful looking tree. Does not like wet feet.

I've just got this double flowering white pomegranate and planted it out last weekend. I've seed the trees used as an ornament in Japan so waiting so see what happens. Apparently they also set edible although small fruit.

pomegranate - dwarf ^5/10

Comments: -

This is a lovely plant, and so easy to look after.  I had about 10 fruit off it last year but they were very sour.  I have since been told the dwarf varieties are more for looks than for the fruit, so wished I had known that before I paid nearly $50 at Bunnings.  I had it in a pot, but will find a place in the garden amongst other ornamentals for it.

Pomegranate - Yellow (Seedling) ^6/10

Comments: - Purchased this heirloom as a seedling from Diggers a couple of years ago. Doesn't appear to love either the spot, soil or climate (my Kazake pomegranate is right next to it, and is thriving??). Am not expecting any fruit yet, as only second year. Lost all leaves in Brisbane Winter but has come back nicely through sping and summer. starting to prune now. Sorry - difficult to see in the pic.
