Comments: -

where I live is border line for this low chill variety. Over the recent drought all my trees were left to fend for themselves so I'm still waiting to see when/if this tree will fruit. Winter wasn't that cold this year so no fruit this year.

My apricot has flowers all over it at the moment. As soon as the rain stops, I'll go down the back and take some photos.

Hi Zeni, How is your apricot going now? I am encouraged to see the fantastic things in your garden, as you are in Indooroopilly, and it looks like a suburban-sized garden like mine (I am in Kenmore). You have a few plants that seem hard to find (umboshi, white pomegranate, key lime). I have been looking in nurseries for West Indian limes for a while with no luck. They are supposed to have an intense flavour. Nurseries in Brisbane seem to have Tahitian, Kaffir and Finger limes only. Diana
