Dwarf Macadamia - A16 (Grafted) ^1/10

Comments: -

Maybe it is more subtropical than a warm temperate zone.  Likely it wasn't protected enough

Too much hard work for the value of the nut.... will stick to something that likes arid conditions until we can actually be there full time to care for the more delicate

Where are you fiona as I have an A16 growing well against a north facing brick wall and doing quite well here in Melb and Macca similar to Pinkaliscious in a more open spot doing well too -- see my edibles - markmelb

Thanks Mark. Mine in Streaky Bay SA. I think north wind was a factor and we don't have the conditions yet (shelter / heat mass) to grow subtropical at this time.

Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot (Seedling)

Comments: - Dwarf Red Shahtoot - March 2016.  It has doubled its height since planting last year, when planted it was really just a stick.  Maybe not as vigorous as the other mulberries but going steady.  Fruit late 2017 were just lovely.  Out of the Shatoots this one is my favorite

I've just recently bought this established lemon tree, I'm not 100% sure on the variety. I haven't grown citrus before and would appreciate any tips or advice on growing them. Best time to prune, good companions to grow in the pot with it etc

Dwarf Papaya Torpedo (Seedling) ^8/10

Dwarf Jaboticaba - Red Hybrid (Seedling) ^8/10

Planted: 2017

Water Given in: Spring

Dwarf Apricot - Fireball (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: - Fruits 6 weeks or more before Moorepark and before birds work out to ransack my garden. Big, fat, flavoursome fruit of vibrant colour. Shades chicken coop and twice the size of the much older Morepark nearby. All Daleys trees do better than those bought locally. Very satisfying being so quick from flower to fruit. My children won't eat apricots (weird) so they are all for me. Bought a preserving unit in anticipation of years ahead.

Dwarf Papaya Torpedo (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

Papaya on the left in the picture is the Dwarf Thai Torpedo and the Papaya on the right is the Southern Red ( Both from Daleys). The Dwarf Papaya arrived in a poor condition due to the courier service holding the poor thing over the weekend! by the time i recieved it, it had shed alot of leaves and the potting mix was bone dry.

They are now both in an "Air Prunned Pot" (430mm) and recieving alot of TLC to nurture them back to health. Still very excited to see these develop into larger specimens and to compliment my other Papaya's. 

Pots have excellent drainage and my own blend of potting mix, again regular dose's of Seasol and osmocote slow release fertilizer to help it along. The filtered sunlight from my semi-enclosed pergola is the perfect light for it here in Adelaide and will update progress of these Papaya in another 3 months or so.
