Dwarf Apple - Granny Smith (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

Granny Smiths are old fashioned I know. Did you hear they are a great companion for Pink Ladies and Pinkabelle? It's true. They are crisp and tangy for fruit salads and also give a pleasing twist to a home made Vege Juice with Carrot and Celery. You can also add a little Beetroot if you like. One lady I met adds a touch of Ginger instead. I may place a recipe on my hobby-site!

Dwarf Apple - Pink Lady ^8/10

Dwarf Apple - Pinkabelle PBR (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: -

I love my Pinkabelle....she's 8 months and has a nice formation with lovely leaves (before winter) I can't wait to pick some Pink Lady apples. This is a good choice! To me, it's much better than the Ballerina Apple Trees - though some gardeners might like them - the Pinkabelle grows 2 Metre x 1 Meter. It's more of a tree - it's nice to have branches!

My sister bought a 3 Way Grafted Apple Tree with Pink Lady, Fuji and Royal Gala (they are her favorites) and while it may be interesting to go for those, I have decided to buy the dwarf varieties.....a Pink Lady (that I have with the Pinkabelle) a Granny Smith for cross-polination and possibly a Fuji soon. For sometime, I wondered why all the fuss about Fuji apples until I tried some on sale one day and suprisingly, they tasted very similar to the Pink Lady apples. They are also very juicy! So they are a good option for pollinating Pink Lady apples all you fellow fans out there!

I didn't water it enough in heat wave.  It was however a great tree which did fruit for me with hand polinating.  I plan on getting another and taking more care of it.

Green leaves filling out the tree on 20 Nov 2012

Steady growth. Leaves filled out the branches. Applied blood and bones on dripping line on 1.3.13.

A year after planting, the tree is branching out. No fruits yet but looking forward to next year.

Little to report on this tree. The leaves were gone during winter and now (Oct 14) regrowing. The tree is almost two years old but still skinny as. Is this normal? Would like to see more branches extending.

This tree is truly established. Have grown much taller with more branches and leaves. Also started flowering. Hope to eat the first fruit from this tree this year. Have consistently fertilised during winter and spring.

Dwarf Apple - Red Fuji ^8/10

Dwarf Apricot - Fireball TM (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 Avocado - Wurtz (A) (Grafted)

Comments: -

Bought this a few months ago. Hasn't really thrived, planted in a mound in the ground. The leaves have slowly dropped off one by one. The stem is still green though and can see some small buds so fingers crossed it will bounce back. Think it may have gotten baked in the hot sun and water didn't seem to soak into the soil properly so not sure it was getting sufficient water. We have just pulled it up, put it in a large pot and moved it to a more sheltered position to protect it from the harsh afternoon sun. Hopefully it will make it through as I looooove avocados

Dwarf Lemon - Eureka (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

This is my latest citrus tree I am excited about....really healthy and a good formation. It was grown by Pocket Pockets but is worth mentioning. I am going to feed my citrus with SOILCHARGE by Alternative Gardening Solutions. I was strongly advised by Bunnings to use a Premium Citrus Potting Mix....they cost the earth and have questionable wetting agents in them plus 'Osmocote' - I used to like before I did Natural Health Research 20 Yrs. If you wish to know more, go to my hobby site in About Me. I have researched SoilCharge and happy with my discovery - I won't need what Bunnings recommended. I like to go Organic and you do need to be careful that there are plenty of Trace Elements. For me, SoilCharge satisfies that demand.

I found an interesting tree tree on the Net called Lemon Heaven recently that fruits in clusters. Only thing was, it's exclusive to PlantNet sold only in Queensland .....NSW and WA in 2016 so SA and VIC have to wait due to some quarantine laws (state to state). Makes me value my Eureka and Meyer all the more!

Question:

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 Lemon - Lisbon ^10/10

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer ^10/10

Comments: -

I love the pleasant open shape of my Myer Lemon. My research revealed to me recently that the Lemonicious has only a very short fruiting time whereas the Meyer fruits faithfully for most the year and the Eureka throughout the year....an ideal choice if you want two trees! The Dwarf Eureka is available here on the Daleys website - there's not much they don't have since I've been looking more closely.

For those who don't know, the Meyer Lemon is a cross between an orange and a lemon and is delightfully sweet and juicy. A once elderly friend of mine had a Meyer growing in one of those big wide enamel tubs in the corner of her patio that had heaps of lemons and is very pretty like my mum's Washington Navel.

For some of us, half a Meyer lemon is sufficient on it's own in a glass of water without sugar. It is nice and soothing with a little honey in hot water. If you add 1/2 tsp of fenugreek seeds - leave them there as you drink - this will help you during the winter months.

How long is it usually before you get lots of lemons growing on a Meyer Lemon tree? I'm aware the they fruit pretty profusely. About how many years before they start to do this please.
