Drumstick Tree ( Moringa ) (Seedling) 10/10 JenJen's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2 days 0hrs Comments: - Have always loved eating this as a curry, absolutely delicious! Planted: 2020 Height 30 Centimetres Growing: In the Ground Qty: 1 Sun/Shade: Medium Sun Water Given in: Summer After FruitingPollination: Self Pollination Fertiliser or Organics Used: Yet to fertilise. Pest Control: I used the baking soda and washing liquid method to get rid of a fungus it had. Worked a treat. Question: I have yet to really water it. It is quite happy in the ground but I have found it does not like too much water. So I only water it if it has been a very hot day in the high 20's. Was this review helpful?

[668 days 5hrs ago]Hi Inoxa1 Your feijoa won't be in a hurry to grow now where the season is already changing and the growing times is almost over except in the tropics. Expect a lot of growth during spring onwards. I have 3 feijoas bought last spring and they have all more than doubled their sizes. Be patient and take good care of it and you will be rewarded accordingly. Happy gardening :-)Innoxa1 says...

Ice Cream Bean 10/10 Rwan1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 412 days 6hrs Comments: - This tree has been growing succesfully for three years. It's been in the same pot and has grown into a nice, large tree. It was neglected somewhat for one winter and lost all of its foliage. After this, I pruned it to shape and nursed it through the remaining cold months. It returned with vigorous new growth and is taking off like a champ. The following summer, it flowered and still currently is. Hoping for fruit. Almost getting too big to bring inside through winter.

Blueberry - Blue Rose (Seedling) 9/10 BloodPlum1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 430 days 5hrs Comments: - Update - Just got my first harvest of blueberries! I did lose one to a bird but I quickly netted the plant and protected the rest. The taste of the berries is very subtle with a hint of sweetness and none of the tartness of the store-bought blueberries. _______________________________________________________ Previous update - lots of little fruits have started forming all over where the flowers used to be. I applied some acidic fertiliser once the berries stated started to develop. Looking forward to heaps of tasty fruit, provided the birds don't get to them first! _______________________________________________________ I bought this as a seedling from my local nursery this year. After a number of friends had failed attempts with their blueberry plants, I thought I'd give it a go. I did a lot of research before buying it as I had heard that they can be very fussy plants, but hardy, if they like the conditions they're in. It is important for the soil to be sufficiently acidic. I potted it in a large 50cm glazed pot, with camellia/azalea potting mix and mixed through peat moss (which is acidic). I mulched with pine needles and every now and again throw on ground coffee which also helps to lower the ph in the soil. It's also important to only water with rainwater as tap water can be quite basic with all the chemicals they add to the water these days. So far it seems to be doing well. It has grown quite vigorously even in the short time I have had it. It has dropped all its leaves in the winter. Melbourne has had a particularly cold winter so I'm hoping for a good crop this year! Update - just last week it started flowering following Melbourne's warmest August days on record! The flowers are stunning as you can see in the photo below. I've got my fingers crossed I get some fruit as the flowers are very sensitive to frost and reports of freezing winter days ahead Fruiting Months January, November, December Planted: 2011 Growing: In a Pot First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring SpringPollination: Self Pollination When I Fertilise: When Fruiting and Spring Organic Status:Organic Was this review helpful?
