My Edible Fruit Trees: Dwarf Trees VIC

Dwarf Fire Bush

Comments: -

Hamelia patens Compacta - Dwarf Fire Bush

The small black fruits have an acidic, refreshing taste and in Mexico they are used to make a fermented drink. Can be grown in full sun or part shade but best if protected over winter in Melbourne.

Dwarf Japanese Pine Nut (Grafted)

Comments: - Japanese Stone Pine, Pinus pumila, also known as Siberian Stone Pine, dwarf type of about 2 or 3 metres. Bears cones and hence nuts at a young age and my tree is further enhanced for early bearing by being a grafted plant.

Santalum obtusifolium - Dwarf Sandalwood

Comments: - The dwarf Quandong tree, Santalum obtusifolium, is a member of the Sandalwood family that occurs along the east coast of Australia. it grows as a small bush, usually about 1 metre, so is ideal for pot culture or where there is limited space. It bears deep purple fruit prolifically which are said to be edible and the seeds appear identical to the more common Sandalwood nuts that are good eating.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

10/10 for rapid growth and surviving my nice and nephews... Planted this in September 2020 as a tiny Bunnings plant and by the start of Winter 2021, its about 7 foot tall! looking forward to it fruiting.

10.08.2022: This tree fruited 3 times in its first season. The 1st fruit was dissapointing as so tiny and I was contemplating taking it out. Im glad I waited as it fruited 2 more times and the berries were large and luscious. Now sitting pretty at around 12 feet. Beautiful uniform shape and its autumn leaves provide great garden mulch - VERY worthwhile tree for small gardens.

Dwarf Banana - Ducasse

Comments: - These were extremely difficult to locate, but now I have two in pots. Wanted to keep in pots so I could bring in over Winter if required.  Growing pretty well, sending out suckers.  Currently about 40cm high. Hoping inside will give them the chance to not stunt growth so much so we can get fruit a little quicker.  Like all bananas, hungry as hell though.
