Comments

I've been trying to add this Jaboticaba Tree to my page but for some reason it isn't allowing me to add it. I've had itfor a few years now but need to change it's position due to other trees shading it out. Still no fruit either.

Dwarf Avocado - Lamb Hass (A) (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

Lamb Hass is a very productive & problem free tree. The fruit taste similar to Hass but are usually a little softer. The tree is quite compact for an avocado and I am growing mine in a 160L pot. This variety pollinates well on its own and is resistant to sunburn.

The tree is also much more upright compared to The spreading nature of a regular Hass tree.

Avocado - Fuerte (B) (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: - It's a Type B and easy to grow. It flowers a bit too early in our cooler climate so fruit set is not great and a few are cocktail avocados. I planted it for cross pollinating our Type A's - but it tends to flower a bit earlier than all of them. 
It is a very vigorous and spreading tree, be warned. This pic is ours at 4yrs old.
Sand improvement is really important here, for strong healthy growth and good fruiting. I use plenty of Clay Plus, fine coir and a good quality compost (make sure the compost pH is not alkaline before adding it) and lots of mulchy things - even large pieces of our fire wood/logs, half buried under the canopy and drip line, as avocados have shallow feeder roots that need protecting. Their leaf litter stays where it falls and I use a complete fertiliser that has trace elements/minerals added.
It's important that their topsoil remains moist in our summers - so this can mean watering daily in a heatwave. Drainage is not an issue in our deep sands, which is a bonus for avocados, being prone to root rots due to "wet feet"

Berry - Elderberry (Seedling)

Comments: - Had a small plant growing and flowering in the ground in Perth. Flowers were unscented and fruit never set. Transferred it to a 100 L planter bag with a submerged teracotta pot to supply constant moisture. Flowered almost contantly but only recently set a small amount of fruit.

Have three planted of differing varieties and have moved two to a better site (less wind). They seem to be happier now and growing well. I will move the Cosford next winter to the same area. I did originally plant them as a hedge but the wind burned them in summer and they just sat there suffering.No nuts as yet.
