Lemonade Berry Rhus Integrifolia

Comments: - Rhus integrifolia is an extremely drought tolerant plant native to California. While a few Rhus species can be used to make lemonade, R. integrifolia is the only true Lemonade Berry. It produces pink berries that are steeped in water to make a refreshing lemonade flavoured drink.The roasted berries can be used as a coffee substitute.

Dragon Fruit - Lemonade (Grafted)

Lemon Drop Mangosteen (Seedling)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in May 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

We will see how it copes with winter in Toowoomba - may have to bring it inside on cool nights.

Spring 2020: After being brought in every night during winter, now growing well.

September 2021: Both died over winter in Toowoomba (left outside). Interestingly, the Achachas survived.

Dwarf Lemon - Meyer (Grafted)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - Has had one flush of growth since potting - new growth was damaged by citrus leafminer. 

Spring 2020 - Flowered and set fruit, however later dropped them.

September 2021 - Now in 25L pot. Flush of new growth & flowers now (will knock these off), however has been slow growing - likely due to allowing to fruit last year and growing in a pot. Survived 2x Toowoomba winters with no damage (under shade cloth so frost couldn't settle).
