My Edible Fruit Trees: Vine

Grape - Carolina Black Rose ^10/10

Comments: -

A fantastic shade plant, it looks beautiful. Does not go dormant until early August, and only for a month. About 15 bunches of grapes in it's first year, 30 second year, only six in its third year. I also have a Maroo seedless on an archway, which fruits about three weeks earlier than the Carolina Black Rose. Maroo seedless is sweet, Carolina Black Rose is quite sour.

Wow Diana, fabulous picture of your grapes. I also bought one from daleys and had it in the ground...first season. Do you happen to have more pictures of it? I would like to learn how you train it onto the roof? Can you send your pics to au0rey @hotmail.com I am having a bit of headache how i can do it. It is grown against the patio support pole. Has it been disease free since you had it? The young new leaves of mine come out curling and distorted. Do you have any idea why it is like that? Thanks!

Thanks, au0rey, I have answered your questions in the passionfruit thread of the forum.

Hi Diana, this spring my vine finally put on flower clusters and loads of them. I am sure yours do as yours seem to grow very similarly to mine, on the roof beams. Do you trim off any extra shoots so that fewer clusters can have better fruit development or do you just leave them alone? Thanks!

Hi Diana, can you tell me what colour your CBR grapes are when they first appear? If green, when do they turn black? And are your grapes oval or round when young? I have a funny feeling that mine may not be carolina black rose.

Hi au0rey, I prune off excess growth of leaves and shoots during summer as it is very vigorous. The grapes start off green and go black when ripe. Mine are just starting to turn. I have a Maroo seedless (a seedless sibling of the Carolina Black Rose apparently), which is already all ripe. They are both pretty round.

Thanks Diana, hopefully mine will turn round and black and be CBR.

Muscadine Grape - Adonis (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: - Liked the idea of a grape that's suited to the hot humid western Sydney climate and is able to handle humidity without the need for spraying. Not disappointed by this native grape of Texas and Florida. Tough skins but very tasty distinctive flavour. Adonis is large and juicy ... very fleshy, with pips. Puts on rampant growth, so make sure it's pruned each year (autumn/winter). A helpful tip: I Googled for info on how to manage muscadine grapes successfully. Lots of help from USA ... YouTube videos. Look for the vids from Ison and follow their pruning and growing techniques.

Kiwifruit - Bruno (female) (Cutting) ^5/10

Comments: - Removed. It didn't get enough chill here to flower reliably - even though Bruno needs far less chill than Hayward and should have been ok here. I actually prefer the Kiwiberries anyway.Large vines that need a very strong trellis and resent hot weather and especially hot winds. Need a great deal of water on hot days. Not a water-wise plant here. Doesn't like any alkalinity either - gets chlorosis readily. 
Needs some shade here and lots of sand improvement to increase it's water holding capacity.

Planted: 2014

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid lovers. Little and often during the growing season.

Passionfruit - Enduro Goldl (Cutting) ^8/10

Comments: - This is a new hybrid variety here. Produces huge yellow fruits that have a lovely flavour and sweetness. Starts fruiting in it's first season and prolifically. The fruit did tend to take awhile to ripen though and many were affected by the rainy and cool weather in late Autumn/winter. The vine was in a spot that was probably not ideal for winter. I have started a new vine in a much warmer/drier and sunnier (for winter) spot and will see if this works better.  

Planted: 2017

Sun/Shade: Full Sun

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Slow release organic chook manure pellets, a couple of small side dressing of potash in summer, sometimes Acid lovers fertiliser. Mostly try not to overdo the nitrogen.

Passionfruit - Sunshine Special

Pollination: Self Pollination

Passionfruit - Banana (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: - Not as tasty as a real passionfruit - but I like them anyway. They fruit when not much else is around, here, so a welcome change from the usual early spring lack of fruit variety. They need a cool root run here and shade from midday onwards in our hot summers. Being so early they beat the fruit fly season also.

First Fruited: 1 Years from purchase in pot

Sun/Shade: Low Sun

Pruned By: 50% in

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: Balanced Acid lovers alternating with slow release organic chook manure pellets. Little and often.
