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.

Netted when noticed fruit fly interested. Draped fruit fly netting around most of vine. Grapes were saved and had good harvest ... 6-8kgs on the one vine. Will be harder to do next season ... vine will cover larger area.

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.

Vine lost its leaves in April , before any real cool weather. After a record Cairns winter with several nights down to 7c bud burst was slow, no sign of life till early October. Mid November, vine is growing vigorously and there are tiny flower clusters on 1/2 a dozen lateral shoots. Will it fruit in Cairns? watch this space!

All the flowers have fallen off now. Was it the 42c heatwave in late Nov or just that the vine is still too small ? Cordons are growing vigorously but only a handful of lateral buds have sprouted. Maybe next year?
