Kaffir Plum (Seedling)

Comments: -

 Kaffir Plum - Harpephyllum caffrum. A small hardy tree from South Africa that does well in Melbourne. It produces sweet and sour fruit and is best eaten by squeezing the delicious juicy pulp from the thin skin straight into the mouth. Great for making lemonade too!

Where are you located and is your tree fruiting? I've read that the plant only fruits (well) in tropical areas.

I m in Sydney west. I have several jambolan plum trees growing in in india on my farm. They usually fruit after 4..5 yrs of planting. Also i bought this as few days ago only and is growing in a pot. Need to wait 3..4 yrs for fruit though. Once its eastablished it should fruit as in syd weather. Not sure about melbourne though

affected by frost in 2017, but is now coming back

Plum - Red seedling (Seedling) ^9/10

Comments: - Grew this plant from seed of fruit labelled as Red Plum, which might actually be Amber Jewel. The tree has now fruited and the result is a firm, very dark red plum with a good flavour. Crop has been limited, possibly due to need for cross-pollination, so have now planted another plum tree nearby for that purpose. Grows vigorously in Sydney.

Cenarrhenes nitida 'Native Plum'

Comments: -

Cenarrhenes nitida 'Port Arthur Plum'

A native of Tasmania, it's a large bush or small tree that  produces a fleshy plum-like fruit. Unsure of how long they take to reach fruiting age. The plant is intolerant of phosphate so I have avoided giving it any fertiliser. Seems to be growing well so far in a semi-shaded position.

Chinese Bird Plum (Cutting)

Comments: -

Although sometimes reported as deciduous, this plant has remained evergreen throughout Winter with continuous new flushes of growth . The small purple-black fruits are commonly eaten in China and some say that the leaves also have a plum scent. Easy to grow in Melbourne with little care required. Will be great if it can fruit here as it is another highly underutilised fruit.

Plum - Early Sweet (Seedling) ^10/10

Planted: 2013

Governors Plum - seedling (Seedling) ^4/10

Comments: - Quite an attractive bush, but can have very large thorns. I find the small fruit pleasant with a mild sweet flavour. Unfortunately this did not fruit for many years and STILL has very small amounts of fruit, despite there being three adjacent from one another, with beehives closeby.
