B & T World Seeds have it listed for sale for 8 Euros per pkt. You'd probably have to run it past AQIS tho as the only Cudrania permitted at this stage is C. cochinchinensis. Maybe someone in Australia is already growing it, it is used as a food plant for silkworms.

Hi miracle,

Re: Cudrania tricuspidata Bureau
and Morus alba

It is an excellent edible gift from nature. I love to grow one in my garden as the fruits contain polyphenols. The antioxidative activities of water-soluble extracts from leaves of Morus alba (MA) and Cudrania tricuspidata (CT)are phenomenal. Special medicinal effects for ladies.

I am sure we can import the seeds legally from Korea or Japan. The fruits and leaves/extract are so popular to the Koreans and Japanese.

Had better inquire AQIS on the web about its regulations. I think it is permittable for sure.

I imported 'wasabia japonica' seeds from Japan a few years back, that are permitted officially by AQIS. Note that AQIS can give you an excellent service.

Keep in touch.
Cheers.

Benjamin

I found some option for water heating.

Vacumm Seal Tubes... Still work on this one.

Other option for thermal mass is tyres filled with soil behind the plants in need to collect the sun heat during the day and release it at night.

Pond, water area in the middle of plants for the same principle.

Jades? What Jades?

Hi Peter

I have Tilapias now, even better. They Breed easily and require very little attention. They still need warm water.

I have used a pool protection plastic to warm the tanks up and 2 x 300 Watts Heater in use for only 4 hours a day to supplement heating.

The Jade Perch have been eaten.

The creeks are full of T.mairiae and O.mosambicus here and although it is illegal they are a target of fisherman.As good as barra and mangrove jack and way better than flathead and whiting that you catch in the castnet also in intertidal creeks.Jade perch a really a green morph of barcoo grunter I believe and didn't take off in aquaculture.Some Cichlas would be good if you have a heated pond.I have 2 of them.

They are illegal to keep or catch and they are freshwater but range into brackish mangrove areas where they get bigger (to 1.5kg).All tilapia are african and they are warm water fish.They are some of the most farmed fish across the world.They handle brisbane fine and can be in cold places confined to hot water outflows of powerstations and the like.

In Victoria they are 'legally tollerated' as the water is too cold and would be impossible for this fish to survive any Victorian Creek or natural invironment.

I too have T.mairiae and O.mosambicus.

Hi Peter not sure were you could get them in SA... Maybe if you visit Melbourne... Or QLD, you could go fishing with Mike :)

There are some cichlids in Hazelwood powerstation cooling ponds vic. They can only survive in there because of the warm water.

If its mosquito larvae control you need the best little ( tropicals) by far are White Cloud Mountain Minnows. They survived in Sth west Vic. winters in my sunken ponds & they breed like crazy here in WA Attractive little fish not unlike neon tetras, mountain minnows respond well to hand feeding flakes etc. They do not fin nip other fish & will breed for you if they are given plenty of valisneria & other plants to spawn in.
Warning: Dont buy them from a heated tank at this time of year to introduce to ponds in Melb, Adelaide, Canberra etc. They need gradual temp. change so late spring is best!

Hi Sternus

The best Nursery growing seedless, spineless, and self-fertile Che plants is the one in Belgium, De Moerbeiboom where they are grafted onto Maclura pomifera (Osage Orange I believe). It's the first one on the list. Also one in Germany.

http://www.fruitiers-rares.info/articles-A123a128/article126-non-French-nurseries-for-rare-fruits.html

Wish they could grow them here!

Sorry, I can't remember where I got the seeds, probably from some place online overseas. If you have a look on the internet I think you should be able to find a seller as they are not that uncommon.

Cheers!

Out of curiosity as this reminds me of our native Maclura cochinchinensis just orange fruits instead of red, does anyone grow this or have they tasted the fruits?

Apparently it's one of the less recognized bush foods here but a good tasting one, so maybe an interesting alternative as it's a native?

It sounds like these are the seedless, spineless, and self-fertile Che plants that are cultivated in the U.S. and Europe. They should be grafted onto Maclura pomifera (Osage Orange) and are the only form of Cudrania that is worth growing.

I didn't think they were available here as I have been looking for this grafted type for years. Is there a nursery in Australia that is grafting them and supplying them commercially now? Thanks.

Hi Linton,
Mine are not self fertile, I have a male and female. I got them from a friend who most likely brought seed in a long time ago. He described them as more of a curiosity than tasty so probably not the most superior variety, though it might just be down to a matter of taste. Hopefully I get fruit this year, already have a couple Maclura seedlings growing incase it's worth grafting.

Hi Nia,

I tried to graft a couple last year but was a bit late and they failed. Will try again this year but I have very few rootstocks, need to get more going. You don't really want them on their own roots as they will sucker everywhere.
