MOUNT COTTON, QLD

Pitomba

A great addition to my eugenia collection. I've only had it in the ground for about 6 weeks - new growth everywhere. Is very happy in the SEQ climate. It's in a semi shaded spot with grass clippings around the outside and I give it some water everyday. I think this little tree is going to be a winner. Can't wait to try the the fruit.

Pitomba

Grew slowly till put into a self watering pot then looks changed totally from a slow stragly shrub to dark green leaves that shoot all the time and also produced flowers and first fruit which was delicious, tasted like a very aromatic dried apricot.

Pitomba

Pitomba has fruited for the first time after planting 3 years ago. Now about 1.6 metres tall - fruit is small but very sweet to eat straight from tree. Birds love them too so I will have to net next crop.
