Lime - West Indian Lime: dwarf (Seedling) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5181 days 6hrs Comments: - Dwarf variety of lime. Still in its nursery pot because I have now bought a new apple tree which is going in the spot I had reserved for my lime. I will probably put it in a 50 ltr pot as my lemon is doing very well in its pot. Decided to plant my lime in its original place between my Granny smith and a Pinkabelle tree. It is now doing so great with 10cm of new growth and it looks so much healthier now.

Dwarf Apple - Granny Smith (Grafted) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5181 days 6hrs Comments: - Dwarf Granny Smith purchased early Feb 2010 to aid pollination for my pinkabells, and of course to eat and cook with :) It is nearly at full height and I know it will produce well as it had fruit when I purchased it from Tass1, but I removed them before transplanting.

Lemon - Lisbon (Grafted) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5181 days 6hrs Comments: - I did want the dwarf variety, but so hard to find, and when I did, so very expensive.

Pomegranate - Elcite (Grafted) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5181 days 6hrs Comments: - Purchased on the 5th of December as an older plant, not sure how old, waiting for a bigger pot at the moment. Potted up into its new pot early January 2010. Looking good, hoping for flowers next season.. 28 Feb - my pomegranate is flowering... yay.. I am very happy as I thought not long ago that it was sick as some leaves had yellow spots. But I was reassured by members of this forum that the spots looked more like a deficiency rather than a disease.

Longan - Seedling (Seedling) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Perhaps a tie with my Pomegranate in relation to being my favourite fruit tree. Has some sun damage on the lower leaves and some new growth sprouting out the top. I have sprayed all my fruit trees with 'Drought shield' from Yates, and it is working really well to protect new growth and keep moisture in the plant on very hot days. I would recommed this product to others.

Pepino - Kendall Gold (Cutting) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Planted in an existing garden bed on the 5th December. Already has flowers, so hoping to get some fruit set. Lots of flowers on both of my Pepino's, but only has set due to strong winds blowing off all the flowers. Looking at ways to provide a wind break.

Dwarf Apple - Pinkabelle PBR Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Planted 15th of November this year, did flower very well, but they were lost in the strong winds. Hoping that they will stick next season when the foliage is thicker. Unfortunately it has powdery mildew, which it had when I purchased it, but as a newby I didn't know anything about pests and diseases...

Yes | No | Report CommentsBrad1 says... [5250 days 1hrs ago]there's lots of possible things for powdery mildew - apparently milk works well. I was surprised to find some in my courtyard (despite no spray watering) but haven't treated it yetDiana says... [5236 days 14hrs ago] One part milk to nine parts water is a preventative. If you can see symptoms, you probably need something stronger. Milk didn't do much for me, but regular seaweed solution has really helped in my garden. Diana.Mish says... [5226 days 4hrs ago] Thanks guys. I treated with Copper only twice and have found the hot weather to be more beneficial than spraying... fingers crossed for next season.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
Blackberry - Murrindindi (Cutting) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Planted in a pot in early December 09, then replanted a few weeks later in the ground.

Raspberry - Tullameen (Seedling) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Growing very well, and I have decided to 'tip layer' both my raspberries while they are growing so vigourously. Sun/Shade: Full Sun Water Given in: Spring Pollination: Self Pollination Question: Tip Layering - Do I need to water the tips as they are in the dirt, or is it enough to just water the main plant? Was this review helpful? Yes | No | Report CommentsBrad1 says... [5213 days 9hrs ago]you don't need to water the tips, but the branch where its layering must have moisture for roots to form. I think you'll find berries quite easy* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |

Grape - ruby seedless (Cutting) Mish's Edible FruitsUpdate: 5225 days 11hrs Comments: - Planted on the 18th November this year, in a pot next to my pergola. Hoping that it will grow up the side and at least cover some of the top, as I have no cover because they keep getting torn off by the wind.

Yes | No | Report 3 of 5 people found this review useful CommentsDiana says... [5223 days 11hrs ago]Hi Mish, I love your pergola. Grapes are excellent for growing over a pergola, as they have dense, large leaves in summer and they don't tend to drop the leaves during the growing season, also they live a long time. It feels about 5 degrees cooler when I walk under my grape from another part of the garden. Diana.Brad1 says... [5222 days 10hrs ago] If you want it to get up on the pergola, consider how you might encourage it to get there. e.g. how many stalks / branches do you need? I'd prune any you don't. e.g. maybe keep 3 or 4 only , 1 or 2 to go up, 1 left, 1 right. When they are in place you can tip prune to get branching. A framework you designed should make later pruning for fruit easier. Alternatively if you want it to spread through the wire, you could spread out the branches on it and tip prune often.* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
