[4997 days 13hrs ago] hi daisy sorry for the 2 month delay don't spend enough time on updates miracle fruit seems to like acidic soil , partial shade, no frost, and protection from sa's hot northerly winds in feb etc even mine during a return to a cool winter have survived ( have lost their healthy greeness ) i expect with some fertiliser & warmer weather they will improve remember they are a tropical african species so they will need care in sa cheers* You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy |
