hamishh34 45 Report post Posted January 23 Nice fruit trees mate! Cant wait to get on some land like that. I have been dabbling in trees after reading the quote the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is now. My 'rarer' stocklist is: Abiu Yellow Jaboticaba Green Sapote Mamey Sapote White Sapote Miracle Berry Icecream bean Blue Java Banana Canistel Kwai Muk Sapodilla Carambola Mexican Cream Guava Garcinia Intermedia Imbe All the rest that I have are more common varieties (figs/citrus/bananas/dragonfruit etc). Where do you keep you Jaboticaba? Full sun or part shade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the Jaboticaba in the top and bottom small paddocks, they are full sun for most of the day, but get afternoon and mid morning shade seem to be going really well at this stage Nice list 1 hamishh34 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From under shade cloth to direct Rockhampton sun had it shell shocked. Didnt think about that once I got it home. But I have found mine has done well in half shade. Hasnt grown much height wise but has become very dense with shoots towards the base. Probably for the best since the fruit set on branches and trunk. Been checking out a few of your youtube vids and your property is looking mint. Nice collection you have. You'll never have to buy fruit again in a few years. How many acres do you have if you dont mind me asking? 1 raycam01_au reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Gympie sun is the same so you have to keep an eye on it, we have a large Bismark palm in the front driveway, I have a mate with some machinery that will be coming in a couple of weeks to dig it out and the large rocks around it, then we will dig down about 900 and I will get that ready for our Avocado tree thanks for the kind words, we are just under 2acres which is a nice size without going nuts, plenty of space to play with 1 johnbetta reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QldMick 271 Report post Posted January 28 I know people on here used to breed different kinds of Rhads, I'm not very familiar with them though. All I've caught out my way are Murray Darling Rainbow Fish. I think If you can pm grubby on here he may be able to help you. There is also crimson spotted rainbows, olive perchlets, fire tail gudgeons and empire gudgeons on gumtree. 1 raycam01_au reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
