Hey mate, sometimes I go up to Fernland at Yandina, but Farmcraft at coopers Plains have them in stock most of the time, and if not they get an order from Ferland every week so can order it in

@@dougs_urbanfarm Oh yep, I have found at Fernland... I am gonna have a look at this Farmcraft. Thanks mate.

Hey mate I probably lose 1 in 10 plants, the pots they come in will need watering almost twice a day as they are grown in rocks. Have to be very careful repotting by cutting the plastic pot up while held over the new pot.

Yeah I think we ended up clearing 30 acres.

Yes Brett, more than I need. Space for some cowa and goats.

Cheers G, it's got a long way to go, might be done by the time you visit.

@dougs_urbanfarm sweet!

Thanks Heather, I will definitely document this project whether it succeeds or fails! Never know if you don't give it a go.

@Coolclimatetropicalfruits haha Neil, it does look like a barren planet, but unfortunately there was no other way to get rid of the lantana, there was nothing growing under it, no grass, nothing

@desidownunder2085 yeah Bilal, I will net the whole slope where I plant trees. No trees will go in the ground for a year or so, need to mulch and grow some shade trees first and get my bore put in. It will be slow going but I'll get there

@@dougs_urbanfarm Looks like a lot of work ahead. Keep us updated!

Hey Christian, I bought most of my stonefruit feom daleys nursery online. Our club meetings are 2nd Thursday of every second month at Albion peace centre. Next one is on the 13th of February next year. Mssg me at Doug Hanning on fb if you want more details

About 6 years old

I haven't counted the days, but they take about the same as my yellow megalanthus

I love dark star and condor.

@ I think I heard something about condor but dark star is new for me

Cheers mate, it's changed a bit since then, I had a guy come and do a video recently, this is link ua-cam.com/video/xc8C2doGKdI/v-deo.htmlsi=6ZtWb8FWo2fRYCXM

The last couple of years have been very good for growing, very consistent rain.

Yeah mate I don't give much nitrogen, I mainly use a rock mineral fertiliser then give them a good amount of potash in spring

Yeah Neil, it's amazing how theycannopen up the flowers

How old are you Paul! Was like this for me in the 90s.

But their busyness is so relaxing to watch!

They pile up on the flower b4 it's open trying to force their way in, must be some good sauce!

Cheers mate, I'm a dragonfruit novice,as I have so many other trees to care for!

I wish for more room too!

I think I'll manage!😉

Bugger, it's so annoying when you try to do the right thing by the trees and they spit it your face! Hope you get some fruit and hope you see them.😉

@dougs_urbanfarm Had a very nice but pot bound E.Mattosii that flowered heaps no fruit set - I up potted and can't remember if I gave too strong powerfeed and it's leafless now but sort of appears to be showing regrowth I hope but I did have a couple cuttings of it I struck luckily 😲😎 Just found flowers on Araza.

It's not for everyone, but no other fruit produces a bulk amount of fruit at this time of year from late Sept to early Nov.

@ like I can talk - I grow mangosteens 😂 I guess we pick our battles - I can appreciate the persistence

@Randy-lg1qo do you grow many other garcinias? I have 16 species, actually going to do a talk on them this Thursday at the sub tropic fruit club.

@ ok, I’ll try to come to that. My crown jewel was warrenii when I lived in Darwin, but also managed to get purple to fruit (kept it sheltered in a palm grove and irrigated throughout dry season)… xanthochymus is the best looking imo. Just preparing land for my new Brisbane property at this stage and Achacha is the only one that has secured a position at this stage - gonna try more Australian oddities like Hicksbeachia. Impressive number of Garcinia species on your part - interested

@Randy-lg1qo awesome mate, it's at Albion peace centre this Thursday night around 630ish. I have about 30 achachas on one of my trees atm. Can't wait till I'm picking buckets

Lol yeah sugar cane mulch does that! I just use treelopper mulch. If you find someone in your area they sometimes drop a load off for a carton! I always say happy to take palm mulch, it's good mulch and they can't sell it

@@dougs_urbanfarm I will try that =) Cheers mate

Thank you for your kind words!

Cheers Leon, we got a lot this year, I've pressure canned 20 quart jars of peaches and peachcots. I love eating these heated up with some cream in the middle of winter.

@ sounds great. I only got a few peaches off my trees. As they are still young trees. But they tasted so good.

I've seen them fruit from 4 to 6 years of age, so another couple of years and you should be sweet!

I have some traps but still net every tree that gets fruit fly in them

Hey mate I usually only have people come and visit once I have known them for a while. I'm in the western suburbs. Our next sub tropic fruit club meeting is on the Thursday the 12th of December at the Albion peace centre. Starts around 6:30pm.

I'm not sure, I don't hand pollinate. Do you get fruit spotting bug there? I know they can cause small fruit to drop.

Also I do put zinc around mine, apparently they like a bit of zinc

You are in a prime spot to grow stonefruit, it's a pain to have to net the trees but doesn't take too long, worth it for all the delicious fruit.

This fruited at 4 years of age.

That's a shame they are very nice.

That sounds awesome, I will definitely try that next time I get some fruit. Mine is very slow growing as well. I follow a lot of Brazilian youtube channels as they have lots of jabuticabas. I have almost 40 varieties I love them! You should come to one of the sub tropic fruit club meetings held at the albion peace centre. Next meeting is 12 of December at 6pm. Mesg me at Doug Hanning on fb if you want further details.

@@dougs_urbanfarm That's nice! I won't be in Brisbane that week but definitely interested to join you guys on the next one. I will message you on fb, Cheers!
