@@myexoticfoodplants6727 thank you very much. An update on the fruitlets, about 70% have still held on and looking strong. Yes I read somewhere that the paw paw evolved before butterflies so they rely on flies which is why the flowers are the colour of meat and the scent is like meat too
@@joestropicals6760 hi Joe, yes I was going to do just a paw paw video but I wanted to film the roseapple while it was still in new growth flush because it looks so tropical and amazing. Thank you fir noticing mate! Cheers
@@srishdhanu thank you. It survived winter again and it got bigger but it loses its leaves in winter. When the new leaves get larger I will provide another update. Thank you for your comment 👌
@UrbanBounty my friend Ayesha has the lewinski variety actually flowering here in Brisbane, pity she doesn't have a pollinator, lol. No one else I know has been able to keep them alive here. I think she grew it as an experiment
Great to see a high fruit set Paul, i would expect a few to be shed during the growing season. With your longer, warmer growing season I'd expect you to get larger fruit than I get here. I'm sure you posted that video to tease George lol 😉, he's been disappointed with his so far. I think his need more feeding and more watering as they are slow to get going as young trees
@@lyonheart84 gday mate, thanks for the advice on shedding. I was worried about the weight actually if they all hung on. I didn't know George was trying NA Paw Paw too.. I wonder where he got them from. I got these 2 very mature from a nursery in the bush that even the owner had lost track of. In hindsight, a very lucky find
Omg you’re in Melbourne! Sorry just got to the end of the video. Could you please have. Backyard tour open to interested parties please, I’d love to register and visit to understand how you are managing to grow these exotic fruits in Melbourne?! Absolutely amazing!
@@jengsterinc1176 G'day and thank you for the encouragement 😀 Are you in Melbourne too? Eventually I will do garden tours when everything is matured and bearing fruits but for now I can give advice on anything you need. My email is jaboticaba1978@gmail.com if you have any questions. Which varieties would you be interested in growing? In about 3 weeks I will film a complete garden tour, there are almost 100 plants now. Property size is just under 700sqm including house, carport and sheds. Cheers
@@madrabbitwoman good point, I will edit the title to read "north american paw paw" Sorry to hear that you lost yours. I got mine from yamina rare plants in monbulk, Victoria
@LoganShelton-rh3lp that's very true! Yes we are currently in daylight savings time for another 5 months. Apparently, from what I have read, our climate here in Melbourne is very similar to San Francisco in the USA 🇺🇸
Nice fruit set on the pawpaws, Paul! Those trees are really starting to take off now 👍
Yes they are and they can get as tall as they like in that position too! Cheers Peter
Wow very exciting
You’ll be impressed with them
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits thanks mate.
Of all the fruit trees, these were the hardest to source and I can't wait fir fruit 👌
Great update! Good to see the rose apple going strong.
The pawpaw are getting big!
@@TemperateTropicalDownUnder thanks mate! In the position the paw paw are in they can get very tall
@ I bet.
I’m sure you can’t wait for a taste.
Looking forward to that
Pawpaws looking fabulous. Great to know that they can be pollinated by flies.

Paul, your Rose Apple looks beautiful and looks happy in its new spot in ground.
I looks like your going to get quite a few tasty Pawpaws 😋 🙌🏾🌱

Great job
Looking forward for the update on murunga tree
@@srishdhanu thank you.
It survived winter again and it got bigger but it loses its leaves in winter.
When the new leaves get larger I will provide another update. Thank you for your comment 👌
That's great.
It survived the severe winter this time
Awesome Paul, you will have to plant the seeds and graft them up. Im sure there would be demand for them.
Gday mate, yes I think so too. Still quite hard to find these plants
@UrbanBounty my friend Ayesha has the lewinski variety actually flowering here in Brisbane, pity she doesn't have a pollinator, lol. No one else I know has been able to keep them alive here. I think she grew it as an experiment
Just reminded me I have last years in the fridge and they’ve been in there long enough to plant now
@Coolclimatetropicalfruits gday Neil.
Do you have to give them a spell in the fridge to germinate?
@@UrbanBounty yes they need cold stratification I think it was 3 months needed

Dude that’s crazyyy! Which city are you in? Would you have a garden tour I’d love to learn from you.

Took me a bit to realise you were talking about american paw paw
I lost mine last summer ("helper" decided to turn off my watering system) and haven't been able to obtain another 😢
@@madrabbitwoman good point, I will edit the title to read "north american paw paw"
Sorry to hear that you lost yours.
I got mine from yamina rare plants in monbulk, Victoria
That'll be a bumper crop if all those fruitlets hold 😀
@@VirginiaFruitGrower the first crop too. Fingers crossed 🤞
What ia your current season?
@@LoganShelton-rh3lp hello, we are in late spring. It is 3 weeks before summer 👌
@UrbanBounty wow. Crazy how big the world is! Do y'all have daylight savings time?
@LoganShelton-rh3lp that's very true! Yes we are currently in daylight savings time for another 5 months.
