Oh wow that’s awesome @Maggie. I would be very excited by that. I have just set aside an area to try and grow citrus in the spring. 

[Maggie]

I am very excited @Teej a proud mama.

[CheerBear]

Oh it's so lovely @Maggie! I'd be proud mama also 😊

I'd like an apple tree I think. I love apples. Wonder if they grow in pots? 🤔

[Maggie]

A dwarf might @CheerBear, but I'm not sure if apples come in dwarf varieties.

Yay @Maggie it's doing really well! I moved my lemonaid tree out of the ground in my old place to a big pot here and it coped but only produced 3 fruit. I was delighted to see them

thats awesome @Maggie, I have a mini lemonade tree but no lemonades on it yet xx

Hello @Teej, @CheerBear, @Former-Member, @frog

[CheerBear]

I had to Google lemonade tree @frog and @Shaz51 - so cool! In looking them up I found fruit salad trees which I also had no idea existed 😮☺

@CheerBear.
I have in my garden:
* 4 different varieties of apples
* 4 different varieties of plums
* 2 different varieties of mandarins
* 1 orange
* 1 lemon
* 1 almond
* 1 pear
* 1 apricot (have to dig it out - keeps getting infected)
* 1 guava
* 1 loquat
* 1 black mulberry
* 1 black sapote (still in pot. Will plant in spring)
I have plans for a lot more fruit trees to go into my garden.
My front garden I'm going to turn into a native garden. And leave the backyard for fruit.
Would love a pistachio tree as I'd like to make my own pistachio ice cream. Yummm.
And I'd like some grape vines and passionfruit vines. Blackberries. Lots of berries.
It's slow going. Haven't planted any new fruit trees in the last few years.

[CheerBear]

Oh my goodness - your garden sounds delicious @utopia! 😁

[utopia]

It would be delicious @CheerBear - if I could keep the birds and more importantly, the QLD fruit fly away from my trees. Lol.
Am happy to share, but the Cockies take one bite out of an apple and then move onto the next one. Cheeky blighters.
Fruit fly arrived in my area of Victoria about 3 years ago. Since then it's been a real battle. Fruit fly netting is out of my price range
So just have to keep using baits.
