Fruiting trees in Melbourne?
Hello all.
I'm considering putting some fruit trees in the front yard here in Melbourne but I've got no idea what might be suitable or grow well with good yield in this climate. We had blood plums and apricots years ago and they seemed to do ok. The neighbours have apples and they seem ok too. Are there any ideal fruit trees though? Cheers all Peter |

They cost a fortune in the shops. |

Try the Digger's Club -- they're in Dromana. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but there is nothing worth being eager or vigorous about." Francis Adams, The Australians, 1893. |

I live in Boronia at the foot of the Dandenongs. In this general area apples (Golden & Red Delicious, Granny Smiths) all do well as do pears, Nashi pears, plums, lemons, grape fruit, quinces, apricots even almonds if you can keep the parrots away. Talk to your nearest good nursery, they should be able to help with those varieties that will do well in your area. |
