winter fruit
Hi, I have been looking everywhere for info on what I can plant that will
fruit in Winter, but can't seem to find anything. Does this mean that there aren't any winter fruits?? I would have thought there would be something.... Thansk & regards Mark. |

winter fruit
In Sydney the yellow fruiting loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) fruits in
late winter and mulberries in spring (if you can wait that long).

winter fruit
I have just planted a Tamarillo tree. Best of my knowledgedge is that they
are semi-tropical, although people's opinion of what's semi tropical differ. One member of the newsgroup said that the tamarillo will grow anywhere tomatoes grow. Tamarillos are widely commercially grown in Nth NZ Fruit ripens in autumn/winter. "M&M" wrote in message ...

I would have thought there would be something.... You don't say where you are. I remember from my school days that the fivecorner fruit ripens during Winter. The fruit is green coloured, not very flavoursome. The fruit is about the size of a baby pea and contains a seed almost the same size. :-( It's a small native shrub. I don't think you'd want to bother growing it, certainly not for the fruit. The geebung tree might be a better proposition. It's fruit are larger, about the size of a cherry. The pip is not quite as big as the fruit. :-) It's a native, and is frost tolerant. You roll the fruit around between your molars, gradually rasping the flesh off the pip. I'm the first to admit that this eventually loses its novelty. From both of these natives you collect the fruit *after* it has dropped. -- John Savage (newsgroup email invalid; keep news replies in newsgroup) |
