| Hellooooooooooooooooo (yells out towards the back of the garden)
Rosellas, I am not having much luck with these beautiful fruit plants. If I put them in full sun they burn like there is no tomoro/ What do they like? Sun? Part shade? I need someone who is an accomplished grower at these bloody thing to help me and tell me what to do. What soils,fruiting periods and times etc etc. I live in SE QLD.
Please help email me at mrhoneycutt@internode.on.net or reply here please someone help.
cheers bella |

| Hi belladonna12 I had the best luck with rosellas under a giant fishtail palm and between the house and a fence where they got about 4 hours of direct sunlight. they were planted in well mulched sand (the block was mostly sand and clay before I brought in some large round bales of sugarcane mulch). the ones under the palm were "planted" in about 2' of sugar cane mulch with just the rootballs from the pot they were in. They thrived and produced heaps of rosellas before the grasshoppers finished them off. I'm in SEQ too. |

| My mother used to grow them in Caboolture in full sun and never had a problem and she neglected them a bit. If they're burning, try planting where they have shelter from the midday sun. |

| I grew them the past couple of years in Murrumba Downs (SEQ). They grew in my vege garden (so, well composted soil) and in full sun. Fantastic crop! (I did cover with shade cloth while they were little though.) Daniel |
