| I have one more spot left in my garden for a fruit tree. What grows well in Brisbane? I already have mango, avocado, lychee, macadamia, lime (I think) and a few tropicals. I have heavy clay soil, but it is on a slope (well drained).
I have a fig tree that is doing very poorly. It only gets a few leaves each summer and they get eaten. It had three fruit this summer but they went missing too. |

I planted Tropical Nectarine "Sundowner" nearly 2 years ago, its growing ok so if you can keep the fruit fly away they are a nice eating fruit. I pulled the Honey Murcott Mandarine out as they grew like little bullets, and if the Navelina Navel Orange does not produce fruit this year its going too..
I have clay soil also so my trees are all in raised beds...MM. |

| mulberry? banana? citrus? pawpaw? olive? what is your favourite fruit - plant that. or go for something more exotic - chocolate pudding fruit, sweetsop, soursop, custard apple, carambola, cashew.... I've even got theobroma cacao growing just a hundred kms north of brisbane...no gurantee that will fruit, but it's fun trying |

| I have mulberry, soursop, lime, pawpaw. I think bananas would be a good addition. I also considered an olive but I don't know what to do with the fruit. Also, would it be too wet for olives in Brisbane (once this drought breaks)? |
