So if you want to grow fruit like this in your home garden.
We have got this in an exclusion orchard and Loquats
can be prone to fruit fly and birds love them, bats love them
So they can also seed around in the bush so what you
need is a fruit fly exclusion net and what this does is it
stops the fruit fly from infecting your fruit and it also
means that your the one that is going to be eating
all this fruit so if you wanna be picking and eating
beautiful fruits like this it's a good idea to get yourself
a fruit fly exclusion net and net your tree.
So you can keep your tree compact by cincturing and
by pruning so when this tree finishes cropping
we're going to cut it back hard.
We will actually reduce the size of this tree by about
half and let it regrow.

Grafted Loquat Nagasakiwase - How we got our best crop ( Fruits in the Spring )

Loquat Nagasakiwase Fruit Tree

Video: Loquat Nagasakiwase Fruit Tree

Transcript from Video:
Look at these beautiful fruits now this is a Nagasakiwase Loquat and it's a beautiful tree as you can see it's just loaded with these great bunches of beautiful Apricot coloured fruits and there's one I've cut open. 3 seeds inside it but still plenty of flesh and they are really beautiful sweet fruit, juicy and just delicious. They've got a little bit of fur on the skin but you can just rub that fur off with your hands and get a nice shiny fruit. So you eat the skin and all, really lovely to eat fresh off the tree. Now the loquat is an old traditional fruit and it's a really hardy tree and this tree is fruiting this beautiful crop in Spring but the reason we have this massive crop on in the Spring is because Greg has been cincturing this tree in the Summer. So last summer he cinctured this tree and what this does is it stores all the starches and food and it gives it a bumper spring crop so this is our biggest and best ever Spring crop so we are really excited about these fruit and everybody loves them so people have been down here picking them for weeks we are really, really enjoying them. So this is the Nagasakiwase loquat.

Lilly Pilly Edible Hedge the Bushfood Riberry (Syzygium luehmanii)

Lilly Pilly Edible Hedge Riberry

Video Transcript
This beautiful hedge here is a Riberry Hedge, Syzigium luehmanii and it is a perfect bushfood for hedging. You can see it has this gorgeous leaf flush which is what this is primarily grown for. So this hedge is cut back by using pruning sheers and what that does is it keeps this juvenile leaf flush coming on this hedge so it doesn't fruit so if you wanted your hedge to fruit and produce a massive crop of fruits you'd need to use your cincturing tool to cincture these plants and then you'd actually encourage flowering and fruiting. So if you want a fruiting hedge cincture your trees to keep them small and dwarf them and if you want  a beautiful leaf flush use your pruning sheers to hedge them.

Grafted vs Seedling Fruit Trees - Which to choose? (1/2)

Grafted Fruit Trees vs Seedling Fruit Trees

(Video Transcript)
So a really common question here at Daleys is what is the difference between a grafted plant and a seedling and I'm just going to show you a couple of examples. So I have here a  seedling Feijoa so this plant is grown from seed and there's going to be a lot of variation between each tree so if you had a 100 trees that were each grown from seed the fruit that each tree produces is going to be slightly different so they don't necessarily grow true to type is what we call seedling variation and they're all genetically different so if you wanted to cross pollinate trees 2 seedlings are going to cross pollinate or you can also cross pollinate a seedling tree with a grafted plant such as this. Now if you look at these 2 plants and this one is a grafted tree, this one is a Duffy. You can see that the foliage is slightly different so this is juvenile foliage and this plant goes through a juvenile phase much like people become teenager and then adults. So this goes through a juvenile phase where as this plant already has it's adult foliage. So this is grafted and it's grafted down here and this is basically a miniature mature tree. The fruit that are produced on this grafted variety are going to be true to type so they are going to be exactly the same as the parent tree, you are going to know what you're going to get and it's going to fruit much quicker than this seedling tree. So there are advantages and disadvantages of both the Advantages of a seedling is they tend to be more vigorous and more  hardy they also grow slightly larger and the advantage of your grafted plant is that they are true to type and they fruit quicker. There are also different maintenance things so this grafted plant is grafted onto a seedling plant exactly like this and you need to de-sucker anything below the graft so if you look closely here you can see the graft and here's the sucker so this is a seedling sucker and it's really important to maintain your grafted plants by removing all the suckers so that's a really important maintenance to maintain your grafted tree for this seedling is going to be more vigorous and it can actually overgrow your graft it can kill off the graft because it has more energy so it's really important to get your secateurs and cut that sucker off.

Video: Pigeon Pea as Companion Plants

Transcript:
Here we've got a good example of how our Pigeon Peas can work for us in the garden. Why should you add this to your order? They are good examples of a permaculture guild where you use Pigeon Peas as a support system for your main tree so we have got a Cashew here and we've got a Naranjilla. They will require shade in the hot Summer days they will require nitrogen and they require mulch. These Pigeon Peas they provide everything. So to start with you can prune it up and use that as mulch. So that will provide a bit of structure in the soil and every time you prune it, it releases Nitrogen in the soil through the roots. During the hot summer days let it grow over your trees. During the winter days where you require as much Sun as possible, chop it up. Use the leafage on the bottom so it stabalises the temperature of the soil and that's a good example of a permaculture guild. They're high in protein, They're beans so you can pick them green and are a great substitute for a pea. That's why it's called a pigeon pea so it provides 2 different products on the same plant. 1 is the peas that you can cook. You need 10 minutes to cook it. You just pick the dry ones and store it.

Kwai Muk Fruit Tree - How to cincture to make a Dwarf in a Video

Transcript

This is our Kwai Muk tree and because it grows into quite a large tree we cinctured this tree about 6 months ago so we put cuts around the trunk to reduce the flow of sap. The idea being that it keeps the tree smaller because it reduces the vigour and it also encourages flowering and if you have a look at the tree it's just loaded in fruit. So we have our best crop of Kwai Muks ever and I just love these little velvety surprises they are they've got beautiful sour bright red flesh. I can't wait until they ripen up. It will be another Month I'm guessing. Wow.
