Now this beautiful passionfruit is the
Pandora Panama red passionfruit

because it has this beautiful red skin

and the aroma coming off this cut fruit

is just sensational

it's just mouth-wateringly beautiful is

all I can say about the smell of

passionfruit I absolutely adore them and

who doesn't and who doesn't want to grow

their own vine

[Music]

so how do you choose the right passion

fruit and what do you need to do when

you're planting one in your garden now

this is a grafted passion fruit and the

advantage of choosing a grafted passion

fruit like the Pandora is that you're

going to know exactly what you're going

to get when you pick your fruit so the

Pandora is a selection of the Panama red

and you can plant a Panama red seedling

which is great because they're vigorous

they're easier to grow they take a

little bit longer to fruit so seedling

will take about 12 to 18 months whereas

the Pandora is going to start to flower

and fruit in its first year and you're

going to be picking beautiful passion

fruits within 12 months they're also

going to be treated tight so you all the

fruit you pick off are going to have the

same quality so you can see this is a

beautiful full fruit it has lots of

seeds lots of juice and when you cut it

open that fruit is actually full of all

that beautiful passion fruit which is

what you're growing it for so select the

variety that best suits you and I've

chosen to grow this Pandora in my garden

[Music]

the passion fruit vines are heavy

feeders fast growers and then need

something some sort of support to climb

on so I've actually selected a carport

to grow this line on and it makes my

carport look like a better space it

softens the rough edges of the building

and it gives me beautiful fruit in the

morning when I arrive at work and I just

trim off all the edges as it grows what

you need to do when you plant your

passion fruit is have a trellis to grow

it on ready to go and plant it in a full

Sun free-draining rich site so there was

an old wives tale to plant a liver at

the bottom of the hole and the reason

being is your passion fruit is a heavy

feeder so it's kind of like lots of

nutrition as it grows so make sure that

you're able to feed it with a general

Npk fertilizer so nice rich balanced

fertilizer that's going to give you

foliage but is also going to support the

flowers and the fruit as they develop

[Music]

so the other really important thing to

do when you're growing passion fruit is

to know that pruning is important so all

the fruit and flowers are going to

appear on this new growth so what you

need to do as it comes into the new

growing season so at the end of winter

and the fruit are just about to finish

so once your fruit finish on your vine 

you need to give it a good prune if you

look at it you can see there's some dead

wood so these are just branches that

have died off you just prune out

anything like that take them right off

to where they're at the base of the vine

and then any of the very long shoots so

you need to actually follow your your

shoots up find out where the ends are

such as this on and then cut it back so

find where it comes on to the main stem

you might cut it back to where it's

making new growth so you can in that way

you can keep your vine happy on the

trellis take out any of the old growth

take out of any of the very woody growth

keep it short so that you're going to

produce lots of new shoots and on all

those new shoots you're going to get

loads of flower and lots of beautiful

fruit

[Music]

here in Kyogle would get a bit of cold

weather in the winter so it's not

unusual for us to get quite a few

Frost's so a sensitive plant like this

which is a warm loving passionfruit we

actually protect these from frost and

the worst area for frost is down near

ground level so what we've done is we've

actually wrapped the trunk of this

passion fruit with a bit of frost

protective material and it prevents the

stem from being ring bucked and it

ensures that your passion for it

survives any cool weather if you

actually live in a cold plate like

Victoria it might be that you look at

black passion fruits is your best option

Frost Protection at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery

Today is our coldest morning at the nursery since 2007. It was an icy winter wonderland first thing this morning.

The sprinklers are used to protect the plants from the frost, they form ice on the plants which creates heat and stops the cells from freezing.

Orange Fruit Trees in the News - Macular Degeneration

An orange a day keeps the macular degeneration away, early research finds

Oranges and Juice from Left to Right ( Picked from the tree this-morning)

• Arnold Blood Orange Tree
• Dwarf Cara Cara Orange Tree
• Dwarf Hamlin Orange Fruit Tree

🇦🇺If you're Australian, 1 in 7 of us 50+ will have our central eye sight worsen. Called Macular Degeneration.

🍊🍊 Oranges 🍊🍊
"So we know it's not to do with the Vitamin C in oranges. We can speculate it's likely to be the flavonoids or it's something else in oranges." says lead researcher Bamini Gopinath.

Early stages but moral of this story could be it's not the tablets, it's not the powders it's eating the entire fruit.

Of course at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery we give you an extra tick if you grow your own oranges. 👍👍👍👍

This is a 3 way Apple Tree - Gala, Red Fuji, Pink Lady

Did you know you can grow all 3 apple varieties on 1 tree. It is called a 3 way because 3 apple varieties are grafted onto the same rootstock also referred to as a multi graft. There are also 2 way but so far we haven't come across 4 ways perhaps this is something you can add at home when you reach Advanced level. Pollination between varieties is all taken care of too. 

Newbies often ask well can I grow a apple and an orange on the same tree. The answer is No. The rootstock is not compatible. You can look for "Way" in our search box to bring up nectarine and pear "3 way" and "2 ways" that come as bare rooted fruit trees.

Climate. These types of apples need high chill so you will need to be in a temperate to warm temperate climate for them to produce apples. Otherwise there are subtropical apple trees for those of us living in warmer climates like tropical anna or dwarf dorsette.

Cupuassu, Related to cacao, the cupuassu is popular in its native Brazil, but little know elsewhere. Unlike cacao, the pulp of the large-fruited cupuassu is used rather than the seeds. Unique flavour with hint of Pineapple

Tatura Trellis - cyclone proof trees, framework for netting and also training limbs to be more fruitful

Carters Red Pomelo

Cacao fruit - flesh around beans (that are used to make chocolate) taste like mangosteen and Soursop.

Canistel dip - great way to use this fruit. Just mix with Lime and Chili. So tasty!!

One of Peters Crisp Orange Jackfruit selections ‘Berry’ superb flavour.


Todays visit to Peter and Alison Salleras Fruit Forest Farm was awesome. Their passion in trialing and growing commercially a large range of exotic tropical fruits was so inspiring. After experiencing the full fury of Category 5 Cyclone Yasi in 2011 Peter and Allison were not deterred but actually inspired to future proof their orchard by establishing all new planting’s using Tatura trellessing. We were at the tail end of the wet season fruiting, but still managed to taste amazing Soursops, Durian, Jackfruit, Rollinia, Mangosteen, Breadfruit, Cacao, Black Sapote, Breadnut, Cupuassu, Pomelo and Canistel. It was great to finally meet the Salleras’ that I have heard so much about. They are so generous with their knowledge and their lifetime dedication to trialing and implementing new ways of growing Tropical fruits is so inspiring. If you are ever visiting North Qld you have to book into one of their Saturday afternoon Farm Tours.

Transcript from Orange Tree Video

This is one of my absolute favourite

citrus this is a Navelina orange and I

adore this citrus because it's a great

sized tree so you can see behind me it's

only a small compact tree and with the

Navelina it's actually the scion that

keeps it small so although it's grafted

onto trifoliata which is your regular

citrus rootstock it only grows a couple

of metres tall so it's a dwarf tree and

it's wide and broad it crops beautifully

and it has these absolutely deliciously

sweet juicy seedless oranges and I just

love it so it's one of my favorite

oranges in my orchard I've actually planted

more trees cause this one is so

productive so it's a early navel it

comes off in about May and like all

citrus it's a heavy feeder so it likes

regular nutrition some trace elements

every now and then lots of water when

it's fruiting and regular water

throughout the year and apart from that

its really easy to grow so you've got

no excuse not to have beautiful oranges

in your garden so get out there plant a

lovely navel orange and in May you'll be 

picking these beautiful home grown fruit
