I have this fig! Bought from Diggersclub vic. Stunning tree, stunning fruit. We are in south eastern Melbourne, near gateway to Yarra valley. Our fig is seven years old, we keep it pruned to about 2 metres high and wide. Fruit is now larger than my fist!! It will grow "breba" crop in spring/early summer, then a much bigger crop to ripen in mid autumn. I realised this was an old post-hope you still have the tree!! If not diggers club will

Hi, we are new to this forum and live Central Vic. same thing no watering permitted outside due to our water restrictions. just getting started and having fun collecting succulents and cacti.have had a large amount donated to us and have been potting up and after reading the entry on pruning jade, and have rescued all the bits we threw out thinking they were no use, the plant itself was massive. so will be keen to see how it responds to being ripped out of the ground in 30+ degree heat.

Many thanx Vivienne for Moth,The Friar and Cottage Rose. Your garden is truly lovely. regards sandie

Hello koiwabiru, I was at the meeting last Tuedays night. I only pop into this site occassionally now and mostly I just lurk here. I am glad you had a nice time and I hope we will see you at more meetings. I am incharge of the kitchen at the RSV meetings. Also if you noticed someone lying down on the couch at the back of the hall during Cedric's talk that was me. I don't quite have the 2 decades on you but I do suffer from chronic fatigue and the meeting finishes well past my usual bedtime for a school night, so the couch is very welcome. I love going to the meetings and I enjoy working in the kitchen. You can learn all sorts of stuff about gardening and roses at the meetings and it is great to talk to so many rose lovers. I am trying to keep up with work and also my rose related activities. The Greater Melbourne group of Heritage Roses meeting is on tonight at the Horticulture Cenre & Community Garden hall, Jolimont Rd Forest Hill, 7.30pm. Now thats another great group. Vivienne
