It just said dwarf mulberry - I never thought to look for more information and now I have thrown the label away.... africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-46919034943352164652014-03-13T13:58:18.239+10:002014-03-13T13:58:18.239+10:00Rosalind,

I hope you get some apples soon - I bet they will be full of flavour. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-37036082125023781332014-03-13T13:56:37.313+10:002014-03-13T13:56:37.313+10:00Sami,

Wow fig and walnut jam sounds great - I have never heard of adding nuts to jam. Hopefully one day I will get so many figs that I will ask for the recipe. I am keeping my fig in a pot as I have heard that their roots can travel far looking for water.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-88571216363896335102014-03-13T13:52:56.202+10:002014-03-13T13:52:56.202+10:00Joyful,

They're two year old plants so I'm hoping we'll soon see their blossom.

I have 2 passion fruit vines that grow and grow, they are even taking over the neighbours fence, but we both get lots of passion fruit, so that is good. We have a short fig tree in the front garden by the driveway and just yesterday I picked over 2kg of figs. Fig and walnut jam being made today! I'm not sure how that tree gives so many figs, we never water it at all, unless there is an underground water supply...Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-8427858429627854332014-03-12T12:19:06.612+10:002014-03-12T12:19:06.612+10:00I wish you were here to help me with my small gard...I wish you were here to help me with my small garden ;-) I am fairly hopeless and I really don't enjoy the gardening all that much though I really love the end product when a garden grows well.

On one of our favourite TV shows recently they were talking about espaliering and I suppose that is what got me going.
