Assorted Exotic & Unusual Plants

**thumbsucker** · 22nd January 2019, 02:33 PM

I am down sizing and am looking to regrettably part with my collection of plants, All plants come in large pots so you just need to pick up and go. I am charging what I paid for the plants. Not including the extras I have invested in them. All are well established and are between 2 to 5 years old. Many are are starting to produce fruit and would benefit from being put into the ground.

Here is the list with comments

$45 Pomegranate (Punica granatum) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate - 3 years old first year bearing fruit
$20 Pipino Dulche (Solanum muricatum) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_muricatum - a true rare find it gives these small avocado sized fruit that when fully matured taste like a rock melon it is however temperamental in its production but well worth it
$45 Quince (Cydonia oblonga) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quince - had flowers but the wind took them so it should be ready to fruit 4 years old
$45 Chilean Guava (Ugni molinae) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugni_molinae - fruited last year and should do the same this year fruits late autumn
$65 Curry Tree (Murray’s koenigii) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_tree - an essential ingredient in southern Indian cuisine this is my pride and joy I have had this for 5 years and it’s very slow growing and needs care. It is at the stage of forming a crown and seed given enough time it is prone to being weedy forming a small tree.
$20 Greek Oregano (O. v. subsp. hirtum) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregano
$20 Moroccan Mint (Mentha spicata 'Nana') https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maghrebi_mint_tea - a weed that is best kept in a pot otherwise it will get away from you. Makes lovely tea
$20 Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_balm
$45 Rainier cherries (Prunus avian) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainier_cherry - this is 3 years old and wants to fruit however I have been plucking the flowers as I have been forcing it to grow more woody branches maybe two more years it should be big enough to provide fruit
$35 Lemongrass (Cymbopogon) MULTIPLES https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cymbopogon - this is a great if you like Thai food it forms offshoots and needs to be broken up and transplanted every year. You can pick the tips and use them instead of pulling the whole plant

I have a 1 year old lemon tree and a mysterious stone fruit both grown from seed I will give this to anyone who buys 3 or more plants.

I am located in Belgrave Victoria 3160.

Here are the photos

Open to reasonable offers.

We’d be all over these if you were in Sydney.
Sad having to part with these after the obvious care and attention you’ve put into them.
Why don’t you post something in the Gardening section?
You might find the right people there.

It is a regrettable situation. I love gardening and as you stated I have invested much time and care into my plants. However being a renter I have found that moving my stuff is just to bothersome and costly.

If I win lotto I will buy some land and I would plant a forest.

Thanks for the suggestion will cross post.

Interested in the dulche, curry tree and Rainier cherry. How tall are they? Will they fit in a wagon?

Cheers,

Christophe

Hi Christophe

The dulche is a small bush, the Curry is just under 1.5 meter but the cherry is easy 2 meters including the pots. The pots are 44 gallon drums that have cut in half.

A trailer would be best.

Cheers

Helmut

Out of interest, how many years did it take for your Chilean guava to first produce fruit?

First two years it did nothing in the third year it gave me about a dozen fruit. It's now year four.

Quick update.

All plants are thriving, except the cherry tree. It had a fungal infection. Died very quickly. I should have noticed earlier.
The curry leaf tree is also thriving.

**thumbsucker** · 19th March 2019, 07:39 PM

Glad to hear things are working out. I have started planting again in my new place in Traralgon. But it will take me a long time to build up the variety I had.
