Okay all you botany experts.. I need help on some berries

Hi Ricey,

That is lovely. Is this near the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay?

Mrs B

Sure is Sheila. It's come a fair way that small garden, and as you could imagine it cops a hiding on New Years Eve! Did you know they have a Wollemi Pine down there?

Is that the Wollemi Pine in the centre?

We've been thinking of planting one here - do you think it would survive in our clay-ish soil and frosty winter mornings? (maybe we should start a new topic!)


Thanks, Sheila

The wollemi at the terminal is caged off to the public and a bit closer to the museum. In the roundabout centre is a Magnolia Little gem. You could always use some gypsum in your soil but the frost in the 1st couple of years after planting would be a slight worry.

What a beautiful photo Bundalene! Ziggy & Zelda would love to get stuck into that tree! :D

Geez Pete, you are a talented fellow! The goats would love your display ... when I take them on walks every so often up the street, they love getting stuck into some of the bushes, roses are their favourites, yum! :D

Thanks Panda - you're too kind! Careful of what you pick in the city though, gardens can require more attention in high density areas & you won't be told if they've been sprayed with pest killer or whatever.

Hi Panda,
You should read my posting earlier today about a recipe for goat jerky;);)

Thanks for the comments on the Lilly Pilly tree, we really enjoy having native birds visit us.

Cheers

I kinda skipped over that post ... thanks anyway! :D:D
I've learnt a fair bit about Lilly Pilly trees though, hadn't even heard of them before. You must attract a lot of native birds with that tree! Beautiful! :)
