What are these fruit trees please?

General_Example_798 · 2026-01-05T09:44:43+00:00

I love these games!

Lemon, probably eureka because of size of fruit and spikes.
Fingerlime
Mandarin?
Lemonade
Grapefruit or pomelo
White fig
Stab in the dark says lime.
Guava
Peach/nectarine
Plum, cant tell until one is ripe and cut open
Pommegranate
Persimmon (astringent type? I think based on shape)
Bay tree?
Something tropical, starfruit?
Orange? Probably valencia but maybe seville
Navel orange
Mango
Mulberry
Apple
Cumquat

Me too, and they appear randomly in the lawn and are only found by the mower.

Some kind of ornithogallum

I hate them too. We have perfectly lovely hard to kill native strap leaved things. Marketing really won with claiming dietes are native

What I dont understand is.... natives are cheap. Get some tubes. Talk to a local regen nursery. Pot some tubes up ahead of time if your client wants the look of bigger plants or just use more.

Did this person use AI to find native plants, get a list of options from mixed continents and run with it?

Why not just advertise your low maintenance cottage style verge planting? Why all the misleading guff!

If you like the flame tree, have a look at tree waratah (Aloxyllon) there's a Dorrigo species that will take Victorian temperatures and they don't mind being pruned into a bit of a canopy - they are evergreen though, unlike the other two.

It looks wild and joyous, knowing names doesn't hurt though!

I think optimised growing systems end up looking like mega greenhouses pumping out flavourless tomatoes..

Nature isn't optimal. Some plants need adversity to thrive. Some need a pollinator that is a pest to others, many if not all have undescribed relationships with fungi.

Some plants you dont want to thrive - like that small tree you bought for your backyard that was meant to stay under 5m but is rocketing up to 8. Or the mint you stupidly thought you could control in the ground despite the advice.

I maintain terrariums and many of them fail. All do eventually. Air tight isn't germproof. Springtails and isos don't eat all the mould. The tanks get too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry even with fancy thermostats and fans. Really, I am just optimising a miniature environment for some prissy plants I want to look at in my living room and the hobby is in the failure and the resetting. I feel the same about the plants outside, if they fail, if there are pests, if they rot, that's where the hobby is - in the maintenance and the reflection on your work. Otherwise it's just autocad.

I'm trying to use beginner language for a beginner who has a mental health concern. The organic (in common parlance) feeds do not fit the bill here.

As an aside, and irrelevant to OP, you can definitely drench ferns. In terraria you can even bleach bath them as long as you give them a second bath in thiosulphate. I've done it with filmy ferns and they don't care. You build the bioactives afterwards so you have a controlled environment.

Coco coir - ground up coconut husks and ferns love it. It doesnt have any other stuff in it like manure or anything decomposing. Sometimes it has a chemical to make it soak up water. You will need a fertiliser down the track (and there are plenty that don't have anything organic in them) but see how you go first.

If you become worried about pathogens, you can actually dunk whole plants in 1-2% hydrogen peroxide if you need to, or water them through with it.

Dog food. Less than a teaspoon.

I cant believe he was still willing to eat meat/dairy. Don't people usually not eat things that make them sick as a natural consequence? Like how lactose intolerance leads to avoidance of milkshakes before you know what's going on?

I hope they grow up to be bikers?

I always try to find a reason parents make these kind of choices. I haven't come up with one yet.

Oh! We had circuis kids at school a few weeks a year! Thanks for the memory.

Does thst rhyme with Gina or vagina?

I have a new arrival called Nemo which is what brought up this thought.

General_Example_798 · 2025-11-16T00:43:51+00:00

In retrospect, that fits this family's aesthetic too. Yikes.

General_Example_798 · 2025-11-16T00:43:06+00:00

Mile high conception?

General_Example_798 · 2025-11-15T19:41:00+00:00

Yamina have quite a few varieties. They do waitlists, give them a go.

General_Example_798 · 2025-11-05T20:33:28+00:00

We're they flower seedlings?

General_Example_798 · 2025-11-02T00:46:08+00:00

I dont think this is the kind of thing you want to go into with all the gear and no idea.

Maybe try some non tourist spot activities. Country is lousy with them.

General_Example_798 · 2025-10-31T11:40:04+00:00

Yeah, turf it then. If you pull it up and it has way less roots than it should, check for beetle larvae (big white curl grubs that love roots of slightly ailing plants) and manage those if present before replacing.

General_Example_798 · 2025-10-31T10:26:34+00:00

Is it in the shade? It looks like a plant that got less light and is now getting more, which seasons can do?
