Real Fruit!!

We set up a sprinkler system to the fruit trees; this will work much better than taking buckets of water to them.

On the way home from Twba yesterday we called in at our favourite nursery at Oakey and bought a peach tree - complete with peaches!

We covered the avocado tree, hopefully not too late to save it.

The mango tree is just loving it's new home; this growth appeared since planting last weekend.

That's 6 trees planted now and 2 holes left to fill. The next tree will be an apricot; the final hole might get filled back in - it's almost pure rock and unlikely to grow anything. I think we've pretty well covered off on our favourite fruits now; so we'll sit back and see what happens!

The Woodlawn Orchard

The bobcat man dug holes for the fruit trees we bought a month ago at Nanango. It didn't take him long. We planted the trees on mounds and mulched them well. We don't really know anything about growing fruit trees but we'll work it out.

BEFORE:

The avocado tree looked very unhappy from the minute we put it in the ground. A week later and it hasn't improved; we've covered it now so will see how it goes.

Strawberry Mango.

Lime.

Orange.

Lemon.

AFTER: Five planted, watered and mulched.
