Some of us braved the weather and visited Native Plants WA in Rockingham.
Because it was raining a bit heavier than forecast, we had some morning tea first and in between showers Emma showed us around and explained what was happening in each section and what they hoped to continue in the future plus their commitment to growing plants for local Councils, ‘Friends of’ groups, home gardeners, as well as larger groups like Greening Australia and Conservation Volunteers Australia.
They grow around 100,000 seedlings per year.
We learnt a lot and enjoyed our visit.
Thank you to Emma for giving up her valuable time and thank you to Cassie and the team for allowing us to invade their space.
Keep up the amazing work

Interesting article

Apart from abducting mature trees from a professional nursery and pretending you grew them yourself (no judgement), there are a few cheeky fruiting plants that can actually pay rent within the year—if you play it right.

Papaya is the overachiever of the garden world. Not only can it fruit in 6 to 9 months, but the young leaves make a bitter tea/ miracle detox.

Passionfruit is another go-getter. From a mature cutting, it can cover a fence and drop its first fruit before you’ve even built a trellis. Bonus: the young leaves are tasty in salads.

Strawberry and Lemon guava plays it cool but delivers quickly too, with sweet tangy fruit and glossy leaves that make the plant look fancy even when it’s not fruiting.

Hick Fancy mulberry, the best of the easy to grow black and fat mulberries, after fruiting chop the top to get another flush. New cuttings even fruit before fully rooting, it's crazy!

And then there’s the humble fig tree—cutting-grown varieties can fruit within a season, I've counted 17 fruit once on the 30 cm tree, and before that, you can always eat the leaves. Cook them right and they taste oddly like coconut. No joke.

So if you're hungry and impatient, chuck these in the garden and start planning your fruit salad now.
