Hi TM...well we are lucky as I explained before being border line we grow all different kinds of things ....the She oaks are a stram

Yes we can grow proteas, but in built up beds of crushed sandstone as the clay would kill them stone dead!
I have grown many murraya from the little orange fruit ....do you get the little fruit?
