I planted some Rosellas in small pots a few weeks ago,(placed in a shallow trough so the roots could get to the water below). They were for a friend of mine down south. I have been feeding them with Fish emulsion and they have all started to bloom! Unfortunately my friend cannot come up to collect them! Question is, is it now possible for me to transplant them into large pots so I can pick the fruit for her later on? (I do not have room to plant them in my little garden! I live in Kingscliff,NSWs. so if anyone living locally would like a couple of these plants, please e-mail me.

Hi Dorothy, I have been looking for Rosellas for our new edible gardening and if still available I would love a couple of your plants (they sound beautiful and healthy). We are at Cobaki, Tweed Heads and could pick up before or after Chrissy, whichever may suit you. Kind regards & Merry Christmas Mary
