We have been growing rosella bushes and harvesting. They are starting to send out new shots down low. Can we cut them back and will they re shoot or do we need to pull out and stay again.

Hi, I am looking to plant Rosella plants later on in the year, and as I have free ranging chickens in the back yard - I am wondering if these plants are safe (non-toxic) if the chickens happen to nibble at them? Can't find anything when doing a web search! Cheers

Will rosella trees grow where there is a frost,like at Roma Queensland sandy loam soil, I'm trying to work out what sort of fruit trees are suitable for that area.

Well we have travelled 10.000 ks in our van for a year hooding to find wild rosella plants. No we didn't but have now settled in teagardens nsw went to local markets and guess what a plant stand selling rosella plants I was so happy anyway planting out tonight wish me good luck , they say in olden times the rosella plants flourished everywhere we didn't see one so I'll keep some seeds and will scatter them , if your on the road it's neat to find tomatoes or anything edible that's free and you can eat good luck to all
