A friend is growing healthy rosella shrubs, but we dont know what to harvest for the jelly, and once harvested, how do we make Rosella jelly? Appreciate any help at all. Area: Zimbabwe, Africa.

Used to grow well on flood plain in Tweed Valley when I was a kid - black peaty soils. Grandma made the jam, hence my search for the topic - yum, love that slight tangy bite to the flavour.

How much fruit do you normally get from one bush. Can they handle Bris/Sunshine weather in summer. What kind fo soil do they prefer?

I live in a coastal belt at Port Stephens. Where can I obtain plants to grow same? I grew up in Qld so recall them being grown there. No one round here seems to know of them. Thank You. Anne

Hi, you can pick them once the calyx has firmed up.
