I have planted some rosella bushes and they have grown wonderfully, but when do they start to bear fruit. I live in Brisbane

I have 30 plants that I started in October. I have just harvested about 50 rosellas and made 5 jars of jam. My soil is not that great but since giving the plants a good feed they have perked up. They do not like wet feet. I have lost 1 plant due to my accidentally disturbing its roots. I have thousands of little holes in the leaves which I think are grasshopper nibblings. I have noticed some grubs in the last 2 days and have 1to identify. It has yellow stripes longways and black dots side by side across its length with white hairs. Does anyone know what they are?

Same here - in fact we have lost a few really healthy Rosella bushes - think it was the excessive rain - the trunk of the plants went black

Hi there, we have just been initiated into the art of growing the wonderful Rosella plant as my hubby was presented with one for Christmas. We have limited space but would like to know what postion in sun or shade or semi shade it favours. we don't want to kill it. it is about 3 ft tall in a pot and its little leaves are curling up already. Any hints much appreciated.
