It's a 3 year plan in Adelaide. There's a "tough as old boots" Jamaican lime in behind this two year old Imperial mandarin.
1/ don't plant in the cold
2/ don't disturb the roots
3/ plenty of sun
4/ plenty of water
5/ fertilise monthly in late spring through autumn
6/ foliar spray zinc/manganese once a year
6a/ perhaps some very expensive iron chelate once or twice a year
7/ use confidor maybe every six weeks to stop your leaves curling from thrips
8/ your fresh green leaves in spring and summer are your future. See above, the old dark green to the left will soon be pruned at the trunk
9/ in winter don't let the roots get too wet and cold at the same time
10/ whatever you do, keep leaves on it. Don't be in a hurry to prune too soon. I've never seen one recover from bare stems.
11/ I paint the sunward bark with any waterbased paint in spring to reduce sunburn.
It's worth persevering, they're tough and rewarding once they get through their fractious childhood.
This worked. I got a piece of yearling topside, from Austral meat. Trimmed it and cut it into strips - like the strips you'd cut for a stirfry. Overnight marinade - soy sauce, extra salt, honey, plus some ketjap manis (sweet soy).
Not enough sun to sustain the kikuyu right into the corner. So I planted some Cannas that my brother gave me.
Wow. Thanks Steve.
This has to be the worst pest on my list. They get on the back of stone fruit and - in this case - tamarillo and suck away. The suck moisture out of the leaves, which shrivel, they suck energy out if the plant. And they're damn hard to get rid of. Sprays, dusts, they never seemed to work. And they I heard about Confidor as a drench. Forget spraying it - didn't work for me. But when I mixed it normal strength and then watered it into the rootzone - kapow!
Brian is a hen that shared a backyard with a Shar Pei which must have nuzzled all Brian's feathers off.
Ouchie. I cut this hard and then put it into a shadier spot. Probably a bad double whammy. I've noticed these plants drop their leaves if they're not needed to suck up sunlight. 
Alrighty then. From here on the problem is not one of growing tomatoes but of managing them. And I certainly don't need to be buying any.
