Halcyon Daze Posted December 22, 2013 Mid north coast? Further south perhaps? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti101 Posted December 22, 2013 Interesting question - I wonder what the limiting factor is - humidity, winter min temp etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samadhi_sam Posted December 23, 2013 I have seen cubes as far south as far south as Cooranbong. Maybe that's whey the Seventh Day Adventist community there enjoy their religion so much Peace 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted December 23, 2013 I've had friends find them around Wollongong and even the Southern Highlands. I've also personally seen large amounts of cubes and Pan.cyans growing in the Sydney area. Having said that though, they are very inconsistent, and often only grow in small microclimates or when we have wet, humid summers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zen Peddler Posted December 23, 2013 I spoke to someone that claimed he found cubensis on the Peninsula near Melbourne. moist heat would be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

altenate Posted December 23, 2013 At least as far south as gerringong & kiama & berry. At least that was the case when I was younger.... But lots of those areas are now housing estates ;( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halcyon Daze Posted December 23, 2013 Murrumbidgee river marshes down near currawarna nsw That's rather surprising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted December 23, 2013 I haven't lived there for years, the area is mostly dairy farming and the pastures are flood plains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Francois le Danque Posted December 26, 2013 I once read they even grow in tasmania, but i am skeptical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted December 26, 2013 They'll grow anywhere they import in the cattle... You only need a few days of perfect conds to make it happen... Prob is we aren't out there in the fields for each little micro climates perfect conditions... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted December 26, 2013 I wonder how those micro-climates will be affected by climate change. Maybe they'll start popping up further south and more frequently too. I guess it's what the science is predicting. Fish are already moving further south, why not mushrooms and everything else for that matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtarman Posted December 27, 2013 ^ yep. If it's getting hot enough to make the bushfires more intense then I guess it will mean that. Jellyfish have been slowly moving south for a good while now, along with a whole slew of other things. Cane toads I think as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted December 27, 2013 Cubes enjoy fruiting around 20C. They've been found in SA, i've heard anecdotal evidence from pickers decades ago and also from someone last year. I produced a suitable micro climate last year by accident in my backyard in Adelaide. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo264nm Posted December 28, 2013 Definitely seen south of Sydney and in terms of climate I'd imagine the question would be not so much how far south as how far inland. So long as there is coastal humidity in summer I can't see anywhere on the east coast that they wouldn't grow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
