Plum - Dorrigo Blood (G)

$49.00

A delicious juicy blood plum with pale skin and deep blood red flesh. They have a sensational flavour with a smooth, soft texture and lots of juice. The Dorrigo Blood is a superb choice for cooler climates although they will crop in the subtropics. Cross pollinate with a Satsuma. **We are currently unable to source this variety and will not be propagating it in the forseeable future. If you can help then we'd love you to get in contact with us.

Dwarf Apple Duo - Dorsett-Anna

$99.00

Two low chill apple varieties in one pot. Plant a pollinating pair in one hole and prune as if one tree. Golden skinned Dorsett and red skinned Anna, sweet apples suitable for fresh eating and cooking. Dorsett Golden is a golden skinned apple with a beautifully tangy, sweet flavour and Tropic Anna has a red blush skin and sweet flavour, similar to the Red Delicious. The subtropical varieties are best when eaten fresh off the tree, and not used for storage. You can grow in a large pot, as an espalier or in the ground. Duo plantings are perfect for small back yards. Prune regularly to maintain compact shape, taking all inward pointing branches out. Provide nutrition slightly more than for one tree. Suitable for warm temperate to subtropical climates. Protect trees from late frost if you are in a more temperate area.

Soursop - Diny

$79.00 ($79.00-$79.00 choose a size)

A grafted selection from the Sunshine Coast. The fruit is heart-shaped with a rough green skin and soft fleshy spines. The fresh meaty flesh is juicy and slightly acid producing a rich creamy thirst quenching juice. Superb when fruit is pureed with 1/3 of vanilla ice-cream. Also known as Graviola or Guanabana. Not suitable for temperate climates

Dwarf Apple - Tropical Anna

$39.00 ($39.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Delicious crunchy apples similar to their cold climate cousins, Red Delicious, but only require a low amount of chill. On a semi dwarfing rootstock they are ideal for backyard plantings and container specimens. An apple best eaten fresh off the tree as they are not a storing apple.

Cinnamon Tree

$27.00 ($27.00-$49.00 choose a size)

Highly ornamental tree and the source of cinnamon spice. The beautiful red new growth is highly distinctive. The spice itself is the inner bark that is peeled from the branches after 2 years. Scrape the outer bark, then peel the inner bark, leave for a day so that the inner bark curls into cinnamon sticks as it dries. They are distinctive in the many layered quill they produce that, when crushed, will shard rather than snap. Cinnamon is a very elegant and useful aromatic, much kinder to the palate than other spices. It imparts a distinctively sweet flavour when used. The leaves themselves are higher in clove oil than cinnamaldehyde, the active component of the sweet aromatic scent of cinnamon. Weed Warning: Can be invasive in tropical areas

The plant arrived in perfect condition and very quick. It is going to become a bonsai and join my bonsai collection at some stage.

Nanking Cherry

We had a hot autumn this year in Ipswich QLD and the Nanking Cherries are fruiting for a second time in one year. Has green fruit in April. Hopefully will ripen soon. Excellent plant for subtropics for up to two crops per year.

Nanking Cherry

Growing and fruiting well in Ipswich, QLD. Leaves not as large but thinner than in pictures but tree covered in fruit less than one year after buying from Daleys. Tastes much like a plum.
