There are many considerations in choosing fruit trees that are right for you such as frost tolerance, Dwarf, pollination, fruiting times etcHow it Works
You use a menu (pictured left) to select what you want and the web page shows you plants that match.

I love it!! What a great idea. I can now design my ALL YEAR ROUND FRUITING ORCHARD, and by selecting their heights and growing habits I can compact more trees in my back yard. But I have noticed not all your trees are listed.

Glad to hear you liked it.
You are right there are some trees not listed but it won't be long until every plant we stock (there are lots) will appear in this list.
We have the top man on the job Greg Daley working through this huge list.

Thefruit tree selector is a great idea. I have two comments.
Firstly, including a soil type criteria would be a great help, Secondly, the difference between the various pollination types is unclear, and the results seem a little contradictory. Perhaps simplifying the number of pollination types would assist.

I like it. Perhaps another category to add is chill requirements or some indicator of the temperatures that they thrive best in?

trying to find fun things to grow in pots not just oranges and lemons. like the frost tab we western australians have to think of that.

I'm happy with the search results, but the feature is too hard to locate. I can only find it by clicking all the blogs. In fact the whole site design appears stuck in the 1980's.
Well... you did ask for feedback!

I have a courtyard garden in Melbourne, so I'm looking for fruit trees that can be grown in tubs, but as soon as I clicked the "grown in pots option" there was nothing left :-(

Excellent tool.
I would like to see all fruit trees that are available in Australia, even those that you do not produce so I can check all my options as I will be replanting my entire backyard to be productive and fruit trees are at the top of my list.
For trees that you do not produce you could add a 'suggest Daleys produce this' button, when you get enough interest in any particular tree you could then look into producing it to expand your range.
Perhaps you could add a city selection so people can choose from the best trees for their particular city.
Once again great work, excellent tool.

I like this tool, have used it to select all of my fruit trees, but can never find this tool when I look for it again.
Be great to have a link from the home page.
I'm also always left wondering if my search is showing up all of my options because as I refine and limit my search oftem it feels like more tree options then show up.

Great idea! Surely though there are more choices than Kumquats for medium frost tolerance and self pollinating?

I also think this is a great tool but could be made even better with the suggestions of those above. I also would like to see the following criteria available within the search parameters:
- Shade tolerance
- Type of plant (tree, shrub, vine)
- Wind tolerance (can act as windbreak, tolerant, needs protection)
