Orange - Valencia Seedless

$37.00 ($37.00-$39.00 choose a size)

This seedless orange is a bud sport of the Valencia, maturing a little earlier, its a heavy cropper so youll have loads of Oranges to make delicious OJ. Its a sweet orange that is the favoured choice for juicing. Attractive compact tree. Often it will carry new season blossoms whilst also holding ripening fruits, as they stay well on the tree into summer. The scent of orange blossoms in the air is a wonderful aroma to indulge in. Lots of pollinators will be attracted to the blossoms. Self pollinating so one tree is all you need. Match Valencias with Navels and blood oranges for a long season of fruit, flavour and fun.

Orange - Cara Cara Blood Navel

$39.00 ($39.00-$44.00 choose a size)

A red fleshed navel, this variety was discovered in Venezuela in 1976. It has pink to red flesh similar to Star Ruby grapefruit. In South Africa it matures slightly earlier than Washington navel. It is sweet and the fruit often grows quite large. It is also a seedless variety that looks fantastic. The fruit is very large and is becoming a favourite in taste all around Australia. Quickly becoming the Blood Orange Tree to choose.

Lemon - Meyer

$37.00 ($37.00-$39.00 choose a size)

The popular Meyer is not a true lemon but likely to be a natural hybrid between a lemon and an orange. The lower acidity and reduced sourness makes it one of the most widely grown home-garden varieties. Very hardy and prolific. The fruits are a deep orange-yellow colour with thin skin and they are very juicy, making them perfect for use in dressings and marinades. The meyer is low in pectin.

Dwarf Mandarin - Okitsu wase

$48.95

Seedless, good flavour, low acid and high TSS. Satsumas are cold hardy and form a compact growing tree. They are the earliest mandarins in the marketplace. They can even be eaten when the skin is still green.

Dwarf Apple - Dorsett Golden

$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Sweet aromatic apple with yellow fruit and a delightful pink blush and firm white flesh. Low chill requirement allows it to be grown in subtropical climates. Grafted on a dwarfing rootstock they are ideal for backyard plantings.

Pear - Williams

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

Often called 'Bartlett' or Bon Chretien. Medium to large in size and very juicy with a sweet flavour. Pale green at picking, ripening to a clear attractive yellow, sometimes with a slight blush. Used for fresh fruit, juice, stewing, preserving and drying. Early season maturity. Pollinated by 'Beurre Bosc' or 'Nijisseiki' nashi. Partially self-fertile.

Lovely smelling flowers. More leafy than his neighbours (lemonade and orange).Being  well mulched and well watered makes a big difference. Growing well

Growing in a large pot and doing great.  I let the fruit ripen this year to see what we are up for.  Allowed 4 to stay on, very heavy fruit, I'm surprised the branches supported them.

Label doesn't say what type of red grapefruit it is. It's struggling a bit - had to severely prune to get the framework right.For feeding n spraying see lemon - meyer.Aug 2010: it's doing well now and flowering. May let it keep one or two fruit at most...

An excellent piece of fruit with trees yielding up to 400kg of fruit per season when fully grown. Highly recommended!!
