Jakfruit - Rajhan

$99.00 ($79.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Lovely flavoured arils that are pale orange-yellow and have hints of vanilla. Fruits are well filled with many arils which are a nice small size and very crisp. The fruit is a good size, only about 5 kg making it very easy to manage

Cherry - Royal Lee

$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Delicious, medium to large, dark red cherries, with a rounded to heart shaped look. This is a low chill cherry, requiring 200-400 hours of chill. Royal Lee requires a pollinator which has traditionally been the older Minnie Royal but flowering times of these 2 can be mismatched in warmer areas and an intermediary is helpful. The newer, self pollinating Royal Crimson blooming can bridge between these two. Bees are the main pollinating insects, so plant flowering herbs to attract them to your garden. Other stonefruit may also provide pollination services. Plant within 5m of each other for best results. Hand pollination could be helpful in years where flowering times are mismatched.

African Breadfruit

It is growing well, with 2 large new leaves in a small pot with 1/2 day of sun in very damp and unseasonably cool Upper Hunter. The nutritious and possible medicinal properties are interesting.
