Braidwood Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Pine Nut
$29.00 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)
An attractive large pine tree that bears cones of edible nuts. These are considered a delicacy in Mediterranean style cooking, due to their sweet, buttery flavour. Trees can be expected to start producing cones from about year 6. But can take longer. Each cone holds about 50 nuts and 100 kg of cones holds about 20 kg of nuts.
