Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)
$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, not a true dwarf, but well suited to growing in small backyards as, with pruning, it can be kept to 2m high. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions.
Dwarf Mango - Palmer
$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Promising late variety with large elongated fruit. Brightly coloured skin coloured with purple and red. The flesh is smooth and almost fibreless. Very sweet and good quality. Produces well and is fairly consistent. Semi Dwarf growing to about 1/2 the size of a Bowen Mango
Mulberry - White Shahtoot
$49.00 ($24.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Large, sweet fruit can reach up to 10cm in length. Delicious eaten fresh but can also be sundried and eaten as a sweet. Medium sized, spreading tree with a weeping habit, excellent shade tree. Birds love them too so make sure you cover them if you don't want to share. You can also get multiple crops by pruning immediately after your first crop.
Dwarf Apple - Pink Lady
$39.00 ($39.00-$46.95 choose a size)
An Australian selection named for the attractive pink blush over a yellow undertone. The true pink coloring, crisp crunch and smooth texture assure the ultimate in dessert quality eating apples. Performs best in cooler regions. Cross pollination required with another compatible variety such as Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Red Fuji or Gala.
Miracle Fruit
$34.95 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)
Although not sweet itself this miraculous fruit, consumed fresh and allowed to coat the mouth alters your tastebuds so that everything you eat tastes sweet, lasting for an hour or two. It's extraordinary. The beauty of it is that it only removes the sourness 'acidity' from what you are eating, the natural aroma and taste remains. It has been used to sweeten bitter medicines. For success the plant prefers a pH as low as 4.5. A great companion for your blueberries. Requires a sheltered position free from frost and partial shade. Excellent unusual potted plant that can be moved into a sunny spot indoors during the cooler months, and indeed right through the year with adequate sun. Very slow growing and best to grow as a potted planted until at least 1 metre high Further Information: Rare Fruit Review
