Dombarton Fruit Trees (Popular)
Dombarton Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Loquat - Nagasakiwase
$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)
The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.
Special
Ginkgo
$19.75 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)
A tall growing deciduous tree with maidenhair like foliage. The foliage colours golden yellow in Autumn. The female tree bears a plum-like cone with an ill smelling flesh, but the kernel is edible and sweet. Slow growing and requires good soil and plenty of water during summer. We are not able to determine which seedlings are male or female until they flower so that is why we recommend 3 plants to be assured you will get at list one female.

Custard Apple - Seedling
$29.00 ($27.00-$29.00 choose a size)
Seed grown selection of African Pride. As with all seedlings the advantage is stronger vigour in marginal climates and chance to come up with a unique selection. Crops in about 4-6 years.The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back
