Fawcetts Plain Fruit Trees (Popular)
Fawcetts Plain Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Gleditsia - Sunburst
$79.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)
This tree grown for its lacy foliage and elegant shape. It has dark grey-brown bark and bright gold fern-like leaves. Grows well in well drained soil with adequate moisture and sunlight. Deciduous.
Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot
$99.00 ($29.00-$99.00 choose a size)
Much more compact in growth habit than the King White Shahtoot. These delicious sweet fruits can reach 10cm in length. Ideal for back yards and we consider it a must have fruit tree for the back yard. The best way to eat mulberries is fresh from the tree. If some should make it to the kitchen bench they make excellent pies, jams, wines and sauces. Multiple crops are possible by pruning directly after your first crop. Suitable for most regions of Australia, although it can be susceptible to damage from late frosts. The red shahtoot is ideal for growing in pots and containers due to it small growing habit and it is ideal for school gardens as it does not produce fruits that stain and the sweet fruits are very appealing to children. This variety is best suited to warm subtropical climates and does not perform well in temperate climate where it tends to drop their fruit.
Nashi Pear - Tropical Sunshu
$49.00 ($49.00-$49.00 choose a size)
A superior low chill Nashi suitable for warm temperate and subtropical areas, a vigorous selection that is self pollinating and will be highly productive within 2-3 years. The delicate beige speckled skin is attractive, the flesh is white, crisp and crunchy and melts in the mouth. Delicious eaten straight off the tree.
Nectarine - White Satin
$49.00
White, aromatic fleshed nectarine requiring 250 hours chill. Beautiful red skin and excellent quality fruit. Prune after fruiting in summer to encourage fruiting wood for next season. Thin fruit for good fruit size. One of the best tasting nectarines in the subtropics. It produces an early crop and is very sweet and juicy.
Dwarf Apple - Tropical Anna
$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Delicious crunchy apples similar to their cold climate cousins, Red Delicious, but only require a low amount of chill. On a semi dwarfing rootstock they are ideal for backyard plantings and container specimens. Anna will set some fruit on its own, an added bonus for small areas. Pollinate with Dorsett Golden or Tropic Sweet for greater fruit set. An apple best eaten fresh off the tree as they are not a storing apple.
