Tralee Fruit Trees (Popular)
Tralee Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Feijoa - Mammoth
$44.00 ($44.00-$79.00 choose a size)
A large, round to oval fruit with a slightly wrinkled thick skin. Very good flavour and quality, moderately soft and juicy, moderately smooth. Self-fertile but bears larger fruit with cross-pollination. Mid-late season.
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.
Yuzu - Grafted
$59.00 ($59.00-$99.00 choose a size)
Native to China, the Yuzu has been used and cultivated in this region for thousands of years. The fruit is tart, resembling a grapefruit with mandarin overtones. It is rarely eaten as a fresh fruit but is used to makes sauces, preserves and a popular yuzu vinegar. In Korea thinly sliced fruits are combined with sugar and honey to make a thick marmalade like syrup. Yuzu kosho is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or ripe yellow yuzu zest, chillis and salt. The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees
Amla
$34.00 ($24.00-$79.00 choose a size)
The Amla or Indian Gooseberry is a small leafy tree that grows throughout India and bears an edible fruit. Amla oil is extracted from its seeds and pulp. The amla fruit is often referred to as the "Indian Gooseberry" because of its edible, very tart taste. The pectin content makes it ideal for jam and chutneys. The tree begins to yield fruit from the third year onwards and the productivity levels are good. Amla oil is prepared from dried amla berries, which have been soaked in coconut oil for several days. This oil is one of the world's oldest natural hair conditioners. These trees are semi deciduous in the winter and spring, and may lose some leaves in transport as a stress response. This is quite normal and the plant will recover well.
Nashi Pear - Shinseiki
$44.00 ($44.00-$49.00 choose a size)
Round, medium to large, yellow fruit. Crisp creamy white flesh; mild, sweet flavour. Tastes best when tree ripened. Hangs on the tree in good condition for 4 - 6 weeks. Vigorous and spreading. Self-pollinating with a lower chill requirement than most.
