Walcha Fruit Trees (Popular)
Walcha Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Apple 3 Way Golden Delicious/ Granny Smith/ Jonathan
$109.00 ($109.00-$109.00 choose a size)
A triple treat with 3 classic varieties of Apple. Perfect for eating fresh, stewing or baking. Enjoy a mix of gold, green and red apples of yesteryear. Excellent flavour fruits, a tree suited best to cool climates.
Dwarf Orange - Washington Navel
$48.95 ($48.95-$79.00 choose a size)
The oldest and most popular navel grown in Australia. Has excellent skin colour and taste, and usually produces round fruit. Is inclined to drop fruit and split in some climates. The dwarf rootstock, flying dragon modifies the top growth making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen.
Pine Nut
$34.95 ($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. Grows best in dry cooler areas with excellent drainage. Trees can set nuts on their own, but cones may be poorly filled. Plant two or more to improve nut set.
Cherry - Royal Lee
$59.00 ($59.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Delicious, medium to large, dark red cherries, with a rounded to heart shaped look. This is a low chill cherry, requiring 200-400 hours of chill. Royal Lee requires a pollinator which has traditionally been the older Minnie Royal but flowering times of these 2 can be mismatched in warmer areas and an intermediary is helpful. The newer, self pollinating Royal Crimson blooming can bridge between these two. Bees are the main pollinating insects, so plant flowering herbs to attract them to your garden. Other stonefruit may also provide pollination services. Plant within 5m of each other for best results. Hand pollination could be helpful in years where flowering times are mismatched.
Lemon - Lisbon
$39.00
A good quality sour lemon with high juice and acid levels. The fruits of Eureka and Lisbon are very similar. Vigorous and productive, trees are very thorny particularly when young. The best variety for cooler climates.
