West End Fruit Trees (Popular)
West End Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Magnolia - Rustica Rubra
$39.00 ($27.00-$79.00 choose a size)
This is one of the most spectacular of the spring-flowering trees and one of the easiest to grow. During winter its bare branches are covered with large tulip-like flowers, rose-pink outside and white inside. Prefers a rich acid soil. Rustica Rubra is the best flowering magnolia for subtropical climates.
Japanese Raisin
$34.00 ($17.90-$34.00 choose a size)
A fast growing tree that produces small raisin like fruit stalks which can be eaten fresh, cooked or dried. The Raisin Tree is deciduous and can grow to a height of 21m but in the open is more commonly around 9m with a single trunk and a rounded head. They have handsome, large, glossy green, cordate leaves which can hang from the stem. The flowers are small but are clustered together in great masses and are cream in colour.
Blueberry - Sharpblue
$17.90 ($17.90-$49.00 choose a size)
Excellent quality large fruit. Very low chill requirements and self-pollinating. A tough and vigorous bush. It has grown well in both sandy soils and heavier loams. The fruit has a wet scar, and is likely to become soft during very hot weather, meaning that it needs to be harvested frequently to overcome this.
Tea Plant
$19.90 ($4.90-$19.90 choose a size)
Makes an attractive hedge with the added bonus of providing your own tea if you wish to dry the new leaf tips. The fragrant white flowers are an added bonus to this compact glossy leaved bush.
