Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)
$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, not a true dwarf, but well suited to growing in small backyards as, with pruning, it can be kept to 2m high. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions.
Carambola Starfruit - Kary
$74.00 ($74.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Excellent flavour, bright skin and juicy flesh with few seeds, bearing a summer and winter crop. It exhibits more cold tolerance than other varieties. Carambolas are also called Star Fruit Carambola trees have an attractive weeping habit, producing a profusion of pink flowers.
