Gatton Fruit Trees (Popular)
Gatton Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Apricot - Glengarry
$79.00
Heavy cropping variety with small pale golden fruit and a slight blush. The tree is large, vigorous and heavy bearing. One of a few varieties that will crop in the subtropics. The fruits are very flavourful and a summer stonefruit delight. Prune branches during winter. Apricots grow best in full sun positions with good drainage and a regular application of fertiliser during the growin season. Fruit Fly and birds can be a problem and we recommend quality netting to cover the tree that is not harmful to wildlife.
Mango - Bowen Seedling
$27.00 ($17.75-$49.00 choose a size)
Most common variety grown with excellent quality fruit. Bowens are naturally polyembryonic hence are virtually true to type from seed. Cropping takes 3-4years, with identical fruit quality to grafted trees.
Dwarf Avocado - Lamb Hass (A)
$59.00 ($59.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Larger and rounder than most other avocado varieties. It has a very dark, almost black skin that only gets darker as it ripens. The flesh is a pale green colour with a creamier consistency than the more common Hass and it has a slightly nutty and creamy taste. It has a medium-sized seed. Lamb Hass is a smaller tree that bears more fruit and it matures later in the season than regular Hass avocados. The symmetrical fruit has pebbly skin with green flecks. This variety has Plant Breeder Rights over it.
Loquat - Nagasakiwase
$59.00 ($59.00-$79.00 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.
Pear - Packhams Triumph
$39.00 ($39.00-$44.00 choose a size)
This sweet juicy pear has a subtle flavour that makes them ideal for cooking and bottling. Large fruit, green in colour and long in shape. A regular and heavy bearer. Requires a cold winter for good crops.Requires pollination with a Nijiseiki nashi.
