Birdwood (sa) Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Cherry - Royal Rainier

An excellent, sweet, white-fleshed cherry with very good flavour. A new blush-style cherry, recently released to Australia. Medium fruit size. Upright tree habit. Early to mid season, it benefits from being planted with Stella or Lapins.
Peach - Double Jewel ® cv. Zaiwel

Pink double blossom and red coloured skin over yellow fleshed fruit. A mid-season variety with good quality, tasty fruit. Good for fresh eating, drying, juicing and cooking. Suited to areas that have a medium amount of chilling, around 400 hours. A quality Fleming's 'Pick of the Crop' Peach cultivar
Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot
$49.00 ($29.00-$99.00 choose a size)
Much more compact in growth habit than the King White Shahtoot. These delicious sweet fruits can reach 10cm in length. Ideal for back yards and we consider it a must have fruit tree for the back yard. The best way to eat mulberries is fresh from the tree. If some should make it to the kitchen bench they make excellent pies, jams, wines and sauces. Multiple crops are possible by pruning directly after your first crop. Suitable for most regions of Australia, although it can be susceptible to damage from late frosts. The red shahtoot is ideal for growing in pots and containers due to it small growing habit and it is ideal for school gardens as it does not produce fruits that stain and the sweet fruits are very appealing to children. This variety is best suited to warm subtropical climates and does not perform well in temperate climate where it tends to drop their fruit.
Nectarine - Fantasia
$44.00
The large yellow fleshed fruits have excellent flavour. The skin ripens to a beautiful red with yellow tints. The freestone fruits are eaten fresh, dried or stewed.
Pecan - Shoshonii (B) SP
$39.00 ($29.00-$49.00 choose a size)
A precocious and heavy cropping variety in subtropical areas. Good quality medium to large oval nuts with a thin shell. A vigorous tree with an upright habit that makes an excellent backyard tree. Suited to high density plantings.
