Lethbridge Fruit Trees (Popular)
Lethbridge Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Loquat - Nagasakiwase
$49.00 ($49.00-$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.
Persimmon - Suruga (NA)
$79.00
Orange-red, non-astringent, very sweet, keeps well. Sweetest of the non-astringent types with soluble solids often over 20%. Red coloration in mature fruit is strong, and fruit imperfections are infrequent. Seeded crop loads must be thinned to prevent over production.Suruga
