Lovely Banks (vic) Fruit Trees (Popular)
Lovely Banks (vic) Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Black Sapote
$29.00 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)
Closely related to the Persimmon this attractive glossy foliaged tree produces a fruit often called the 'Chocolate Pudding Fruit'. They are best eaten when the fruit is very soft and the skin turns a dark colour Seedling selections are worth growing in cooler marginal areas. Cross Pollination is beneficial.
Walnut - Black
$29.00 ($19.75-$59.00 choose a size)
Native to Eastern North America, where it is highly prized for its high quality timber. The edible nut is more difficult to extract than the English Walnut. Used as rootstock because of its hardiness.
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.
Mandarin - Afourer Murcott
$39.00
Recently imported Tangor, with rich, sweet juicy flavour. The tree is moderate in size and vigor. Thin, smooth, orange rind that is easy to peel. The fruit is low-seeded in the absence of cross-pollination, but seedy when cross-pollinated.
Mandarin - Okitsu wase (Satsuma)
$39.00
Seedless, good flavour, sweet with a low acid flesh. Satsumas are cold hardy and form a compact growing tree. They are the earliest mandarins in the marketplace and can be eaten when the skin is still green. Which can beat the birds and possums
