Nhill Fruit Trees (Popular)
Nhill Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Mango - Kensington Pride
$59.00 ($59.00-$89.00 choose a size)
Grafted selection of the Australian renowned Bowen variety, excellent flavour, very juicy and aromatic. Most famous for not being too stringy. In cooler areas with wet spring weather, flowers and young fruitlets will fail and this can very much affect yield in those years. However sometimes you can prune off these flowers to force flowering and give it a second chance. Moderate susceptibility to Anthracnose and Black Spot. Average wt. 450gms. (Sams Selection)
Dwarf Apricot - Bulida
$59.00 ($59.00-$64.00 choose a size)
Bulida is a well known and popular Apricot that produces large golden orange fruit. The fruit is firm and very sweet and juicy. Grows to a height of 2m and a width of 2m. Fruits mature early to mid December. Self pollinating. Medium chill makes this a variety that can be grown in most temperate regions of Australia. Plant in a well drained and well worked soil. Take care to plant the bud union above the soil level. Water in well and keep soil moist until tree is established. Fertilise when planting and again after new growth appears. Prune tree when planting to encourage new growth.
Mango - Glenn
$59.00
Sweet, juicy flavoured Mango with no fibre. It has moderate resistance to Anthracnose and very good resistance to Bacterial Black Spot. An excellent early variety. Ideal for home backyards because they sun ripen to perfection and produce a full flavour that commercially produced varieties just can't match.
Dwarf Mulberry - Black
$34.00 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)
This mulberry has a very low chill factor making it ideal for our subtropical climate. Pruning after fruiting allows it to be kept under 3mtrs, and also encourages multiply cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics. There has been feedback that this variety doesn't perform as well in Temperate Climates.

Pine Nut
$31.95 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)
An attractive large pine tree that bears cones of edible nuts. These are considered a delicacy in Mediterranean style cooking, due to their sweet, buttery flavour. Trees can be expected to start producing cones from about year 6. But can take longer. Each cone holds about 50 nuts and 100 kg of cones holds about 20 kg of nuts. Grows best in dry cooler areas with excellent drainage. Trees can set nuts on their own, but cones may be poorly filled. Plant two or more to improve nut set.
