Tawonga South Fruit Trees (Popular)
Tawonga South Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Sandalwood - Indian
$99.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)
Medium-sized hemiparasitic trees that attach themselves to the root system of nearby plants from which they extract water and minerals. Pinto Peanut and Acacia are suitable hosts as they are a legume and hence a natural nitrogen source. Keep Acacias pruned so they dont over take growth of Sandalwood. Used in the production of sandalwood oil, trees are harvested from 8 years and the entire tree is used for oil production including the roots and stump. The production of sandalwood in India and Nepal is strictly controlled by the government who owns all the trees, however illegal harvesting and smuggling is a problem due to the high value of sandalwood oil.
Pomegranate - Wonderful
$39.00 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)
A large, deep purple-red fruit. Flesh is deep crimson in colour, very sweet, juicy and of a delicious vinous flavour. Seeds not very hard. Good for juicing and eating out of hand. Plant is vigorous and productive. Best commercial variety in California.
Longan - Kohala (Marcot)
$59.00 ($59.00-$99.00 choose a size)
