Wahgunyah Fruit Trees (Popular)
Wahgunyah Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Sandalwood - Indian
$49.00 ($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.

Moorpark, mid- to late season maturity. One of the most popular home garden apricots because of its rich flavour. Excellent for fresh fruit, jam, drying, stewing and juice. Trevatt, early to mid-season maturity. A very popular, excellent quality apricot. Pale apricot skin colour. Flesh is orange in colour, firm and juicy with good flavour. Heavy bearer.
