Dwarf Apple - Cox Orange Pippin
$49.00 ($49.00-$49.00 choose a size)
Highly regarded due to its excellent flavour and attractive appearance. Medium sized, orange-red in colour deepening to bright red and mottled with carmine over a deep yellow background. The flesh is very aromatic, yellow-white, fine-grained, crisp and very juicy. When ripe apples are shaken, the seeds make a rattling sound as they are only loosely held in the apple flesh. Cox Orange Pippin may be eaten out of hand or brewed in cider.
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.
Carambola Starfruit - Kembangan
$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)
This Star Fruit has bright yellow-orange fruit that is slightly elongated and pointed. The flesh is juicy and firm with few seeds. Flavour rich and sweet; excellent dessert quality. Carambola trees have an attractive weeping habit, producing a profusion of pink flowers. The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back
Pummelo - Nam Roi
$39.00
A recently imported Pummelo from Vietnam, where it is a very popular seedless variety. Pummelos are similar to grapefruits, but larger and much sweeter. Most adaptable citrus to tropical areas. Grows very well in subtropical climates too- like we have here at Daleys in Kyogle. Very large fruits!
Walnut - Serr
$39.00 ($24.90-$39.00 choose a size)
Seedling of the Serr variety. A good sized early/mid-season well-sealed nuts with good eating qualities. Cracks out at 59% on average. Serr is recommended for hot climates as it is resistant to sunburn. It can tolerate marginal soils, has vigorous growth and sets good crops on its own.
Special
Dwarf Banana - Ducasse
$21.00 ($12.90-$54.00 choose a size)
Also known as Sugar Banana, this small fruited banana is a winner on taste and texture, with a sweet, fragrant flavour. They ripen to a bright yellow when they are at their creamiest. The tree itself is well suited to backyards, reaching a moderate height of 2-3m. it also displays some tolerance to cooler growing areas, though frost is to be avoided. Bananas can flower and fruit at any time of the year and add a tropical look to any garden
