Fine-leaved Tuckeroo
$17.90 ($4.90-$17.90 choose a size)
A tree with an attractive rounded crown of pinkish to light green young pinnate foliage. Yellow-orange flowers are followed by pear shaped orange seed capsules in December. Relatively rarerainforest tree recorded from the Brunswick River, NSW to Nambour, Qld. It was known for its hard, tough light coloured timber
Special
Plum Pine
$12.90 ($4.90-$49.00 choose a size)
Attractive rainforest pine that bears seeds on swollen edible stalks - which is the 'plum'. The seeds get darker the riper they are. The purple 'fruit' are grape-like with a sweet, juicy, soft jelly-like pulp with a subtle plum flavour. The slightly resinous fruit can be used for both sweet and savoury recipes. It is an attractive hedge due to its contrasting dark and lime green foliage. The timber is popular in cabinet making. The trees are either male or female so planting 3 or more together will increase your chances of getting both a male and female tree which then allows for pollination and fruit set. They are from an ancient family of trees originating in the time of Gondwana, growing now in the rainforests of the east coast of Australia. The tree grows quite slowly and can take 8-15 years to fruit.
