Persimmon - Flat Seedless (A)

$79.00 ($79.00-$79.00 choose a size)

A smooth textured, juicy fruit of excellent quality. Fruit is large flat shaped. One of the best Astringent varieties, has to be fully ripe to eat. Vigorous grower.

Custard Apple - Golden Emperor

A self fertile Custard Apple with a dwarfing habit making it ideal for backyards in warmer climates. The fruits have a lower seed count then some varieties. This is a new release custard apple that will produce good crops of tangy sweet fruit for you.

Mango - Alphonso

$59.00

Yellow skinned, medium size, only slight fibre, excellent quality. Sets well in subtropics. It is a favourite of India where it is the most desired of all the mangoes. So although not a huge mango the quality and taste is what makes it famous.

Longan - Chompoo

$99.00 ($69.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A Thai variety with large, high quality fruit with a faint pink tinge in the flesh. Relatively small seed. Longans are closely related to Lychees, and are highly regarded in Thailand. Generally hardier and quick growing than the lychee.

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!

Nangapire

A South American Eugenia, sweet tasty fruit similar to the Rio Grande Cherry. Self pollinating selection. Makes an attractive fruit bearing hedge.Weed warning: Nangapire is not listed as a weed in NSW or Qld but it has the potential to be spread by birds as it self seeds readily. Please net your plants
