Lime - Australian Desert 'Standout' PBR

$89.00

Selection of unique native Lime from inland Australia, with great flavour and zing. "Standout" is a later ripening selection with large fruit and leaves. Desert Limes have outstanding adaptation to heat and cold from its natural habitat. Trees grow to only 2.5m. Plants are thorny to prevent herbivores from browsing but top-most branches out of their reach are thornless and these quality grafted plants are produced from these thornless upper branches. From flowering to fruiting is generally only 3 months, making this a great backyard plant. This plant has Plant Breeder's Rights over it.

Jakfruit - Yullatin

$99.00 ($29.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Produces small fruit 3 - 12kg with large pale yellow arils that are essentially crisp but have a creamy soft texture. Super delicious.

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.

Soh Shang

$29.00

Medium, spreading woody shrub producing plum sized red fruits. The fruit is best when fully ripened, is sweet and jelly like with some astringency. It is often eaten with salt or as juice or chutney. The flesh can be sucked from the seed. It has notable nutritional benefits. The plant fixes nitrogen with the aid of symbiotic soil bacteria and is a good addition to food forest systems. It is originally from India. The native Millaa Millaa vine looks very similar with smaller fruits and overall size. Drought hardy.

Jambolan Plum

$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Frost sensitive when young but once established is hardy to most conditions. It can tolerate strong winds and can be used as a windbreak tree. It can also tolerate prolonged flooding and dry periods. It is limited to fruit production in tropical regions in elevations from sea level to 600m above sea level. Given such conditions it fruits prolifically. The fruit can be eaten fresh or used in making Pies, Sauces, Jams and Juices. While native to India, Burma and Ceylon, it is now widespread across much of Asia and is also very popular in much of South America. Carries many common names including Java plum, Portuguese plum, Malabar plum, Black plum, Purple plum, Damson plum and Indian blackberry. It is a fast growing very attractive tree highly esteemed by Buddhists throughout Asia and often planted near Hindu temples. Weed Warning: Jambolan plum is naturalized across Hawaii and has weed potential in subtropical and tropical regions in Australia, due to seed dispersal by birds.

Early days yet. This plant is a gross feeder. I'm using sheep manure and due to the lateness of the my order, (Autumn) seeing a lot of leaf die back with strong rhizome growth but slow replacement leaf growth. Expecting good leaf growth in spring.
