Carambola Starfruit - Daleys Sweet Gold

$79.00

A very sweet, juicy selection that produces an abundant crop of medium sized fruit. Hard to surpass the flavour of this Daleys Nursery selection. Carambolas are also called Star Fruit and are excellent eaten fresh or juiced. 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

Dwarf Plum Gulf Gold Tree (G)

$39.00 ($29.00-$79.00 choose a size)

This golden plum is firm with excellent flavour & texture and a small seed. 350 hours chill. This dwarf plum is an ideal backyard variety and perfect for pots. An excellent all-round variety with the added bonus that it doesn't seem to be attractive to fruit fly as much as other stonefruit. Partially self pollinating but benefits from pollination with Gulf Ruby. Attractive in spring when it is smothered in white blossoms.

Nashi Pear - Nijisseiki

$52.95 ($39.00-$52.95 choose a size)

A heavy bearing variety. Medium sized round fruit of excellent eating quality with crisp, white flesh and yellowish-green, transparent skin and moderate sugar content. Will set fruit without pollination however the fruit is smaller.

Cherry - Minnie Royal

$59.00 ($54.00-$59.00 choose a size)

It is a medium to large size red cherry with a firm texture Fruiting can be as early as November. The tree is very productive and has been known to set heavy crops in southern California. Chill hours can be as low as 200 hours.

Babaco (Grafted)

$99.00

Grafted Babacos don't suffer from root_Rot. Cutting grown Babacos can fall over easier as well. Grafted varieties are usually harder to propagate and can be good when your climate is ideal for them. An attractive torpedo shaped fruit with effervescent flesh. The texture of the golden fruit is light and refreshing. The slightly acid flavour has a hint of strawberry, pineapple and pawpaw and can be made into a tasty thirst quenching drink.

Mango - Florigon

$59.00 ($59.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Definitely the winner in the taste department. The soft sweet flesh melts in your mouth. The fruit has a small seed and virtually no fibre and great flavour. Considered by some to be too small for the market it certainly makes up for its lack of size with taste. Yellow skinned, excellent quality fruits. Sets well in subtropics. Moderately resistant to Anthracnose, susceptible to Black Spot. Average wt. 300g. (Video - Grafting a Florigon Mango)

Kiwiberry - Issai Reviews & Tips

WINDELLAMA, NSW

Kiwiberry - Issai

I chose this plant following extensive searches on youtube and other websites on growing kiwi fruit in general. Kiwiberry, depending on who tells the story, produces fruit in only a year or so, versus five or more years for fuzzy kiwis. The taste of kiwiberry was a clincher, it is similar to fuzzy kiwi, but sweeter and different enough to be unique. Unlike fuzzy kiwi it requires no peeling, the entire fruit is edible. Fruits are smaller than fuzzy kiwi, just a nice mouthful.

Kiwiberry - Issai

I had never eaten Kiwiberry but the idea of fruit that tasted like kiwifruit but didn't require peeling or cutting appealed to me. I simply planted the vine in well prepared soil and kept watered

The fruit is lovely and so far has not had fruit fly strike. The birds don't notice it either. I find our homegrown fruits sweeter than the shop bought fruit - perhaps because it's not picked as early. It's a very vigorous deciduous vine and likes to t...
