$99.00

Selection of unique native Lime from inland Australia, with great flavour and zing. "Abundance" is an earlier ripening cultivar with 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.

FERNBROOK, NSW

Pinto Peanut

I have a large flock of guinea fowl, and I'm hoping that this year they will be able to forage on some yummy treats. The plants arrived in excellent condition - the weather is variable in this cool, temperate zone, so I'm establishing a few beds for them in areas they like to forage, and rooting cuttings to establish more plants faster

On delivery the cuttings were 10 out of 10 quality. Was looking for a legume for ground cover to aerate soil and provide nitrogen. Have planted and are doing well partly shade.
