Black Sapote - Colossal

$69.00

Seedling selection from Kyogle, very large fruit and self pollinating. Seedless when not pollinated. Closely related to the Persimmon this attractive glossy foliaged tree produces a fruit often called the 'Chocolate Pudding Fruit'. Delicious when eaten as a desert with cream and a touch of Rum or vanilla.

Lychee - Salathiel

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

Tree has an open dome shape with excellent quality fruit. Well suited to subtropical conditions. Beautiful coloured fruit with very small seed. Needs protection from wind when young. Mid season

Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)

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

Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, well suited to growing in small backyards and can be kept to 2m with pruning. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions. Seedless when grown on their own. If cross pollinating with another variety they can have seeds in the flesh as shown in the display picture.

Dwarf Tangelo - Minneola

$49.00

A dwarfing mandarin-grapefruit cross that is the juiciest of all citrus. Flavour is very rich and best eaten when fully ripe. The Dwarf Tangelo is a heavy cropper. For pollination, any early flowering mandarin will assist, for example Satsumas, Nules, Emperor or Imperial.

Pear - Flordahome

$39.00

Large fruit with green skin and thin tender white flesh. The flesh is very sweet with a juicy melting mild taste. Stores well and is very productive. Subtropical variety, chill 350 hours.
  Special

Pineapple - Red

Bought one of these about two years ago and have it growing in a pot, just noticed it has big red fruit forming with purple flowers on it. I'm on the Central Coast of NSW, between Sydney & Newcastle, it's been a pretty warm & very humid summer this year.

Pineapple - Red

Decorative fruit that stays on the plant for almost a year. Highly fibrous with little juice. Tetraploid with 100 chromosomes

PADDINGTON, NSW

Growing fast and beautifully in the front. Very sunny and generally quite dry position. Much less red than I expected, but that might be because of too much sun or too little watering. It is also very spiky, more so than normal pineapples.

Pineapple - Red

These are much hardier than normal pineapples and happily fruit in the shade in northern New Zealand. And as a cash crop, the gorgeous flowers-much showier than standard pineapple flowers-can fetch more than the fruit!
