Loquat - Nagasakiwase
$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)
The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black
$19.75 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)
This mulberry has a very low chill factor making it ideal for our subtropical climate. Pruning after fruiting allows it to be kept under 3mtrs, and also encourages multiply cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics. There has been feedback that this variety doesn't perform as well in Temperate Climates.

Coffee - Blue Mountain Kenya
$19.75 ($4.90-$19.75 choose a size)
The Blue Mountain Kenya coffee is one of the highest rated coffee varieties in the world with an outstanding balance of flavour, body and aroma. An excellent garden variety similar to K7 in growth, with a less dense habit. When grown in acidic soil this characteristic will transfer to a sweet and tart flavor in the beans. Blue Mountain Kenya matures a little earlier than K7 and does not crop as heavily because of its more open branching.Both varieties have bronze colored new tip growth which becomes green as the leaves mature.
