The tree can produce a number or crops each year, making for quite a long harvest season. Our selection is called the acerola Florida Sweet Cherry and is a pleasant eating variety that is not too sour. The acerola is well suited to pot culture where it can be kept to a smaller size. It could also be grown this way in cooler climates where it can be moved to a warmer position in the winter.

Aurea produces a large elongated fruit of excellent quality. The fruit is delicious eaten fresh or with a little salt and lemon juice added. Canistels are often added to sweet custards or made into delicious eggnog-like milk shakes.

Cinnamon Tree

$27.00 ($27.00-$49.00 choose a size)

Highly ornamental tree and the source of cinnamon spice. The beautiful red new growth is highly distinctive. The spice itself is the inner bark that is peeled from the branches after 2 years. Scrape the outer bark, then peel the inner bark, leave for a day so that the inner bark curls into cinnamon sticks as it dries. They are distinctive in the many layered quill they produce that, when crushed, will shard rather than snap. Cinnamon is a very elegant and useful aromatic, much kinder to the palate than other spices. It imparts a distinctively sweet flavour when used. The leaves themselves are higher in clove oil than cinnamaldehyde, the active component of the sweet aromatic scent of cinnamon. Weed Warning: Can be invasive in tropical areas

Orange - Valencia Seedless

Its a sweet orange that is the favoured choice for juicing. Attractive compact tree. Often it will carry new season blossoms whilst also holding ripening fruits, as they stay well on the tree into summer. The scent of orange blossoms in the air is a wonderful aroma to indulge in. Lots of pollinators will be attracted to the blossoms. Self pollinating so one tree is all you need. Match Valencias with Navels and blood oranges for a long season of fruit, flavour and fun.

I really want to grow native fruit so I was excited to be able to order a raspberry plant from Queensland! While only a small plant when I received it, fruit is already beginning to appear on it only a couple of months after planting.

Great raspberry plant! Started getting consistent fruit from the first winter it was in the ground (about 9 months after planting it), Doesnt require much maintenance. Only pick the fruit when it easily falls off.

First year it fruited the fruit was a little bland (I expected this as it was still very tiny and young) It has fruited again this winter with much higher yield and the fruit is very delicious and great quality! Grown in 80L pot.

Quick growing, prolific producer and hardy. It is a great plant for general consumption and as an additive to sauces, chutney and jams. I recommend keeping in a pot as can be invasive.

Lots of nice fruit, but plant needs to be kept under control as can become invasive, spreads very quickly from underground running roots.

Great producer, I have had nearly 6 months of fruit this year, you can pick fruit nearly every day, not as tasty as the regular Raspberry, but worthwhile in any garden, watch the thorns though.
