Maple - Sugar

$29.00 ($9.90-$29.00 choose a size)

Spectacular red, yellow or orange autumn foliage. Prefers rich moist, well-drained soil in a protected, shady position with full sun when mature. This tree is the principal source of maple sugar. Nursery stock is deciduous from April on.

Yellow Mangosteen

$34.00 ($28.90-$79.00 choose a size)

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree. Pairs so well with a Miracle Fruit to reduce the acid flavour and bring out the interesting tropical flavours.

Booyong - Black

Nice foliage drought and frost tolerant have a small pocket of shelter to try this one. I hope it thrives. Planted in Nangus NSW in riverina so frost in open, but planted in sheltered creek bank so fingers crossed

After previous post my Booyongs are 1.5 meters high. Red Cedars are over 2 meters high. Strangler figs are over 1 meter high and have success with Ball Nuts, Candlenuts, Ivory Curl, Flame Trees and Syzygium Francisii. All in Northern Victoria.

Argyrodendron actinophyllum - Black Booyong

Very exited that my Black Booyong plants have survived their first 12 months of harsh frost and 40 degree temperatures in Victoria. My White Beech and Ficus Obliqua have also survivied. Unfortunately my Tamarinds didnt but will give them another go.
