Australian Round Lime

$49.00 ($29.00-$49.00 choose a size)

The round knobbly fruit, usually reaching 3.5-4 cm in diameter have a distinctive and recognisably citrus flavour, with a similar globular texture to the more commonly known Finger Lime. Also known as Dooja or Gympie lime. Occurs naturally on the fringe of lowland sub-tropical rainforests of southeast Qld, from Brisbane northwards. This slender tree can reach up to 15m in height and 6-8m in diameter with multiple trunks, making it the most vigorous of the native citrus. The round lime is suitable for including in cordials, sauces, marmalades and lime flavouring. The skin is very thick (up to 7mm) and has potential for culinary use, such as grating into spice pastes, or for candied peel and may also have potential for essential oil extraction.

Mango - Florigon

$74.00 ($74.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Definitely the winner in the taste department. The soft sweet flesh melts in your mouth. The fruit has a small seed and virtually no fibre and great flavour. Considered by some to be too small for the market it certainly makes up for its lack of size with taste. Yellow skinned, excellent quality fruits. Sets well in subtropics. Moderately resistant to Anthracnose, susceptible to Black Spot. Average wt. 300g. (Video - Grafting a Florigon Mango)

Grevillea Robyn Gordon

$17.90 ($17.90-$32.00 choose a size)

This variety was discovered in 1981 on David Gordon's property at Glenmorgan in Queensland. It is a hybrid between G. banksii and G. bipinnatifida

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.

$54.00
