They are a very sweet yellow fleshed freestone variety, which is more soft and juicy in texture compared to standard peaches. Angel's will crop in warm subtropical climates. Requires about 150 hours chill. This makes them very low chill and they will often flower quite early in late winter Suitable from Rockhampton south to the subtropics and coastal NSW. Peaches can be protected from birds and insects with exclusion netting. This variety has Plant Breeder Rights over it.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black

$23.90 ($21.00-$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.

One of the few trees already on the property. The seed pods are unusual and make good boats for the kids. Attractive orange flowers.
