Pollinators for the Blueberry - Blue Rose

Cross pollinate with these Northern Highbush varieties for fruit set

Blueberry - Margaret

$24.90

A highbush selection requiring 750-1200 hours of chill, it does best on cooler climates. Earliest fruiting variety from early December. Good size fruit. Most important. Blueberries require an acid soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. They also require a free draining loose friable soil. They dislike clay heavy soils. To aide the successful establishment of bushes it is best to build up beds by incorporating peat moss and garden soils at a 50/50 ratio. Peat is preferred as it is naturally acidic.

$27.00 ($17.75-$49.00 choose a size)

One of the fastest growing and most adaptable variety of blueberries, Reka is a heavy bearer and has great tasting fruit. A Northern Highbush variety it is self fertile but will benefit from having another variety nearby such as the Denise.

Jujube - Honey Jar

$119.00 ($119.00-$124.90 choose a size)

Sweet and crunchy when fresh, the Honey Jar has a classic jujube flavour & crispness with a blue gum honey flavour. This smaller, round jujube fruit is said to develop a unique caramel apple flavour as it dries. The variety is a heavy producer and harvest can be extended with multiple pickings. Early season.

Jujube - Tiger GA866

$119.00 ($119.00-$124.00 choose a size)

Crisp, shiny, elongated fruit that's thin skinned with good taste and resistance to cracking. Fruit ripens late in season, good eaten fresh and for drying. It looks good on the tree and on the shelf. Small tree with few spines and broad leaves, is highly productive and well suited to high density planting. Pairs well with the Tiger Tooth Early to extend harvest up to 8 weeks. A tree selected from the Chico research station field trial. Well suited to inland Australian dry conditions

Jujube - Chico

$109.00 ($109.00-$139.00 choose a size)

Compact and bushy, perfect for pots with round fruit flattened on the bottom. Look similar to a small apple. Pick when the whole fruit (or at least 80%) has just turned brownish red. Texture is crisp and light we consider it an excellent fresh or dried variety. Fruit size 35-45mm. Developed at the Chico institute in California, this is an early fruiting variety. (Jan - March) Cross pollinate for best results.

Pistachio - Sirora - Female

$79.00 ($79.00-$89.00 choose a size)

High yielding female tree, pair with a male for pollination. Grows to be a small tree or shrub. Best suited to areas with cold winters and hot dry summers, requiring 1000 hours below 7.5 degrees in the winter. Well suited to hot inland areas of southern Australia. Fruits ripen earlier than the Kerman selection, extending harvests. Summer and autumn need to be dry to prevent fungal problems. Pistachios are dioecious meaning male and females flowers are produced on separate trees, one of each will be required for fruit set. Spreading habit, wider than it is tall. Sirora was developed in Australia by CSIRO and has shown to be a more even bearer than other varieties which tend toward biennial cropping, meaning they alternately bear lots of nuts one year, then very little the following year

Dwarf Persimmon - Ichikikijiro (NA)

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

Large, flat fruit of excellent quality, non-astringent and seedless when grown on its own. Being a dwarf variety it is well suited to backyards but is also a good commercial variety. Will fruit as early as March in the subtropics. Ichikikijiro generally produce only one flush of growth in the spring so don't be alarmed if your tree is not growing in summer, this habit contributes to their small stature.

Wax Jambu - Red

$34.00 ($34.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Red waxy skin with crisp white flesh. Highly ornamental as well as sweet and tasty. Fast growing tree bearing attractive red pear shaped fruit that is crunchy and refreshing on a hot summers day. A highly ornamental fruit due to its striking red colour. They generally don't have seeds but may on rare occasions, depending on pollination.

My oldest Blue Rose I've had for 3 years. It's a high chill variety but I live in the middle of Sydney and it's heavily flowering this year. I've had it for almost 2 years. Last year I barely had any fruit due to lack of pollinators and other blueberry...

I already had an early season blueberry bush so why not a mid season one? The blue rose has been repotted into an Azalea mix and has begun to flower right after breaking dormancy. It seems to produce flowers first before leaves?  It has since produced...
