Oak - Red

$29.00 ($19.75-$34.95 choose a size)

The northern red oak is a beautiful tree for cooler areas where its autumn foliage can really be appreciated.

Pecan - Shoshonii (B) SP

$39.00 ($29.00-$49.00 choose a size)

A precocious and heavy cropping variety in subtropical areas. Good quality medium to large oval nuts with a thin shell. A vigorous tree with an upright habit that makes an excellent backyard tree. Suited to high density plantings.

Palm - Date Khadrawy

$29.00 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)

Originally from Iraq, Khadrawy are a small date with high moisture content, making it nicely gooey with a rich caramel flavour, though less sweet than the Medjool date. They are a dark mahogany colour with dry, flaky, paper-like skin. The flesh melts in your mouth. Mostly eaten fresh but when dried the sugars can crystallise giving it a crunch. Our palms are small seedlings and are not sexed, they will take about 4-6 years to flower approximately and you will not be able to tell if they are male or female until then. We recommend a planting of at least three to increase your chances of having both a male and a female palm.

Palm - Foxtail

$19.75 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)

First discovered in 1978 in a tiny area within Melville National Park, this palm is now one of the most widely planted in the world. Famous for it bushy fronds and slightly bulbous base, it lends a exotic, tropical look to landscaping. Able to survive heat, salt winds and seasonally dry conditions. Slow growing. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.

Maple - Japanese

$19.75 ($19.75-$49.00 choose a size)

Maples are renowned for their brilliant Autumn colour in shades of yellow, orange or red. Attractive small tree. Prefers cool, deep, moisture retentive soil in a sheltered site.

Taro - Black Magic

$14.90

A highly ornamental pond plant with burgundy stems and leaves, it is also called Elephant Ears due to the shape of the leaves. They are an ideal edge plant for ponds where they can be submerged to a depth of 15cm. Best grown in pots so they do not overcrowd and dominate the pond. They can also be grown in moist, partially shaded spots, in the garden although they will tolerate full sun if they receive plenty of water. Black magic taro also make an attractive house plant. Taro should never be eaten raw, due to the presence of harmful oxalates, which are eliminated with cooking. These substances are particularly high in the leaves. Weed Warning: in tropical areas, Taro can spread over time, especially in waterways, displacing native vegetation. Plant responsibly

Maple - Box Elder

Lose leaves at early onset of winter, so allowing sun to reach ground, whereas many deciduous, especially the more coloured maples, lose leaves later so keeping you cold in winter.
