Noni Fruit

$49.00 ($24.00-$49.00 choose a size)

Medicinally this odd looking, pungent fruit is said to cure everything from stone-fish wounds to digestive upsets to far more serious disease. A concoction from the bark, leaves, roots and fruit can be drunk. When ripe or overripe the skin of the fruit becomes almost translucent and the flesh turns soft to develop an unpleasant odour. The odour has led to nickname of the 'starvation fruit' due to the fact that you would have to be starving to eat it as a fresh fruit. Strictly tropical climate only. Noni will flower and fruit from under one year old with care and the right micro climate. So worth trying in pots.

Dwarf Orange - Navelina

$44.00

A Spanish variety. Navelina produces fruit of excellent quality and brilliant colour, very early in the season. Good fruit size and naturally develops an outstanding deep red orange skin which is very attractive. Trees are compact and smaller growing than most varieties of orange, when grown on Flying Dragon rootstock it is a very small tree, well suited to container and balcony growing.

Burgundy skin with reddish pink flesh and smooth, delicious Guava flavour. Fruit is medium sized to about 6-8cm, the tree backyard sized with attractive burgundy red foliage and pink flowers. Great for eating fresh, but needs protection from fruit fly and birds, which may spread the seed to create weed trees. A new product to Daleys, so may be some time before we have good supply.
