Longan - Seedling

$14.75 ($14.75-$59.00 choose a size)

A close relative to the Lychee tree but much larger, stronger and more cold tolerant. The fruit is deliciously sweet. Seed selected from the superior varieties. Even though not true to type the benefits include a vigorous tree making it more suitable for marginal climates. Cincturing at about 3-4 years of age can force earlier fruiting than normally expected from seedling trees.

Carambola Starfruit - Kary

Flushes well from spring to autumn months. More cold tolerant that what I would thought. I would put starfruit in the same hardiness group as mangoes, longan, custard apples and jabuticaba. give Starfruit a try.

Ours are pretty much as good as you get. Satisified with the quality of the tree with high yields. Fruit is bland in flavour, but that is the same with all Carambolas.

Not very old, lost most of its leaves due to transport shock from Kyogle I'd say but putting on lots of new growth in spring, hopefully its warm enough in Sydney.Put on some very solid growth over summer. Has already started to flower in autumn.

I think my tree would have done better if it was in a less windy position.  I am surprised it has not died from the gusty winds.  Had a few fruits 2 years ago but they did not have enough time to grow and mature properly before it gets too cold.  I ...

Bought this plant from Daleys years ago. It achieved about 1.5 spindly metres growth, and then nearly died from frost, due to our marginal growing conditions. It held on, and, this year, has become very much more lush in appearance and looks like a st...

I dont mind the fruit, and the flowers are lovely when they smother the brances. i had to move this plant during the wet in 2010-11 floods. It handles transplanting quite well and is powering away in new spot, putting on lots of flowers summer 2011
