Carambola Starfruit - Giant Siam

$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A very large fruited selection with sweet juicy flesh. The juicy transparent flesh has a citrus quality with a floral accent and is delicious eaten fresh, made into juice or into a delicious chutney Carambola trees have an attractive weeping habit, producing a profusion of pink flowers. The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back

Blue Quandong

One of my top picks for bird attracting trees (they love the flowers). Branches can break once they get heavy with foliage at the ends so don't plant near structures. Our tree is 17yrs old and ~20 m high. One of my favourite trees in the yard

Blue Quandong

Ours outgrew our garden in 6 years. Timber and branches very splitty in even mild breezes. Either be prepared to coppice it HARD, or plant it well away from anything you don't want it to drop branches on. Awesome pioneer, but not really for suburban yard

Has a great open but shady canopy.  It attracts birds,  Flowers prolifically with lots of blue covered nuts. No problems growing in Sydney

This is a tough little tree, surviving with very poor soil, windy conditions and little water. I love the shape of this grand tree when mature.
