Finger Lime - Sunshine Yellow

$34.95 ($34.95-$79.00 choose a size)

A small bright yellow finger lime with tasty large vesicles. A heavy cropping variety with attractive fruit.

Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot

$49.00 ($29.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Much more compact in growth habit than the King White Shahtoot. These delicious sweet fruits can reach 10cm in length. Ideal for back yards and we consider it a must have fruit tree for the back yard. The best way to eat mulberries is fresh from the tree. If some should make it to the kitchen bench they make excellent pies, jams, wines and sauces. Multiple crops are possible by pruning directly after your first crop. Suitable for most regions of Australia, although it can be susceptible to damage from late frosts. The red shahtoot is ideal for growing in pots and containers due to it small growing habit and it is ideal for school gardens as it does not produce fruits that stain and the sweet fruits are very appealing to children. This variety is best suited to warm subtropical climates and does not perform well in temperate climate where it tends to drop their fruit.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black

$34.00 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)

This mulberry has a very low chill factor making it ideal for our subtropical climate. Pruning after fruiting allows it to be kept under 3mtrs, and also encourages multiply cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics. There has been feedback that this variety doesn't perform as well in Temperate Climates.

Macadamia Bush Nut

$3.75 ($3.75-$24.75 choose a size)

This was the first Australian native food plant to be grown by non-indigenous Australians as a commercial crop. Genetic diversity of this valuable nut species has been reduced significantly through land clearing. Very hardy and easily grown along most of Australia's east coast and even down into Victoria.

Kiwiberry - Issai

$28.90 ($28.90-$28.90 choose a size)

The only selection that is self fertile, producing hairless Kumquat sized fruit. Originating in Japan, this selection will start cropping in its 2nd year. Taste is similar to the normal Kiwifruit. While having hermaphrodite flowers and achieving fruit set on its own, if you have the room, plant another variety for a more abundant harvest.
  Special  

Muscadine Grape - Noble

$19.90 ($17.75-$79.00 choose a size)

Most popular red muscadine grape for wine or juice production. It is self-fertile. Yields and disease resistance are high, and berry ripening is fairly uniform. Flavour is less musky than most muscadine grapes. Excellent fresh eating or good for wine making. Exclusive to Daleys this is a recently released Florida variety. They are vigorous vines and should not be planted where they can escape into native bushland, as they would quickly smother trees and shrubs around them.

2018: I bloody hate this thing, and if it wasn't a gift with a story, I would let the bloody thing die.I was told this was the citrus to grow in Australia, as it is hardier than most introduced species and likes our heat better, and to that, I call hor...

the Rainforest pearl is a very spikey tree. In a suburban block it is  just not good, too much of a hazzard. On a rural block it would be good, as it is low maintanance, but just not for me. Had to dig it up, and it now lives in the great orchard in t...

This will be the fingerlimes second year.  It is covered in flowers so fingers crossed we get some fruit this year.  Last year it had only just entered the pot and no fruit.
