Lime - Australian Desert 'Standout' PBR
$89.00
Selection of unique native Lime from inland Australia, with great flavour and zing. "Standout" is a later ripening selection with large fruit and leaves. Desert Limes have outstanding adaptation to heat and cold from its natural habitat. Trees grow to only 2.5m. Plants are thorny to prevent herbivores from browsing but top-most branches out of their reach are thornless and these quality grafted plants are produced from these thornless upper branches. From flowering to fruiting is generally only 3 months, making this a great backyard plant. This plant has Plant Breeder's Rights over it.

Cooking the fruit is essential to remove the irritating Calcium oxalate crystals present in the raw fruit. Seedlings are grown from a 'thornless' parent but some seedlings may have some thorns that will need managing

Gac
$21.00 ($21.00-$29.00 choose a size)
A perennial melon noted for its orange-red flesh, native to SE Asia. The aril around the seeds is a deep brilliant red, high in the carotenes lycopene and betacarotene. Traditionally, it is much esteemed as a superfood and is cooked in a variety of ways to enhance flavour. It can be made into both sweet and savoury dishes. Green fruits can also be cooked as a vegetable. Vines are either male or female so both are required for the plants to set fruit. Unusually, Gac vines may change between being male and female and may change from one season to the next. Hand pollinating allows for a better crop. They are a very vigorous vine and grow to 15m in any direction and require yearly pruning to suit the trellis built for it. In fact pruning the vegetative growth will increase fruit size. Suited to subtropical climates, but can be grown outside of this range with care. Will lose its leaves for the winter in a cool climate. In tropical areas its vigorous habit needs care.
