These plants are often purchased together. Also check plant information for suitability in your orchard.

Lime - Tahitian

$44.95 ($39.00-$99.00 choose a size)

The small to medium fruit is pale lemon-yellow with smooth thin skin. The flesh is a translucent pale green, tender and juicy with a true acid lime flavour. It is best to pick the fruit green as it can suffer from rot if left to ripen on the tree.

Muscadine Grape - Adonis

$21.90 ($17.75-$79.00 choose a size)

Large ripe fruits (20-25mm) are golden bronze in colour, sweet and juicy with a delicious and distinctive fruity flavour. Highly disease resistant and should not require spraying making them ideal for coastal climates and the subtropics. This variety is owned by FAVGRO. The purchaser agrees that propagation of the vines for sale, without authorisation from the breeder is prohibited. 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.

Jujube - Honey Jar

$119.00 ($119.00-$124.90 choose a size)

Sweet and crunchy when fresh, the Honey Jar has a classic jujube flavour & crispness with a blue gum honey flavour. This smaller, round jujube fruit is said to develop a unique caramel apple flavour as it dries. The variety is a heavy producer and harvest can be extended with multiple pickings. Early season.

Jujube - Sugar Cane

$119.00 ($119.00-$124.00 choose a size)

Early season harvest of small to medium, round to elongated fruit. Extremely sweet fruit with crisp texute, and good resistance to splitting. The tree is very vigorous, but unfortunately it can be thorny. Jujubes are well suited to the hot dry conditions of inland Australia

Jujube - Li

$119.00 ($119.00-$139.00 choose a size)

Large and round in shape. The texture is crisp and fresh fruit have an excellent flavour. Fruit can be picked at the yellow/green stage however the best flavour is obtained when half the fruit has turned reddish brown. Mature fruits are 40-60mm in diameter. Early - Mid season ripening (Feb-April) Self fertile

Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)

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

Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, well suited to growing in small backyards and can be kept to 2m with pruning. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions. Seedless when grown on their own. If cross pollinating with another variety they can have seeds in the flesh as shown in the display picture.

Well our grape vine is getting new shoots which after being dormant is so exciting. This is our first season. Hope it likes Sydney and the possums don't get to the fruit first

Grape - Pink Iona

Vine grows beautifully all over my pergola, fruits in huge quantities, but very pulpy texture, I made wine from it last year and the results are very refreshing with it's own distinct aroma, very little problem with Downy Mildue
