Yellow Mangosteen

$34.00 ($28.90-$79.00 choose a size)

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree. Pairs so well with a Miracle Fruit to reduce the acid flavour and bring out the interesting tropical flavours.

Pandanus - Edible

$37.00 ($24.90-$69.00 choose a size)

Widely cultivated for use in Asian cooking and basket making. It has a nutty fragrance and is most commonly used in rice dishes or tied in a bundle and cooked with food. Also useful in flower arrangements. A low growing plant to 1m with long narrow blade like leaves and woody aerial roots. In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping. Outside of the tropics, well worth trying as indoor plant in winter with a warm, sunny aspect. Allow the plant to dry out over the winter months, but maintain humidity

Kaffir Plum

Growing well in FNQ Wet Tropics. Plant looks wilted after planting for the last few weeks. I ordered 3 others from another company (I didn't realise they are dioecious). All of those survived well and are fully thriving. This one is still struggling and limp-ing along. Growing in FNQ Wet Tropics.

Kaffir Plum

We have ~40 yo trees planted as street trees here. They cope well with strong southerly winds & are now buttressing up on the root zone. Great shade tree. I am currently growing more from seed to extend the plantation.

Kaffir Plum

Our Kaffir Plum in Perth WA is a large, fast growing tree, which has sprouted about 2m of new growth each year. It is taller than our 2 story house now - at 7 yrs old it has a spread of 8m by 7m.Excellent shade tree, very smart growth habit.

Give them plenty of room. Mine is at least 20 metres tall and about the same wide.Sulphur Crested Cockatoos make an absolute mess with the fruit and leaves. You will be raking up daily for months once the fruit develops if you have those birds around.

Kaffir Plum

Give this tree plenty of space to grow. I live in the Swan Valley in Perth and my tree is approx 10m high and 10m wide. It is loaded with fruit and picking season for us starts October.

I quite like these sour fruits...plus the tree thrives here.I have planted them more for shade and shelter than anything. This one is only 6 months old and I chopped the top off just recently to encourage branching. The dog is for size comparison.....N...
