Loquat - Nagasakiwase

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

The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.

Avocado - Hass (A)

$54.00 ($54.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Most popular variety due to both its superior taste and excellent keeping qualities. Medium sized, pear-shaped fruit has an excellent creamy, flesh. The leathery rough dark-purple skin turns to black when ripe. H Aug-Dec. Hass is an A type variety and for good fruit set a B type variety is needed for cross pollination. Suggested varieties to grow alongside a Hass are Shepard, Sharwill, Fuerte, Bacon (if you're in a cooler climate)and Linda. Happy fresh avocado smashing.

Pistachio - Sirora - Female

$79.00 ($79.00-$89.00 choose a size)

High yielding female tree, pair with a male for pollination. Grows to be a small tree or shrub. Best suited to areas with cold winters and hot dry summers, requiring 1000 hours below 7.5 degrees in the winter. Well suited to hot inland areas of southern Australia. Fruits ripen earlier than the Kerman selection, extending harvests. Summer and autumn need to be dry to prevent fungal problems. Pistachios are dioecious meaning male and females flowers are produced on separate trees, one of each will be required for fruit set. Spreading habit, wider than it is tall. Sirora was developed in Australia by CSIRO and has shown to be a more even bearer than other varieties which tend toward biennial cropping, meaning they alternately bear lots of nuts one year, then very little the following year

Pine Nut

$29.00 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)

An attractive large pine tree that bears cones of edible nuts. These are considered a delicacy in Mediterranean style cooking, due to their sweet, buttery flavour. Trees can be expected to start producing cones from about year 6. But can take longer. Each cone holds about 50 nuts and 100 kg of cones holds about 20 kg of nuts. Grows best in dry cooler areas with excellent drainage. Trees can set nuts on their own, but cones may be poorly filled. Plant two or more to improve nut set.

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

Shirley ★★★★★ 3months ago

WAMBOIN, NSW

Loquat - Bessell Brown

Doing very well. My son recommended it as the flowers have a lovely fragrance

Annette ★★★★★ 2y ago

MILBONG, QLD

Loquat - Bessell Brown

Plant was great value and a lovely size plant. I bought this for my husband's birthday as a memory of his childhood years when he remembers enjoying the fruit from the tree. It will suit our subtropical climate to a tee. Looks so lush, is frost free and is drought tolerant which are two good reasons I bought the tree.

Loquat - Bessell Brown

This plant is thriving. I love this fruit and had a tree at the previous house and missed the fruit even though I had to fight the birds for them. The new plant has lots of new shoots on it now.

Loquat - Bessell Brown

I purchased a Bessell Brown 5 years ago and subjected it to neglect. This year, for the first time, the tree has fruited prolifically and, as we are in the middle of winter, no fruit fly has attacked the ripening fruit.Big delicious fruits!

This tree growing well, but still no flowers ( Apr 11 ). I planted in a position with only afternoon sun, as I thought it may fruit in semi-shade. Still hoping as I love loquats.

Unknown variety, old and large tree which produced a large crop last June, but very light crop this year. Very tasty fruit and lovely shady tree
