Yacon - Apple of the Earth

$19.75 ($4.90-$19.75 choose a size)

Also known as the 'Earth Apple' this is one of the ancient crops of the Inca's. This relative of the sunflower is popular to the people of Columbia, Ecuador and Argentina. The plant produces large tubers similar in appearance to sweet potatoes, but they have a much sweeter taste and crunchy flesh. The tubers can be eaten raw as a refreshing treat on their own, finely sliced and mixed into salads,boiled or baked, fried as chips or prepared as a pickle. There is also commercial interest as a flavouring for yoghurt. They are sweet, juicy and almost calorie free. The main stem can also be used like celery. The texture and flavour have been described as a cross between a fresh apple and watermelon. The plants are vigorous, herbaceous, perennial and extremely hardy tolerating hot summers, drought and poor soils. The foliage of the plant dies back in the winter after flowering at which time the tubers are harvested carefully to avoid damage to the tubers. They tend to continue sweetening if left in a cool dry and dark place for a week or two before consumption. The reddish rhizomes are then replanted for the next season.

Lime - Australian Desert 'Standout' PBR

$99.00

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.

Dwarf Banana - Ducasse

$29.00 ($12.90-$59.00 choose a size)

Also known as Sugar Banana, this small fruited banana is a winner on taste and texture, with a sweet, fragrant flavour. They ripen to a bright yellow when they are at their creamiest. The tree itself is well suited to backyards, reaching a moderate height of 2-3m. it also displays some tolerance to cooler growing areas, though frost is to be avoided. Bananas can flower and fruit at any time of the year and add a tropical look to any garden----

Myoga Ginger

Bought two of the plants in Oct 2020 and was surprised by a flower bud in Dec 2020. I wasn't expecting any buds this year so it was truly a wonderful surprise. Potted it in a well draining soil with perlite and topped with sugar cane mulch

Myoga Ginger

Surprisingly it grew well in Newy - Warm temperate. Planted it in Autumn, and it died down during winter. Spring comes and its out again. Fertilized regularly and mulched with cane.
