Dwarf Mulberry - Red Shahtoot

$49.00 ($29.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Much more compact in growth habit than the King White Shahtoot. These delicious sweet fruits can reach 10cm in length. Ideal for back yards and we consider it a must have fruit tree for the back yard. The best way to eat mulberries is fresh from the tree. If some should make it to the kitchen bench they make excellent pies, jams, wines and sauces. Multiple crops are possible by pruning directly after your first crop. Suitable for most regions of Australia, although it can be susceptible to damage from late frosts. The red shahtoot is ideal for growing in pots and containers due to it small growing habit and it is ideal for school gardens as it does not produce fruits that stain and the sweet fruits are very appealing to children. This variety is best suited to warm subtropical climates and does not perform well in temperate climate where it tends to drop their fruit.

Nashi Pear - Chojuro

$39.00 ($39.00-$44.00 choose a size)

Coffee - Blue Mountain Kenya

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

The Blue Mountain Kenya coffee is one of the highest rated coffee varieties in the world with an outstanding balance of flavour, body and aroma. An excellent garden variety similar to K7 in growth, with a less dense habit. When grown in acidic soil this characteristic will transfer to a sweet and tart flavor in the beans. Blue Mountain Kenya matures a little earlier than K7 and does not crop as heavily because of its more open branching.Both varieties have bronze colored new tip growth which becomes green as the leaves mature.

Coffee - K7

$19.75 ($4.90-$49.00 choose a size)

Resistant to both 'Berry Disease' and 'Coffee Rust' this tree was developed and recommended for growing in the Northern Rivers Area by NSW Agriculture Department after extensive trials at Alstonville NSW. An open spreading variety, it is a reliable cropper, producing large flavour-filled beans; it is also the recommended variety for those who intend to harvest mechanically.

Shrub native to Asia produces small, orange-yellow flowers followed by fruits, 1cm in diameter produced in in open, branched clusters.

After fruiting prune to keep to an attractive shrub to 2mts high.Phalsa during transit may drop some leaves. It is a hardy plant and with acclimatisation in its new location it will respond well and bounce back. It can take 3 weeks for plants to recover from transit stress.

Persimmon - American (Seedling)

I bought this persimmon on an impulse when I bought a Fuyu. I only bought one as I'm interested in this one as an ornamental (at this stage) rather than for fruit. It has grown wonderfully so far but still only very small
