Dwarf Orange - Cara Cara

$44.00 ($44.00-$99.00 choose a size)

This variety was discovered in Venezuela in 1976. It is smaller than many other navel selections but has pink flesh similar to Star Ruby grapefruit. In South Africa it matures slightly earlier than Washington navel. Although Cara Cara has yet to be evaluated fully under Australian conditions there is considerable interest in it locally. The dwarf rootstock, flying dragon modifies the top growth making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen.

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.

Quince - Smyrna

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

Add some gourmet to your garden! The quince is valued for its high pectin content and is used frequently in jams, jellies and cosmetics. This fruit is one of the few that must be cooked as it is too tart, hard and unpalatable to eat raw. The quince tree has been cultivated by people for thousands of years. Originating from Turkey and Iran this is a fruit with a fascinating history, it features strongly in the history and mythology of both Greece and Rome. Trees are very long lived and have a beautiful, gnarly twisted appearance, they are exceptionally hardy and can withstand both periods of dry and severe cold. 'Smyrna' is a Turkish variety of Quince with extremely large fruit, light yellow flesh and bright yellow skin. It can be grown as an attractive tree (or multi-stemmed shrub) and has dark green foliage and a very showy bloom

WARRNAMBOOL, VIC

Persimmon - Nightingale

It has only just got some leaf buds on it now, a couple of months after planting in this climate. I wanted a deciduous fruit tree. I have seen one of these locally and it looked beautiful laden with the golden orange fruit and no leaves.

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Nightingale Persimmons and Yellow Excel Figs are thee best fruit in the world. The flavour is not of this Planet. NEED I SAY ANYMORE.

BJ11 ★★★★ 9y ago

CARLISLE, WA, Australia

Planted location #37 (clay loam). Growing very strongly. Required some staking as trunk was not strong enough to support canopy. Pruning and staking has rectified this.

Adrian Van Leest 10y ago

Campbell, ACT, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Peel a hard but nearly ripe Nightingale persimmon and dry it over an air vent for around ten days - truly dios pyros, an experience to die for!

gardengirl ★★★ 14y ago

Illawarra, NSW

I was a bit concerned as this is by far the most expensive tree I bought and my favourite fruit- no signs of life for 2 months. Now the tiniest green bud tips have appeared. Watered very infrequently while dormant.

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

Kids love fruit leathers made in a food dryer, made out of pureed persimmon mixed with yoghurt and they also love persimmon blended into a pancake mixture.

Reville Saw 20y ago

Tabulam, NSW, Australia

Persimmon - Nightingale (A)

The astringent avraieties live up to the name "Dios pyros" (as above) but the NA (non astringent) are not nearly as good. Nightingale is excellent.Also try Mexican persimmon (Diospyros dignya) and the german medlar which also reward the same patience
