Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions. Seedless when grown on their own. If cross pollinating with another variety they can have seeds in the flesh as shown in the display picture.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 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.

NARRACAN, VIC

Purple Sugar Cane

Love this plant. I chose this plant because eventually I wanted a wind break for my banana plants. Also for nostalgia reasons. It reminds me of holidaying through Queensland as a kid. When I got the sugar cane I left it in It's pot for 2 weeks inside to let it settle and acclimatise then re potted it into a bigger pot. I have kept it inside next to a south facing window under grow lights to see it through winter. After the last frost I will move it outdoors under my veranda. See how it grows.

Grows very fast, water it plenty and give it sun, basically big grass to snack on.

I love sugar cane juice and chewing on the stalk. This plant needs a lot of water and fertiliser for large stalks. Grows happily in Melbourne.
