Longan - Seedling

$17.75 ($17.75-$59.00 choose a size)

A close relative to the Lychee tree but much larger, stronger and more cold tolerant. The fruit is deliciously sweet. Seed selected from the superior varieties. Even though not true to type the benefits include a vigorous tree making it more suitable for marginal climates. Cincturing at about 3-4 years of age can force earlier fruiting than normally expected from seedling trees.

Pandanus - Edible

$39.00 ($24.90-$69.00 choose a size)

Widely cultivated for use in Asian cooking and basket making. It has a nutty fragrance and is most commonly used in rice dishes or tied in a bundle and cooked with food. Also useful in flower arrangements. A low growing plant to 1m with long narrow blade like leaves and woody aerial roots. In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping. Outside of the tropics, well worth trying as indoor plant in winter with a warm, sunny aspect. Allow the plant to dry out over the winter months.

Mango - Florigon

$74.00 ($74.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Definitely the winner in the taste department. The soft sweet flesh melts in your mouth. The fruit has a small seed and virtually no fibre and great flavour. Considered by some to be too small for the market it certainly makes up for its lack of size with taste. Yellow skinned, excellent quality fruits. Sets well in subtropics. Moderately resistant to Anthracnose, susceptible to Black Spot. Average wt. 300g. (Video - Grafting a Florigon Mango)

Achacha

$19.75 ($19.75-$129.00 choose a size)

A cousin of the mangosteen, Achachas are tangy and refreshing with a delicate subtle sweetness, a fine balance between sweetness and acidity, producing an unusual taste sensation. Fruit should be picked mature as it does not ripen further on storage. Originating from the Bolivian part of the Amazon basin in South America, the Bolivian name of the fruit is Achachairu and translated means honey kiss. Achacha is protected by Plant Breeders Right (PBR) and cannot be grown or propagated without licence agreement with Achacha Fruit Group

JOYNER, QLD

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

I was looking for a small fruit tree that I could use for various recipes in deserts and as charcuterie. The plant is growing well and seems to like where I have planted it.

Murrays Beach, NSW, Australia

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

I planted this sandpaper variety about a year ago. It is now over 2m tall, however it has very long branches and straggly. Do the figs only grow on new growth? Can you prune this tree very hard? I will have at least 60 fruits this season.

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

Ours is less than three years old. It lives in a pot in part shade. We ate our first ripe, soft fig and it was delicious. It was like placing a spoonful Of jam in your mouth. It was sweet, it had a little hint of citrus tang and a European fig aftertaste.

Layphi Chang ★ 3y ago

Macquarie Fields, NSW, Australia

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

Bought 3 about 3 years ago. They grew vigorously reaching over 2.5m high each. Grows more like a bush than a tree. Had hundreds of fruits but not one was edible. They were all rock hard. So made the painful decision to remove them all this year.

Brisbane, QLD., Australia

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

I have had my sandpaper fig for almost a year. It is in a large pot and gets full sun until midday then filtered to little for the rest of the day. It is about six feet tall very bushy and has produced dozens of fruit.

Mindy1 ★★★★ 5y ago

SUNBURY, VIC, Australia

Looked interesting and I love native plants. Native plants that I can eat are even better. Growing in pot for 7 months, has really taken off since October (four months old then) and now growing about 13 fruits that I can see.

WULKURAKA, QLD, Australia

I purchased this tree from Daleys only a few weeks ago and it is already fruiting at less than a metre high! Nearly 10 figs I have counted, which is more than the leaves that are on the tree! Not sure whether they will drop or not, but I am quite astou...

Black River, QLD, Australia

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

Great selection. 2 In 350ltr fabric pots. Once roots established, it will not stop fruiting. Only approx 1 meter tall & 6 months in pots they have produced more then 30 fruits each. Have trimmed back to train tree & second flush of fruit has appeared.

Bron Ramey 7y ago

Beresfield, NSW, Australia

Fig - Sandpaper Birds Eye

I have taken out the leader and the plant is very happy on the outer edge of a shaded 'rainforest' garden. Watch out for scale! It's now 2 years old and a metre high, quite close between a Burdekin plum and Walking stick palms. I'll cincture soon.
