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.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$44.00 ($44.00-$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.

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 ★ 4y 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 ★★★★ 6y 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 8y 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.
