Lime - Australian Desert 'Abundance' PBR

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

Selection of unique native Lime from inland Australia, with great flavour and zing. "Abundance" is an earlier ripening cultivar with 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.

Canistel Aurea

$79.00

Mango - Elephant Tusk

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

Large, long and thin, with a characteristic thin seed. Fruit remains green when ripe, gradually turning yellow. Flesh is pale yellow and sweetly mango flavoured. The flesh constitutes 80% of the fruit and contains very few fibres. Very popular in SE Asia especially Vietnam

Mango - Lemon Zest

$84.00

Sweet mango with a zesty lemon flavour. Low in fibre with yellow flesh, the variety was bred in Florida from Lemon Meringue variety

Yellow Mangosteen

$34.00 ($24.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Yellow Mangosteen is a round fruit with very tart yellow segments. The high acidity makes it ideal for jams and jellies but removing the seed and skin can be time consuming. Easier to grow in the subtropics than the purple mangosteen, but the flavour is altogether different. The tree grows well in full sun and shade. It will tolerate and continue to fruit heavily in drought conditions. The tree is very attractive, with large drooping leaves and a layered form. The fruit can reach 8-10 cm in length and looks highly ornamental when in the tree. Pairs so well with a Miracle Fruit to reduce the acid flavour and bring out the interesting tropical flavours.

Nam Nam

$49.00

Belonging to the bean family the nam nam is a small multi-stemmed tree. The texture of the fruit surface is rough and wrinkled, pale greenish/yellow and dull looking. The flesh is juicy and yellow in colour. It tastes sourish and has large seeds. The mature fruit can be eaten fresh or cooked with sugar to make sweets (compote). It can also be made into a fruit salad, pickled, or be used to prepare a special 'sambal.' The tree makes an attractive ornamental plant in home gardens and is also potted and grown as bonsai plant.Suited to tropical areas only
