Acerola - Florida Sweet

$29.00 ($18.75-$79.00 choose a size)

This bright red cherry like fruit has varying tastes during different stages as it ripens. When fully ripe the fruit is juicy and aromatic with its acid content giving it a sweet acid apple-like flavour. The tree can produce a number or crops each year, making for quite a long harvest season. Our selection is called the acerola Florida Sweet Cherry and is a pleasant eating variety that is not too sour. The acerola is well suited to pot culture where it can be kept to a smaller size. It could also be grown this way in cooler climates where it can be moved to a warmer position in the winter. A word of warning the foliage of the plant is covered in tiny irritating stinging hairs that can produce an allergic reaction. When pruning your trees wear a long sleeved shirt and a pair of gloves.

Truffle - White - host Pinus pinea

$99.00 ($99.00-$129.00 choose a size)

The Bianchetto or little white truffle is from Tuscany. Truffles have a pungent aroma that can be loosely described as of fresh earth and sweet mushrooms. Throughout history people have constantly failed to adequately describe the aroma and flavour of a premium truffle, contributing to the mystique of this exotic fungi. Their taste can permeate and enhance many foods such as soups, dips and pates, salads, sauces, dressings, omelettes and main meals. The irresistible allure of their unique aroma, flavour and taste accounts for their gourmet status, and demand by consumers, and makes them a highly valued ingredient. The host tree is the Pine Nut, or Pinus pinea which produces the delicious nuts, they are inoculated with truffle mycorrhiza. In Europe, truffles thrive in nutrient poor, calcareous (lime) soils and a temperate climate. Therefore to establish a truffiare in Australia you will require an area with a similar climate, including rainfall & winter frosts, sufficient available water for drought proofing, and apply a great deal of lime to replicate the European soil types. They need cold winter temperatures with a few frosts. Hot summer temperatures for initiating truffle formation. Free draining soils, suitable for altering with lime. Sufficient rainfall or irrigation water.

Red Cedar Reviews & Tips

Red Cedar

Seedlings arrived in good form. I have planted 2 of 4 so far, 40+m from the house. A wombat knocked over the original tree guard so made a new guard with 3 star pickets and chicken wire to protect from wildlife. They are thriving in a sunny but moist gully. I estimate growth to be +5cm I chose red cedars because they are beautiful, relatively fast growing and timber is prized for furniture.

Red Cedar

1. Repotted into 12 inch pots for a month steadily increasing sunlight exposure over this time. 2. Planted out into virgin soil, staked and watered twice a week then left alone. 3. Need to keep a close eye out for cedar tip moth infestation. Seem to be very active with some plants and warm humid weather. 4. Plants now 50 % taller and doing well. 5. In my case Plants that are in part shade seem to do better than full sun.

Red Cedar

Forest stocks of this beautiful tree were utterly decimated by settlers seeking good timber for construction and furniture. No-one bothered to replant them. I am determined to do my bit for restoring them into protected forests and gardens.

Red Cedar

Plant seedling in a 6m high thicket, give special care. Mine grew 6 m (& still only 70mm diameter.) Gradually remove competition. I now have them 10m high, 400mm dia. beautiful trees, no tipmoth.

Toona ciliata - Red Cedar

Try enclosing the tip in stocking mesh (panty hose) until the top gets too high to reach by ladder. After that, when the mesh finally perishes, the tree may be vulnerable. But at least it won't fork close to the ground.

Finch Hatton, QLD

Toona ciliata - Red Cedar

There is a moth that attcks the Red Cedar's new growth- which forses the tree to fork. This makes them unsuitable to try and grow as a forestry tree for the purpose of harvesting the timber. They need to be grown under the canopy of larger tree's.
