Fruit weigh between 300 - 800 gms and sets regularly and heavy and can be consumed both as green and ripe fruit.

Suggested varieties to grow alongside a Hass are Shepard, Sharwill, Fuerte, Bacon (if you're in a cooler climate)and Linda. Happy fresh avocado smashing.

Lemon Myrtle

$24.00 ($18.75-$34.00 choose a size)

The Lemon Myrtle occurs naturally throughout coastal Qld rainforests. It is a spectacular ornamental tree due to both its appearance and the superb fragrance of its flowers and leaves. The leaves and flowers are used in sweet and savoury dishes or as a refreshing tea. However as boiling or baking often reduces the flavour. The leaves are best added to the recipe at the end of the cooking process and either left to steam with the lid on or made into a sauce or dressing. It is usually the older and fully hardened-off leaves that are harvested for use. Enthusiasts describe the distilled oil from this tree as 'more lemony than lemon' and its used extensively to scent confectionery, perfumes, aromatherapy oil and food flavourings.

Papaya - Broad Leaf

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

Large, elongated red fruit with great flavour on a tree with large striking foliage. Needs a warm frost free climate to thrive. Pollination is required so best to have 3 to ensure at least one female

Grass Tree

Grass trees are magnificent long living feature trees. They have leaves unlike any other plant, which are so fine that they sway ever so beautifully with just a small gust of wind, thus, adding a phenomenal kinetic element to your garden. Furthermore, they are also great for the ecosystem within your garden, as their dried up leaves at the base of the tree provide the perfect shelter for small native insects and animals. I highly recommend them, they're easily one of my favourite Aussie natives.

They do not tolerate too much root disturbance. Once established they are reasonably bullet proof. Livestock love to eat them down to the trunk so keep stock away. Good drainage required.

Grass Tree

I planted 5 grass trees about 20 years ago, unfortunately 2 died but the other three have taken off. they are now all about a metre and a half tall and the trunks are about 25cm thick. I don't know why everyone says they are slow growing.
