A choice seedling selection from Kyogle. The soft arils are perfect for drying or freezing. Anyone who loves the textures of soft jakfruit will love this variety for it superior flavour.

Dwarf Mandarin - Afourer

$49.00

Recently imported Tangor, with rich, sweet juicy flavour. The tree is moderate in size and vigor. Thin, smooth, orange rind that is easy to peel. The fruit is low-seeded in the absence of cross-pollination, but seedy when cross-pollinated. Flying Dragon modifies the top growth making this a dwarf plant that is ideal to use planted out or as a pot specimen. Trees will grow to about half the normal citrus size. Flying Dragon rootstock also adds cold hardiness and grows well in heavier soils, like Trifoliatia rootstock.

Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific

$89.00 ($89.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A PBR selection of the popular Pinks Mammoth variety. It has a low seed count and excellent natural fruit set. This means that, unlike some other varieties, there is no need to laboriously hand pollinate each bloom to achieve a good harvest. Unpruned custard apples grow into very large trees. With dedicated, twice yearly pruning it is possible to restrict tree height and spread to 3-4m. This variety is subject to Plant Breeder Rights (PBR).The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back

Soh Shang

Medium, spreading woody shrub producing plum sized red fruits. The fruit is best when fully ripened, is sweet and jelly like with some astringency. It is often eaten with salt or as juice or chutney. The flesh can be sucked from the seed. It has notable nutritional benefits. The plant fixes nitrogen with the aid of symbiotic soil bacteria and is a good addition to food forest systems. It is originally from India. The native Millaa Millaa vine looks very similar with smaller fruits and overall size. Drought hardy.

Plum - Iluka Blood

$49.00 ($39.00-$49.00 choose a size)

Low chill Blood plum with juicy, sweet flesh right to the seed when ripe. Unique to Daleys. Skin is also sweet and mild. Self pollinating. 300-400 hours chill. Ripens January.

Nice looking tree and fruit is fantastic in a smoothie!Dumps almost all leaves in spring and looks sickly, but explodes into life around 2 weeks later. Has flowered spring 2011 but still a bit too young to set fruit.
