Balmain East Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Chestnut - Emerald Gem
$54.00 ($54.00-$84.00 choose a size)
From Emerald Lake in the Dandenong region. It is a beautiful spreading tree that is almost weeping in habit. Very prolific, tends to bear heavily which greatly influences nut size. A distinctive orange-tan coloured nut without stripes. Evidence of Asian parentage.
Dwarf Coconut Green
$79.00 ($79.00-$99.00 choose a size)
Moderate sized fruit with large volume-to-husk ratio. Reputedly the sweetest fruits for drinking. These high yielding precocious hybrid selections will grow outside of the tropics, in a warm and sheltered position. Worth trying in coastal locations as far south as Coffs Harbour. They will require free draining soil and are best planted deep with a deep organic mulch surrounding them. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.
Dwarf Coconut Malay Bronze
$74.00 ($74.00-$89.00 choose a size)
Produced bronze to red coloured fruit. Tapering trunk with a bulbous base. These high yielding precocious hybrid selections will grow outside of the tropics, in a warm and sheltered position. Worth trying in coastal locations as far south as Coffs Harbour. They will require free draining soil and are best planted deep with a deep organic mulch surrounding them. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.
Dwarf Peach - Angel High Chill
$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)
A new dwarf selection of the Angel Peach. It has donut shaped fruit and is a very sweet white fleshed freestone variety, which is more soft and juicy in texture compared with standard peaches. Performs best in temperate climates.
Avocado - Hass (A)
$54.00 ($54.00-$129.00 choose a size)
Most popular variety due to both its superior taste and excellent keeping qualities. Medium sized, pear-shaped fruit has an excellent creamy, flesh. The leathery rough dark-purple skin turns to black when ripe. H Aug-Dec. Hass is an A type variety and for good fruit set a B type variety is needed for cross pollination. 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.
