Dwarf Coconut Malay Bronze
$69.00 ($69.00-$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.

Apple - Tropical Anna
$39.00
These delicious and crunchy apples are very similar to their cold climate cousins however they only require a low amount of chill. Similar in taste and shape to Red Delicious.
Neem tree - grafted
$109.00
Often called the Wonder Tree, the neem has been used for centuries in Asia against insects and for some medicinal purposes. The natural insecticide azadirachtin can be extracted from the seeds of the neem tree. Grafting onto the White Cedar rootstock allows for a stronger root system in cooler regions and less problems with dieback in winter. Removal of any shoots from below the graft is essential maintenance to maintain your grafted neem. Weed warning: in Dry Tropics Neem tree regenerates easily and can be a weed problem. Not a problem in subtropical regions.
