Rainbow Beach Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Mangosteen Purple

Often referred to as the Queen of Fruits, this tropical evergreen tree is native to Asia. The fragrant edible flesh can be described as sweet and tangy, citrusy with peach flavor and texture. Suitable only for tropical climates or a warm greenhouse. The female and male flowers are borne on separate trees but the female produces fruit on its own - parthenocarpicly. Trees are seedling grown so their sex is not known.
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. 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.
