Cashew Nut Tree
$59.00 ($19.75-$59.00 choose a size)
The cashew nut tree is native to Central and South America, the nut grows within an outer shell at the end of an edible fruit known as the cashew apple. The shell of the kernal contains a thick caustic oil which can cause severe burns and skin irritation on contact. Caution must be taken when shelling nuts and protective clothing is recommended.The tree is very attractive, it produces beautiful rose-coloured scented flowers in panicles, followed by the enticing red fruits. It can grow to 15 metres and favours dry tropical conditions especially in coastal regions. It is a fast growing and strong tree that will tolerate dry conditions once it is established. It is best grown in well drained sandy or sandy loam soils. They will not tolerate poorly drained soils and can be prone to damaged from strong winds.Cashew apples and nuts are highly nutritious, they contain high amounts of vitamin C and are excellent sources of calcium, iron and vitamin B1.
Jacaranda - White Grafted
$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)
A beautiful white flowering form of jacaranda. A spectacular choice for a street tree or large shade tree. Long lived trees that can grow to be 200 years old. Flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Grafting ensures flower will be pure white.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.

Maple - Sugar
$29.00 ($9.90-$34.95 choose a size)
Spectacular red, yellow or orange autumn foliage. Prefers rich moist, well-drained soil in a protected, shady position with full sun when mature. This tree is the principal source of maple sugar. Nursery stock is deciduous from April on.
Oak - English
$19.75 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)
A magnificent shade tree with distinctive dark green leaves and a black, furrowed trunk and branches. An excellent ornamental specimen. Performs better in cooler positions where humidity is generally low. Though some specimens thrive regardless in sub-tropical coastal climates. Some species of oak have edible acorns, though in English Oak, acorns are quite high in bitter tannins and should be boiled before eating. Alternatively, drying and grinding and then soaking can facilitate the process before using them in cooking.
Longan - Seedling
$27.90 ($21.90-$59.00 choose a size)
A close relative to the Lychee tree but much larger, stronger and more cold tolerant. The fruit is deliciously sweet. Seed selected from the superior varieties.
