Penfield Gardens Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Dwarf Mango - Palmer
$59.00 ($59.00-$89.00 choose a size)
Promising late variety with large elongated fruit. Brightly coloured skin coloured with purple and red. The flesh is smooth and almost fibreless. Very sweet and good quality. Produces well and is fairly consistent. Semi Dwarf growing to about 1/2 the size of a Bowen Mango
Mango - Kensington Pride
$59.00 ($54.00-$89.00 choose a size)
Grafted selection of the Australian renowned Bowen variety, excellent flavour, very juicy and aromatic. Most famous for not being too stringy. In cooler areas with wet spring weather, flowers and young fruitlets will fail and this can very much affect yield in those years. However sometimes you can prune off these flowers to force flowering and give it a second chance. Moderate susceptibility to Anthracnose and Black Spot. Average wt. 450gms. (Sams Selection)
Carambola Starfruit - Kary
$59.00 ($59.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Excellent flavour, bright skin and juicy flesh with few seeds, bearing a summer and winter crop. It exhibits more cold tolerance than other varieties. Carambolas are also called Star Fruit Carambola trees have an attractive weeping habit, producing a profusion of pink flowers. 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
Avocado - Hass (A)
$54.00 ($54.00-$79.00 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.
Mango - Kwan
$69.00
Similar to the Nam doc mai, but twice the size. It has elongated fruit of a consistent light yellow and good mango flavour. This variety has good disease tolerance of Anthracnose and is generally a heavy cropper. Performs very well in south eastern Qld and the northern coast of NSW. As with all mangoes, flowering needs to coincide with a good period free of rain as the flowers will not set unless humidity is low.
