Docklands Fruit Trees (Popular)
Docklands Fruit Trees and the most popular plants Australians buy for mail order. With fruit trees you should consider climate suitability.
Loquat - Nagasakiwase
$59.00 ($59.00-$99.00 choose a size)
The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.
Dwarf Peach - Angel High Chill
$79.00 ($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.
Black Sapote - Superb
$59.00 ($59.00-$99.00 choose a size)
A selection originating from north Qld. As the name suggests it is a superb quality fruit. Tends to be seedless if not cross pollinated. Heavy bearing. Also called 'Chocolate Pudding Fruit'. Delicious Trees can be medium to large and cross pollination is beneficial for fruit set. New growth is a light lime green/yellow colour which darkens as the leaves mature.
Lychee - Bosworth 3
$74.00 ($74.00-$79.00 choose a size)
Also known as Kwai Mai Pink, this variety will average 45 to the kg, is small seeded and very sweet. Will produce good crops every year, despite the climate or soil type from NSW to Cape York. Early season.
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.
