Orange - Lanes Late
$39.00
Seedless variety, maturing later than all other navels, usually mid July through to October. Thin smooth rind. The fruits are similar to the Washington but they are picked a couple of months later in the season. They are therefore a great companion tree to plant with a Washington navel or a Navelina for an extended fruiting season of navel oranges.
Lime - Sweet
$39.00
Heavy bearing tree producing medium sized juicy, seedless fruit. Fruit will turn yellow and lose flavour at full maturity. Grows to approx 3 to 4 metres in height. Ideal for cooking and drinks. Harvest while still Green for the best flavour. Excellent in drinks.
Mandarin - Green pigeon
$29.00 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)
An excellently flavoured old seedling variety from the hills near Kyogle. Loose skin, large fruit and easy to peel, the flavour is similar to an Emperor, the classic mandarin flavour. Seedling grown and produce quite a few thorns but these can be pruned as the tree grows as they don't grow back.
Tea Plant
$19.90 ($4.90-$19.90 choose a size)
Makes an attractive hedge with the added bonus of providing your own tea if you wish to dry the new leaf tips. The fragrant white flowers are an added bonus to this compact glossy leaved bush.
Yacon - Apple of the Earth
$19.75 ($3.95-$19.75 choose a size)
Also known as the 'Earth Apple' this is one of the ancient crops of the Inca's. This relative of the sunflower is popular to the people of Columbia, Ecuador and Argentina. The plant produces large tubers similar in appearance to sweet potatoes, but they have a much sweeter taste and crunchy flesh. The tubers can be eaten raw as a refreshing treat on their own, finely sliced and mixed into salads,boiled or baked, fried as chips or prepared as a pickle. There is also commercial interest as a flavouring for yoghurt. They are sweet, juicy and almost calorie free. The main stem can also be used like celery. The texture and flavour have been described as a cross between a fresh apple and watermelon. The plants are vigorous, herbaceous, perennial and extremely hardy tolerating hot summers, drought and poor soils. The foliage of the plant dies back in the winter after flowering at which time the tubers are harvested carefully to avoid damage to the tubers. They tend to continue sweetening if left in a cool dry and dark place for a week or two before consumption. The reddish rhizomes are then replanted for the next season.
