Jakfruit - Kyogle Gold

$99.00 ($79.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A choice seedling selection from Kyogle. The soft arils are perfect for drying or freezing. Anyone who loves the textures of soft jakfruit will love this variety for it superior flavour.

Jujube - Chico

$124.00 ($109.00-$139.00 choose a size)

Compact and bushy, perfect for pots with round fruit flattened on the bottom. Look similar to a small apple. Pick when the whole fruit (or at least 80%) has just turned brownish red. Texture is crisp and light we consider it an excellent fresh or dried variety. Fruit size 35-45mm. Developed at the Chico institute in California, this is an early fruiting variety. (Jan - March) Cross pollinate for best results.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 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.

Pandanus - Edible

$40.95 ($24.90-$69.00 choose a size)

Widely cultivated for use in Asian cooking and basket making. It has a nutty fragrance and is most commonly used in rice dishes or tied in a bundle and cooked with food. Also useful in flower arrangements. A low growing plant to 1m with long narrow blade like leaves and woody aerial roots. In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping. Outside of the tropics, well worth trying as indoor plant in winter with a warm, sunny aspect. Allow the plant to dry out over the winter months.

Betel Nut

$42.95 ($42.95-$49.00 choose a size)

A graceful, tropical palm also commonly called Areca nut, this is not a true nut but a palm seed. Its use carries dangers, however, see Warning below. Used in many Asian and Pacific cultures, the seed is separated from the outer layer of the fruit and may be used fresh, dried, boiled, baked, roasted or cured.they are chewed in a similar way to chewing tobacco, producing a mildly euphoric and stimulating effect, and helping reduce tension. Betel nuts and betel quids are generally chewed for their psychoactive properties that help reduce tension, produce a feeling of well being and facilitate social interactions and strengthen social ties. Around 10 to 20% of the world's population chews betel nut in some form. This makes it the 4th most widely-used psychoactive substance,after nicotine, alcohol and caffeine. WARNING: The use of this plant, though, is hazardous and is classed as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Extreme caution should be exercised. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.

Chempedak

Fruits successfully in coastal Sydney (frost free, warm temperate climate) if given a position in full sun, sheltered from winter winds, and watered deeply once weekly in dry weather. Fruits heavily once established at 7-10 years old.
