In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping.

Native Nutmeg

$39.00

Handsome, tropical rainforest tree with fruits that open to reveal the kernel encased in a bright red aril. Height from 8-12m, bird and butterfly attracting. The kernel can be ground to produce a subtle spice related to culinary Nutmeg. The aril can be dried and used as a native Mace. Plants are either male or female, so advisable to plant at least 3 to be sure of one female. Warning: Use spices from the nutmeg genus sparingly due to toxity in even moderate amounts.

Peanut Butter Tree

$19.75 ($19.75-$34.00 choose a size)

This attractive tree has clusters of yellow flowers that are followed by an abundance of dark red fruit to around 2.5cm long. The rich, sweet flesh has a texture similar to peanut butter. The fruit can be eaten fresh or made into milk shakes.

Miracle Fruit

$19.75 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)

Although not sweet itself this miraculous fruit, consumed fresh and allowed to coat the mouth alters your tastebuds so that everything you eat tastes sweet, lasting for an hour or two. It's extraordinary. The beauty of it is that it only removes the sourness 'acidity' from what you are eating, the natural aroma and taste remains. It has been used to sweeten bitter medicines. For success the plant prefers a pH as low as 4.5. A great companion for your blueberries. Requires a sheltered position free from frost and partial shade. Excellent unusual potted plant that can be moved into a sunny spot indoors during the cooler months, and indeed right through the year with adequate sun. Very slow growing and best to grow as a potted planted until at least 1 metre high Further Information: Rare Fruit Review
