Magnolia - Rustica Rubra

$39.00 ($27.00-$79.00 choose a size)

This is one of the most spectacular of the spring-flowering trees and one of the easiest to grow. During winter its bare branches are covered with large tulip-like flowers, rose-pink outside and white inside. Prefers a rich acid soil. Rustica Rubra is the best flowering magnolia for subtropical climates.

Bamboo - Oldhamii

$46.95 ($46.95-$79.00 choose a size)

An edible species of bamboo. Fast growing in just about any soil type or environmental condition. Oldhamii is a medium sized upright clumping bamboo. It has deep green foliage that starts low on the smooth clumps which turn yellow as they are exposed to sunlight. The tall upright culms grow straight and strong making it a popular variety for many different horticultural and agricultural applications. Both the timber and the shoots are popular for construction and human consumption purposes. To ensure the safe consumption of bamboo shoots, it's important to boil them before use. This process helps to remove the cyanogenic glycosides produced by the plant as a defence against herbivores. It's advisable to boil for at least 20mins and change the water once or twice during boiling to ensure all toxins are eliminated

Acerola - Florida Sweet

$29.00 ($14.90-$79.00 choose a size)

This bright red cherry like fruit has varying tastes during different stages as it ripens. When fully ripe the fruit is juicy and aromatic with its acid content giving it a sweet acid apple-like flavour. The tree can produce a number or crops each year, making for quite a long harvest season. Our selection is called the acerola Florida Sweet Cherry and is a pleasant eating variety that is not too sour. The acerola is well suited to pot culture where it can be kept to a smaller size. It could also be grown this way in cooler climates where it can be moved to a warmer position in the winter. A word of warning the foliage of the plant is covered in tiny irritating stinging hairs that can produce an allergic reaction. When pruning your trees wear a long sleeved shirt and a pair of gloves.

Chilli - Birds Eye

$12.75 ($4.90-$17.75 choose a size)

The fruits are red, yellow, purple or black. Pungent, hot and spicy. The flowers are greenish white or yellowish white. Can be called the Thai Chilli as well. The plant can grow up to 2m tall however very easily stays small especially in pots. It's origins are from Mexico however it is most famous for being used in Vietnamese cooking in soups, stir fries and salads. Thai cuisine commonly uses this chilli and it is because it has a fruity taste and an extreme spiciness. Many of the Thai curries are centred around the flavour of the Birds Eye chilli and it has become so common in Thai cooking that it is often just called the Thai chilli. Because they go well in pots many people who couldn't grow these fruits outside in colder climates can keep them protected and enjoy them fresh rather than store bought.

Indian Mast Tree

I've loved this tree ever since seeing it in SE Asia. Now growing one in quite swampy conditions. It's slow but doing well.

Indian Mast Tree

I planted small plants 5 years ago, they have weathered both drought , 44C and a flood, and some are almost 2 storeys tall!!! Beautiful tall screen for narrow spaces. Beware if water nearby, they will grow bent out over it and fruit earlier!

Indian Mast Tree

Further to my comment. The Mast Tree has a soft lush mid green leaves. Every leaf is different and goes from pale green to a darker green. If you plant these trees closer together they reasonably resemble a vertical garden. A great architectural plant.

Saw these growing in Singapore on my last visit. Very lush and tropical looking. Ideal alternative to a Cypress Pencil Pine where you want to block the neighbours view or cut down noise. Nice feature Tree.
