Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$44.00 ($44.00-$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.

Kangaroo Apple

Fruits generously for a long period over Summer/Autumn but seedlings are prolific after fruiting so care should be taken not to let it invade. Very attractive and quick growing.

Kangaroo Apple

I grew 2 from tubes for the first time in the last blazing summer. Super fast growth to about 3m but get very leggy. Fruited heavily in first season - now have copious fruit again. Taste between citrus and tomato. Not ripe until nearly red.
