Customers also bought

These plants are often purchased together. Also check plant information for suitability in your orchard.

Chestnut - Winchester

$59.00

A large low chill selection suitable for the sub tropics, sets well on its own but will benefit from cross pollination.

Chestnut - Reilly

$49.00 ($49.00-$79.00 choose a size)

The Reilly originates from a planting made early this century on the Alstonville Plateau. A low chill variety that bears prolifically in Feb/March. Fair nut and keeping qualities.

Kiwifruit Sweetie (Female)

$44.00 ($29.00-$44.00 choose a size)

A very low chill kiwifruit selected by Daleys from a seedling commercial golden kiwifruit. Small to medium sized sweet yellow/green flesh. Vigorous and hardy. Well suited to the subtropics

Pandanus - Edible

$37.00 ($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, but maintain humidity

Gac

$29.00

A perennial melon noted for its orange-red flesh, native to SE Asia. The aril around the seeds is a deep brilliant red, high in the carotenes lycopene and betacarotene. Traditionally, it is much esteemed as a superfood and is cooked in a variety of ways to enhance flavour. It can be made into both sweet and savoury dishes. Green fruits can also be cooked as a vegetable. Vines are either male or female so both are required for the plants to set fruit. Unusually, Gac vines may change between being male and female and may change from one season to the next. Hand pollinating allows for a better crop. They are a very vigorous vine and grow to 15m in any direction and require yearly pruning to suit the trellis built for it. In fact pruning the vegetative growth will increase fruit size. Suited to subtropical climates, but can be grown outside of this range with care. Will lose its leaves for the winter in a cool climate. In tropical areas its vigorous habit needs care.

Yanang

$27.00

A vinous plant found throughout Thailand and Vietnam where it used to make teas and refreshing iced drinks (Nam Yanang) soup bases (Kaeng No Mai, Samlar Machu) and a type of Jelly called Suong Sam. Essence is extracted simply by rubbing the leaves together in water until this turns deep green. Superior flavor and processing time than Mesona Chinensis, which is a plant in the mint family used to make Grass Jelly. Delicate when young, the plant should be encourage up supported wires in part shade to some full sun. The plant is dioecious, meaning either male or female, but its not necessary to have more than one as the primary part for harvest is the leaf.

BANKSIA BEACH, QLD, Australia

Extremely slow growing.. Maybe due to getting established but it seems to only push out new growth once a year! Beautiful amber color on new leaves which then turn to a dark green(as shown in photo). Like any of the garcinias I go light on the fertili...

DERRIMUT, VIC, Australia

This is a Lucs Garcinia tree grafted onto a Imbe rootstock. It took about 2 months to push the buds through and the scion had flowered immediately after the leaves pushing out which was something remarkable to see in temperate Melborune.
