Lychee - Seedless

$109.00

Sue Lin San Lychee is sweet, large, juicy and seedless, with tropical flavours of pineapple. This unique and desirable fruit can now be grown at home.

Mango - Alphonso

$74.00

Yellow skinned, medium size, only slight fibre, excellent quality. Sets well in subtropics. It is a favourite of India where it is the most desired of all the mangoes. So although not a huge mango the quality and taste is what makes it famous.

Persimmon - Flat Seedless (A)

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

A smooth textured, juicy fruit of excellent quality. Fruit is large flat shaped. One of the best Astringent varieties, has to be fully ripe to eat. Vigorous grower.

Finger Lime - Rosebank Pink

$59.00 ($21.00-$59.00 choose a size)

Pink flesh, long sized fruits on an upright growing tree. A prolific producer on a vigorous growing tree. Eat fresh, salads, seafoods and desserts. Low seed count in fruits.

Carambola Starfruit - Kembangan

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

This Star Fruit has bright yellow-orange fruit that is slightly elongated and pointed. The flesh is juicy and firm with few seeds. Flavour rich and sweet; excellent dessert quality. Carambola trees have an attractive weeping habit, producing a profusion of pink flowers. The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back

Dwarf Plum Gulf Gold Tree (G)

$46.95 ($29.00-$79.00 choose a size)

This golden plum is firm with excellent flavour & texture and a small seed. 350 hours chill. This dwarf plum is an ideal backyard variety and perfect for pots. An excellent all-round variety with the added bonus that it doesn't seem to be attractive to fruit fly as much as other stonefruit. Partially self pollinating but benefits from pollination with Gulf Ruby. Attractive in spring when it is smothered in white blossoms.

Lychee - Red Ball

Had this tree (along with3 other lychees) under the shade of a huge apple tree, over 2 days of 38 degree heat. All other lychees did fantastic, but the red ball literally died within 2 days, all leaves just turned brown. This tree cant tolerate >38 degree
