Olive - Arbequina

$29.00 ($19.75-$149.00 choose a size)

Self fertile. Low chill. Origin: Spain. Small fruit, table olive pickled green. Early harvest. Commercial oil producer.Frost, coastal conditions and salinity tolerant. Cold hardy. Grows well from Cairns to Tasmania. Medium vigor and compact shape makes it ideal for backyards. Performs well in warm climates. Suited to pots and hedges.

Winter Apple

$17.90 ($4.90-$17.90 choose a size)

A reliable ground cover for many areas. Well suited to a range of soils provided drainage is reasonable, and is best located in a sunny position. Severe frosts may damage the plant but it will often recover quickly once the weather warms up. The small flowers occur in the leaf axils and are usually pale mauve but white and blue forms are also found. The main flowering period is summer but spasmodic flowering may occur at other times. The fleshy fruits that appear in autumn are perhaps the most attractive feature of the plant. They are about 1cm in diameter, green in colour with pink or reddish tones.

Yuzu - Grafted

$34.00 ($34.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Native to China, the Yuzu has been used and cultivated in this region for thousands of years. The fruit is tart, resembling a grapefruit with mandarin overtones. It is rarely eaten as a fresh fruit but is used to makes sauces, preserves and a popular yuzu vinegar. In Korea thinly sliced fruits are combined with sugar and honey to make a thick marmalade like syrup. Yuzu kosho is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or ripe yellow yuzu zest, chillis and salt. The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees

Longevity Spinach

$14.75

Fast growing, fleshy-leaved edible green to 1m high, that can be eaten raw in salads, smoothies and stir-fries. The plant is best grown well-watered and in part shade in warm climates, and pruned as the fleshy stems and leaves can get quite heavy. Can be used as a Living Mulch as it has a scrambling, vine-like habit. May have the potential to be a weed risk.

Olive - Picual

$29.00 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)

Medium sized fruit 3-4g. High yields. High oil content. Pickled green/ black. Ripens Mid/late season. Performs well across a wide range of climates, from cold to Subtropical. Largely self- fertile but can benefit from cross-pollination with Arbequina and Barnea. Medium vigour tree with a spreading and dense canopy, coming into production early. In Australia it has started to bear heavy commercial crops before most other varieties. It shows constant and high productivity and is very hardy. The Picual variety represents about 90% of the olive trees planted in the Jaen region of Spain , the largest olive growing area in the world.

French Sorrel

Nice green to add some sour twang to salads. Tolerates medium frosts well here, and a good perennial in the herb patch.

Took a while to get going and was eaten fairly severely by garden weevil when I first planted it, but over this winter has been flourishing.
