Dwarf Mulberry - Black

$21.00 ($19.75-$89.00 choose a size)

This mulberry has a very low chill factor making it ideal for our subtropical climate. Pruning after fruiting allows it to be kept under 3mtrs, and also encourages multiply cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics. There has been feedback that this variety doesn't perform as well in Temperate Climates.

Aurea produces a large elongated fruit of excellent quality. The fruit is delicious eaten fresh or with a little salt and lemon juice added. Canistels are often added to sweet custards or made into delicious eggnog-like milk shakes.

Dwarf Avocado - Hazzard (A)

$79.00

A compact upright tree. It is self fertile and produces good crops of creamy fleshed, pebbly skinned fruit. Perfect for smaller backyards. It has some frost tolerance for short periods of time however frost free is best to ensure trees are not damaged by the cold. It is best to cross pollinate with another variety such as Bacon, Fuerte or shepard. Having your own supply of avocadoes is a great for keeping your meals healthy and saving you dollars on groceries. They require free draining soil and full to part sun. Beautiful trees especially when they are loaded with fruits. You can leave avocadoes hanging on the tree for long periods of time and they will ripen once picked. Store unripe avocadoes in your fridge and pull a couple out when you need them to ripen on the bench. They are one of the best fruit trees you can plant. Be sure to check out all our youtube videos on how to grow avocadoes and look at the common issues gardeners can have with them. Free draining soil or growing on a raised mound is the best place to start with growing your own Avocado. They will quickly let you know if they aren't happy, so do all that you can to keep these trees from being water logged and they will reward you with bounties of beautiful fruit.

I really want to grow native fruit so I was excited to be able to order a raspberry plant from Queensland! While only a small plant when I received it, fruit is already beginning to appear on it only a couple of months after planting.

Great raspberry plant! Started getting consistent fruit from the first winter it was in the ground (about 9 months after planting it), Doesnt require much maintenance. Only pick the fruit when it easily falls off.

First year it fruited the fruit was a little bland (I expected this as it was still very tiny and young) It has fruited again this winter with much higher yield and the fruit is very delicious and great quality! Grown in 80L pot.

Quick growing, prolific producer and hardy. It is a great plant for general consumption and as an additive to sauces, chutney and jams. I recommend keeping in a pot as can be invasive.

Lots of nice fruit, but plant needs to be kept under control as can become invasive, spreads very quickly from underground running roots.

Great producer, I have had nearly 6 months of fruit this year, you can pick fruit nearly every day, not as tasty as the regular Raspberry, but worthwhile in any garden, watch the thorns though.
