Plum - Satsuma

$69.00 ($49.00-$69.00 choose a size)

Red to purple flesh with a freestone. The flavour is good, the growth vigorous and its bears particularly well, in fact to get large fruits it may require thinning. The firm, juicy flesh has a sweet spicy flavour. 350 - 400 hours chill. Bears November to early December.

Jujube - Sugar Cane

$109.00 ($109.00-$119.00 choose a size)

Early season harvest of small to medium, round to elongated fruit. Extremely sweet fruit with crisp texute, and good resistance to splitting. The tree is very vigorous, but unfortunately it can be thorny. Jujubes are well suited to the hot dry conditions of inland Australia

Chestnut - Emerald Gem

$49.00 ($49.00-$84.00 choose a size)

From Emerald Lake in the Dandenong region. It is a beautiful spreading tree that is almost weeping in habit. Very prolific, tends to bear heavily which greatly influences nut size. A distinctive orange-tan coloured nut without stripes. Evidence of Asian parentage.

Mandarin - Imperial

$39.00 ($39.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A proven early variety that is still very popular today. Excellent colour and flavour; the skin is smooth, glossy, thin and easy to peel. Older trees may develop a biennial bearing habit.

Dwarf Almond - Self Pollinating Papershell

$69.00 ($69.00-$69.00 choose a size)

A new dwarf selection of this excellent, self-pollinating almond that bears heavy crops of soft-shelled almonds with a good, sweet flavour. The kernals are broad, full and oval in shape, they are mid season. The tree has an upright form and is a self pollinating large Papershell. Almonds require a climate with dry Summer/Autumn and cool winters.

Plum x Cherry - Little Chum

$59.00 ($59.00-$69.00 choose a size)

A cherry plum cross with attractive smooth red skin. The flesh is golden-yellow in colour and very juicy when mature. Firm texture with a small seed. The flavour is excellent and well balanced between the plum and cherry parentage. Pollination is currently under evaluation but it will cross well with mid to season plums such as the mariposa, santa rosa or satsuma.

This variety dates from the late 1600s or earlier.  Said to be Jane Austen's favourite, but were there many competitors back then?!!?
