Black Sapote - Bernicker

$69.00 ($69.00-$79.00 choose a size)

This Chocolate Pudding fruit variety has proved very popular in Australia. The near spherical fruit is medium to large with only 1 or 2 seeds. Superb eating quality and prolific producer.

Black Sapote - Colossal

$69.00

Seedling selection from Kyogle, very large fruit and self pollinating. Seedless when not pollinated. Closely related to the Persimmon this attractive glossy foliaged tree produces a fruit often called the 'Chocolate Pudding Fruit'. Delicious when eaten as a desert with cream and a touch of Rum or vanilla.

Jujube - Redlands

$124.00

Very large, sweet rounded fruit, ripening mid season and responds well to good growing conditions. It is a little similar to other Li and Shanxi Li types, in shape and flavour. A selection from Redlands, California that is very productive. Jujubes are well suited to the hot, dry conditions of inland Australia.

Jujube - Admiral Wilkes

$124.00

Late season cultivar with tiger tooth shaped, elongated fruit. Extends Jujube harvest into late autumn. Fruit has a good sweet flavour. This variety is very vigorous, growing into a very tall, very productive tree with a slightly pendulum shaped habit.

Dwarf Plum Gulf Gold Tree (G)

$39.00 ($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.

Mango - Keow Savoey

$54.00

Considered the best of the green eating varieties in Thailand where it is prized for its crunchy flesh texture and nutty sweet flavour. It is mainly used as a green salad vegetable. When ripe it turns a soft green/yellow. Semi-translucent pulp with overripe flavours. Oblong dark green fruit weighing between 170 and 390 grams with a polyembryonic seed

Black Sapote - Maher

I.bought this plant as part of my fruit tree orchard. The fruit is delicious and great to grow in the tropics. I received the tree from Daley's in super condition and planted straight away, where it has been powering.

Black Sapote - Maher

My maher black sapote is not self fertile. Every year flowers form only to fall off again. I have planted a seedling next to it in order for cross pollination to occur but it will take some time for the second tree to grow.

I have eaten chocolate pudding fruit before and really liked the taste. I have had flowers already but I pulled them off (which killed me :)) because I wanted the plant to focus on growth.
