Coffee - K7

$19.75 ($4.90-$49.00 choose a size)

Resistant to both 'Berry Disease' and 'Coffee Rust' this tree was developed and recommended for growing in the Northern Rivers Area by NSW Agriculture Department after extensive trials at Alstonville NSW. An open spreading variety, it is a reliable cropper, producing large flavour-filled beans; it is also the recommended variety for those who intend to harvest mechanically.

Native Nutmeg

$39.00

Handsome, tropical rainforest tree with fruits that open to reveal the kernel encased in a bright red aril. Height from 8-12m, bird and butterfly attracting. The kernel can be ground to produce a subtle spice related to culinary Nutmeg. The aril can be dried and used as a native Mace. Plants are either male or female, so advisable to plant at least 3 to be sure of one female. Warning: Use spices from the nutmeg genus sparingly due to toxity in even moderate amounts.

Guiana Chestnut

$39.00 ($39.00-$49.00 choose a size)

Fragrant, stunning flowers distinguish the Guiana Chestnut. Makes a beautiful landscape tree. Native to estuaries and lake shores in the tropical rainforests of Mexico, Central and South America The seeds have been recommended for eating eaten either raw or roasted, however recent research has indicated that there may be toxic compounds present that are not neutralised through cooking. When roasted or fried in oil they taste like chestnuts or cashews They have also been ground and used as a flour substitute when baking bread. The young leaves and flowers have also been cooked and eaten as a vegetable, however no mention is made of this in the research.It has also been suggested fungal organisms may be converting oils into inedible compounds. Production of nuts starts within a few years. The large, white, self-fertile flowers display spectacular clusters of 10cm cream-white stamens. The fruit is a woody green five-valved pod up to 30cm in length. The capsules that follow burst open when the seeds are ripe. The plant grows well in mild inland and coastal areas. The plant will tolerate brief exposure to low temperatures but won't tolerate frost. A frost-free location with some protection from hot, drying winds is the best choice for the plant. It will take full sun to partial shade. Malabar chestnuts are not overly fussy about soil as long as it is well drained. They are semi-deciduous. The flowers of the Guiana chestnut are spectacular, they emerge from foot long buds where they are almost hidden amongst the dense foliage. The long dark red brown coloured petals droop and disappear to show off the dramatic clusters of scarlet tipped stamens. The fruits that follow the flowers are football shaped large woody pods that can reach 30cm in length. The tightly packed nuts inside enlarge until the pods burst open to reveal them. The Guiana Chestnut does best in sites that are protected from drying winds, it can be grown in full sun or part shade and it requires frequent and generous watering. WARNING: SEEDS SHOULD NOT BE EATEN

MIDDLE RIDGE, QLD

Bottle Tree

The young bottle tree that you sent me in MAY has been doing well until last night or early this morning when a hare (giant rabbit thing) bit the top off it. Now I have a topless bottle tree standing only 8 inches tall. I should have made a tree guard for it. Hares are a nuisance here. They hop around all night and keep turning the security lights on. I have read that bottle trees sprout early in summer so I am hopeful of saving it. Thank you for sending that brave little bottle tree.

Bottle Tree

I'm very happy with my recent purchase. Daley's has once again provided me with high quality trees. Queensland Bottle Trees make great feature trees. Additionally they are from a family of trees which are very unique and long living, they can live for thousands of years. I highly recommend investing in a couple so you can see them grow through the years with you. Thank you for your service Daley's! All 16 of the Bottle trees I bought are growing very fast and are in great health.

Bottle Tree

I bought my man a seeding fifteen even years ago. He planted it in front of his north facing shed at Bairnsdale and it is about three metres tall and flowering for the first time. This is a bitter sweet time for me he died this time last year. Amazing

Bottle Tree

I have grown a specimen for 10 plus years in a pot under a verandah facing west in Melbourne. Regular water and fertilizer and a prune to keep height down is all it needs to look great. Slow grower possibly due to weather.
