Grevillea - Ivory Whip
$32.00
A spreading, fast growing medium size shrub with wonderful dense grey/green foliage and attractive clusters of large white blooms that blossom throughout the year. It grows 1-2 m wide and about 1.5m high Grevilleas do best by giving them an annual pruning for shape, health, and extra flowers. It would be great not to have to provide artificial food for birds and allow them to gorge themselves on the natural supply in our gardens. Little wrens just love the prickly Grevilleas and each garden should have at least one prickly plant, giving a home for small birds to hide from predators. Grafted grevilleas are more hardy in challenging soils and locations.
Rollinia - Brazilian Custard Apple
$29.00 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)
A relative of the cherimoya this plant has its origins in tropical America. The fruit about 100mm in diameter has a creamy juicy and delicious flesh, according to some tasting like lemon meringue pie. Fruits within 4 years from seed. Seed selected from extremely sweet and flavoursome fruit with firm white flesh and few seeds.The foliage is delicate on young trees, and our potted plants are known for their older leaves to turn yellow and drop during transport to conserve energy. This is not a problem long term. With care and acclimatisation they will bounce back
