Pomegranate - Wonderful
$99.00 ($19.75-$99.00 choose a size)
A large, deep purple-red fruit. Flesh is deep crimson in colour, very sweet, juicy and of a delicious vinous flavour. Seeds not very hard. Good for juicing and eating out of hand. Plant is vigorous and productive. Best commercial variety in California.
Pomegranate - Azerbaijani
$39.00 ($24.00-$99.00 choose a size)
The flavour of the arils of this variety is something else. Gulosha azerbaijani produces medium to large sized, slightly elongated fruit with a pinkish hue, but the internal arils surrounding the seed are deep red, large and very juicy.
Jujube - Thornless
$124.90 ($124.90-$124.90 choose a size)
Large fruit is oval or pear-shaped and turns deep red when fully ripe. This is an excellent variety for drying but also tastes great when eaten fresh. Cross pollinate for best results. While the Jujube is mostly thornless, but not entirely, the roots can sucker and will produce very thorny stems and these must be constantly cut off, as the plant grows.
Mulberry - Beenleigh Black
$59.00 ($44.00-$59.00 choose a size)
Large juicy very sweet fruit to 4cm. Super tasty and makes an excellant Mulberry pie with its perfect balance between sweet and tangy. This tree requires virtually no maintenance and is fairly drought-resistant once established. Well suited to a range of climates.

Leichhardt Bean
It is too early to determine if this tiny plant will do what is intended, which is to be a shade tree in summer on the west side of the house and then be deciduous in winter to allow the sun in. the changing colour of the foliage is lovely.
