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.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black

$19.75 ($19.75-$89.00 choose a size)

This mulberry has a very low chill factor making it ideal for our subtropical climate. Pruning after fruiting allows it to be kept under 3mtrs, and also encourages multiply cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. The fruits of the black mulberry, considered the tastiest and most versatile of the mulberries are large and juicy with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit of the dwarf black mulberry is the same as that on the large black mulberry that we all know and love. The fruit is large, resembling a blackberry, sweet and luscious. When not devoured fresh it is ideal to use in jams, wines and mulberry pies. (Dwarf Mulberry Tree Video )This variety performs excellent in the Subtropics. There has been feedback that this variety doesn't perform as well in Temperate Climates.

Ginkgo

$19.75 ($19.75-$79.00 choose a size)

A tall growing deciduous tree with maidenhair like foliage. The foliage colours golden yellow in Autumn. The female tree bears a plum-like cone with an ill smelling flesh, but the kernel is edible and sweet. Slow growing and requires good soil and plenty of water during summer. We are not able to determine which seedlings are male or female until they flower so that is why we recommend 3 plants to be assured you will get at list one female.

Cedar - Himalayan

$19.90 ($19.90-$19.90 choose a size)

A beautiful tree which has a graceful weeping appearance when young with greyish coloured, long needles. As the plant matures, the branches become more horizontal and the foliage becomes dark green.

Tulipwood

$4.90 ($4.90-$17.75 choose a size)

An attractive spreading tree with glossy leaflets. Flowers are insignificant. Showy fruits occur during winter and are two-lobed, yellow or red with large black seeds.

Oak - English

$19.75 ($19.75-$29.00 choose a size)

A magnificent shade tree with distinctive dark green leaves and a black, furrowed trunk and branches. An excellent ornamental specimen. Performs better in cooler positions where humidity is generally low. Though some specimens thrive regardless in sub-tropical coastal climates. Some species of oak have edible acorns, though in English Oak, acorns are quite high in bitter tannins and should be boiled before eating. Alternatively, drying and grinding and then soaking can facilitate the process before using them in cooking.

Eucalyptus - Swamp bloodwood

Very happy with my little trees. I've received beautiful healthy plants. Been doing well in pots till I've finally planted them on our farm driveway . Hardy and pretty fast growing once established. Would be great for all the native birds we have around. Tree guards, mulch and watering regularly will set them to a great start.
