Custard Apple - Paxton Prolific

$89.00 ($89.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A PBR selection of the popular Pinks Mammoth variety. It has a low seed count and excellent natural fruit set. This means that, unlike some other varieties, there is no need to laboriously hand pollinate each bloom to achieve a good harvest. Unpruned custard apples grow into very large trees. With dedicated, twice yearly pruning it is possible to restrict tree height and spread to 3-4m. This variety is subject to Plant Breeder Rights (PBR).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

Custard Apple - Golden Emperor

$89.00 ($89.00-$99.00 choose a size)

A self fertile Custard Apple with a dwarfing habit making it ideal for backyards in warmer climates. The fruits have a lower seed count then some varieties. This is a new release custard apple that will produce good crops of tangy sweet fruit for you.

Mango - Glenn

$74.00

Sweet, juicy flavoured Mango with no fibre. It has moderate resistance to Anthracnose and very good resistance to Bacterial Black Spot. An excellent early variety. Ideal for home backyards because they sun ripen to perfection and produce a full flavour that commercially produced varieties just can't match.

Sapodilla - Tropical

$99.00 ($99.00-$109.00 choose a size)

A Singapore variety to 4m tall. Flavour is very sweet like brown sugar with a less gritty texture than other varieties. Small to medium fruit size can depend on size of the crop, with light crops occurring. Sapodillas are highly prized in Asia with their sweet, brown-sugar, cinnamon flavoured fruit.

Jakfruit - Rajhan

$99.00 ($79.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Lovely, flavoured arils that are pale yellow and have hints of vanilla. The arils are crisp and the fruit is a good size.

Mango - Osteen

$79.00

The flesh is nearly fibreless and has a mild yet sweet flavour. The smooth skin has a yellow background color but usually turns dark purple. Oblong shape with a rounded base and apex that sometimes contains a small beak. they average 450 grams at maturity.
