Yuzu - Grafted

$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Native to China, the Yuzu has been used and cultivated in this region for thousands of years. The fruit is tart, resembling a grapefruit with mandarin overtones. It is rarely eaten as a fresh fruit but is used to makes sauces, preserves and a popular yuzu vinegar. In Korea thinly sliced fruits are combined with sugar and honey to make a thick marmalade like syrup. Yuzu kosho is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or ripe yellow yuzu zest, chillis and salt. The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees

Pluot Plum - Black Adder

$49.00 ($49.00-$99.00 choose a size)

Graham Richards kindly gave us this low chill Pluot Plum to trial from his low chill breeding program. First fruiting this season, excellent flavour and texture. A Pluot is a cross between an Apricot and Plum- however more Plum characteristics are present. The Black Adder has Purplish- black skin with an amber flesh turning a deeper colour when very ripe. Pluots normally require cross pollination to set fruit. Try cross pollinating with another Pluot or a Japanese Plum variety- like a Mariposa. We are currently assesing its ability to self pollinate and will update our growing advice with those results. Ensure adequate sunlight, free draining fertile soil for maximum yields and healthy productive trees. Being low chill, it will produce fruit where winters are mild but may still not thrive in areas with hot summers. Protection may be beneficial.

Loquat - Nagasakiwase

$44.00 ($44.00-$79.00 choose a size)

The best Japanese variety so far, it has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April / May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size.

Kaffir Plum

Growing well in FNQ Wet Tropics. Plant looks wilted after planting for the last few weeks. I ordered 3 others from another company (I didn't realise they are dioecious). All of those survived well and are fully thriving. This one is still struggling and limp-ing along. Growing in FNQ Wet Tropics.

Kaffir Plum

We have ~40 yo trees planted as street trees here. They cope well with strong southerly winds & are now buttressing up on the root zone. Great shade tree. I am currently growing more from seed to extend the plantation.

Kaffir Plum

Our Kaffir Plum in Perth WA is a large, fast growing tree, which has sprouted about 2m of new growth each year. It is taller than our 2 story house now - at 7 yrs old it has a spread of 8m by 7m.Excellent shade tree, very smart growth habit.

Give them plenty of room. Mine is at least 20 metres tall and about the same wide.Sulphur Crested Cockatoos make an absolute mess with the fruit and leaves. You will be raking up daily for months once the fruit develops if you have those birds around.

Kaffir Plum

Give this tree plenty of space to grow. I live in the Swan Valley in Perth and my tree is approx 10m high and 10m wide. It is loaded with fruit and picking season for us starts October.

I quite like these sour fruits...plus the tree thrives here.I have planted them more for shade and shelter than anything. This one is only 6 months old and I chopped the top off just recently to encourage branching. The dog is for size comparison.....N...
