Kiwifruit - Hayward Female

$42.95 ($24.75-$42.95 choose a size)

Most popular commercial kiwifruit variety. Excellent quality and size, but does require a higher chill requirement than most other varieties. The Chieftain Male is the superior pollinator for these and the Kiwifruit Male is an alternative pollinator

Jujube - Shanxi Li

$124.90 ($119.00-$139.00 choose a size)

Crisp, sweet, great eating fresh or dried and easily the largest of all the jujube varieties. While partially self fertile plant two or more to cross pollinate and get a heavier crop.

Jujube - Honey Jar

$124.90 ($119.00-$124.90 choose a size)

Sweet and crunchy when fresh, the Honey Jar has a classic jujube flavour & crispness with a blue gum honey flavour. This smaller, round jujube fruit is said to develop a unique caramel apple flavour as it dries. The variety is a heavy producer and harvest can be extended with multiple pickings. Early season.

Dwarf Persimmon - Fuyu (NA)

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

Fuyu is a semi-dwarf variety, well suited to growing in small backyards and can be kept to 2m with pruning. The fruit is large and flat, orange-red in colour with a sweet, mild flavour. Great eaten crunchy but just luscious when left to go soft. Besides producing delicious fruit, Persimmons are highly ornamental with their beautiful autumn foliage. Non astringent, so can be eaten when still hard. When young, protect from hot afternoon sun, and when dormant, from wet conditions. Seedless when grown on their own. If cross pollinating with another variety they can have seeds in the flesh as shown in the display picture.

Chestnut - Emerald Gem

$49.00 ($49.00-$74.00 choose a size)

From Emerald Lake in the Dandenong region. It is a beautiful spreading tree that is almost weeping in habit. Very prolific, tends to bear heavily which greatly influences nut size. A distinctive orange-tan coloured nut without stripes. Evidence of Asian parentage.

Dwarf Persimmon - Ichikikijiro (NA)

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

Large, flat fruit of excellent quality, non-astringent and seedless when grown on its own. Being a dwarf variety it is well suited to backyards but is also a good commercial variety. Will fruit as early as March in the subtropics. Ichikikijiro generally produce only one flush of growth in the spring so don't be alarmed if your tree is not growing in summer, this habit contributes to their small stature.

Removed. It didn't get enough chill here to flower reliably - even though Bruno needs far less chill than Hayward and should have been ok here. I actually prefer the Kiwiberries anyway.Large vines that need a very strong trellis and resent hot weather ...

Kiwifruit - Bruno (female)

Bruno does NOT have a 'relatively low chill requirement.' According to Phivnil et al. (2004) Bruno achieves 35% bud-break at 600 chill hours and 81% at 800 chill hours. Even Hayward manages 60% budbreak at 600 chill hours.
