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.

Fig - Violette De Bordeaux

Very happy this is actually VDB as far as I can tell (being a mission type, figs on VDB are never fully green when growing or ripening). Thank you. Hard to find fertilizer with equal amounts of NPK so I buy them individually and apply monthly up on signs of greenery starting to grow after winter to a month before going dormant. With this and repotting VDB Fig plant, after it lost it's fruit it initially came with, it has now more fruit on it.
