Kiwiberry - Red Female

$39.00 ($29.00-$39.00 choose a size)

The name Hardy Kiwifruit comes from the fact that this species can tolerate very low winter temperatures and at the same time doesn't require a lot of winter chill, so can be grown over a wide climatic range. Pollinates with a regular male kiwi fruit. Hardy kiwifruits are smaller than normal Kiwifruit, an inch or so long. Fruits are borne in clusters and have smooth, edible skins so can be eaten just like grapes. The hardy kiwifruit has the same emerald-green interior and similar flavor to the grocery store kiwifruit, except that hardy kiwifruits are sweeter.

Dwarf Coconut Malay Bronze

$69.00 ($69.00-$89.00 choose a size)

Produced bronze to red coloured fruit. Tapering trunk with a bulbous base. These high yielding precocious hybrid selections will grow outside of the tropics, in a warm and sheltered position. Worth trying in coastal locations as far south as Coffs Harbour. They will require free draining soil and are best planted deep with a deep organic mulch surrounding them. If you ever have to remove them, the heart is also edible and quite palatable.

Wanted to try this tree based on positive comments left by other growers. Tree is still small but doing well. The fruit is small and soft and of medium taste. Get occasional dieback of small branches.Dropped most leaves at the end of winter 2017, but t...

Fruitful ★★★★★ 12y ago

This apparently is the tropical version of a cherry that tastes like a cherry. Looking forward to trying one!

Cherry of Rio Grande

I have kept one outdoors through a Canberra winter, with temperatures down to minus 6 Celsius, and no visible frost damage. I think it was more troubled by the heavy clay. Memo to Daleys, your catalogue classes its frost-resistance as low. I'd say Medium.
