What is everybody Growing?
When we are packing your boxes to Mail Order your Fruit Trees we find it very interesting what people choose. We thought we would share what is popular in different areas across Australia.
Unlike many countries in the world Australia is so vast which means we have different climates which allows the hot places to grow Tropical Fruit Trees, those with hot & cold to grow Subtropical Fruit Trees and the colder ones Temperate fruits. BUT this is not the case. We find people grow what they love to eat and will go to extraordinary lengths. This is best demonstrated on our fruit tree forum. People often ask how can I grow a Mango in Melbourne or Apples in Brisbane.
One thing all the Mums and Dads have in common is they all want their kids to experience having mulberries covering their faces from their own backyard tree.

Pruning after fruiting allows this delicious mulberry to be kept under 3 meters, and also encourages multiple cropping throughout the summer. It is best to pick the fruit when ripe, as it doesn't ripen further off the tree. A benefit of a mulberry tree is that the fruit ripens over an extended period of time unlike other fruit that often ripens all at once. Very low chill so can be grown successfully throughout subtropical regions.
