24.01.2022 The Ice Cream Bean tree is a gorgeous tree with spreading branches with green leaves and red new growth. It is a relatively fast growing tree and will grow to around 10m high with moderate watering in a part sun location. They are drought tolerant, adds nitrogen to the soil and is easy care. It will develop white and yellow pompom-type flowers and pods which will contain inedible black seeds surrounded by a white juicy pulp with a taste similar to that of vanilla ice-cream. ...Fruiting season is around February to April, they will not keep though so cannot be harvested in bulk. In Columbia it is believed to be a medicinal tree with concoctions being made from the bark and leaves to help relieve diarrhoea, lotions being made to sooth arthritic joints and roots being mixed with pomegranate rind to assist in treating dysentery. Available now - $18.50 each

23.01.2022 NAIDOC Week is upon us and in celebration we are going crazy for Bush Tucker plants. Native Gardenia AKA Yellow Mangosteen (Atractocarpus fitzalanii) This hardy, dry rainforest tree is native to coastal forests and beach regions of Queensland. It is a tree that likes full sun to part shade locations and will grow happily in pots or in the ground. At maturity it will reach a size of around 6m high by 3m wide and will begin producing fruit from around 3 4 years of age. ... Springtime will see the white, fragrant, star shaped flowers which will turn into brown fruit which will slowly turn yellow over Winter as it ripens. The fruit is covered in a hard shell and will grow to around 6 7 cm in diameter. Inside the hard shell is a pale, soft, sweet segmented fruit that is filled with small white seeds which are delicious whether eaten raw on their own or can be added to salads or desserts. 17cm pots - $18.50

23.01.2022 NAIDOC Week is upon us and in celebration we are going crazy for Bush Tucker plants. Native Plum Pine (Podocarps elatus) AKA Illawarra Plum This is a slow growing tree and will take many years to get to its expected height of 8m and width of 4m. ... This tree produces rich, plum-like fruit which is perfect for cooking, jams, jellies or simply to be eaten raw. The fruit is amazing as it has 2 segments, a hard dark seed and a large edible, fleshy purple/black seedless grape like fruit. Sauces from the fruits are great for topping for meat and vegetables, dipping sauce for satays or a visually different pizza sauce. The fruit also makes a compliment for chilli and garlic, preserves, muffins, cheesecakes and fruit compotes. To be able to get the most fruit possible from your trees, this is one which would benefit from being planted with a friend. They are self-pollinating but will produce more if a buddy is close by. Available in 17cm pots - $18.50

Andrew is a horticulturalist and really loves what he does. He ...is passionate and incredibly dedicated to his plants and giving his customers the best value for money with the best quality plants he can.
