The Feijoa is sometimes called the pineapple guava, from its unique taste. Although it is in the same Myrtaceae family, it is not a guava.

Becoming increasingly popular as a commercial crop, the fruit has the taste and aroma of strawberry, pineapple, lemon, passionfruit and guava. The oval fruit is green as it develops and stays this way as it ripens. Most fruits are about 50mm long, but some commercial varieties can be up to 75mm long.

Fruits will ripen from March through to June, and the tiny edible seeds are embedded in a jellylike centre. The spectacular purple, dark red and white flowers have sweet, delicious petals that also make a superb ingredient in sweets and drinks.

The trees are very attractive and can be planted to form beautiful flowering and fruiting hedges, screens or windbreaks. The grey-green foliage is wind tolerant. They espalier well and can be trained as a small standard tree, or a multi-trunked specimen. They are well suited to pot culture, and even seedling trees will produce flowers and fruits after as little as three years.

Netting is recommended to prevent bird and fruit fly attack. Trees can grow as high as 4 metres, but can be pruned to between 2-3m. They can tolerate temperatures down to -10C - typical of the region of origin in southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.

Feijoa trees like slightly acid to neutral free draining soil, and are not tolerant of water logging. They can be quite drought tolerant, but best results are achieved when kept watered to establish, and during flowering and fruiting. While they fruit in warmer climates, the best flavour develops in cooler areas. If you think your area may be too warm for full flavoured fruit, grow them for their sweet, edible flowers

 The Phalsa is a shrub native to Asia that produces orange-yellow flowers followed by open clusters of small berries.

The soft, fibrous flesh is greenish-white stained with purplish-red near the skin. The flavour is pleasantly acid, somewhat grape-like. The fruits are eaten fresh as dessert, made into syrup, and extensively used in the manufacture of soft drinks.

After fruiting, prune to keep to the attractive shrub to 2mts high. The plant may drop some leaves during transit. It is a hardy plant, and when acclimatising in its new location, will respond well and bounce back. It can take 3 weeks for plants to recover from transit stress 🌿 #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #backyardgarden #phalsa

 The Jaboticaba fruit tree has a habit of producing the fruit directly on the trunk, making it a visually striking tree. The black fruit has an edible, thin, but tough skin. The texture is similar to a grape, with a sweet and aromatic flavour.

Cropping can begin at 5 years, with several crops maturing from spring to autumn. The Jaboticaba is a versatile small tree with decorative coppery foliage that makes for a great ornamental tree, or a superb hedge

 The Para Dwarf is a late flowering variety of Acai Palm with large elongated fruit and dwarfing characteristics. The trees fruit at under 5m.

Acai (pronounced Assa-ee) have brightly coloured skin of purple and red. The flesh is smooth and almost fibreless. Very sweet and good quality - high in calcium and iron. Produces well and is fairly consistent. High in anthocyanin compounds and reputed to be a highly nutritious fruit. Best for tropical areas 🌴🌴🌴 #daleyfruit #daleysnursery #acaipalm #paradwarf #backyardgarden #dwarftree

 The Amla - or Indian Gooseberry - is a small leafy tree that grows throughout India and bears an edible fruit. Amla oil is extracted from its seeds and pulp. The Amla fruit is often referred to as the "Indian Gooseberry" because of its edible, very tart taste. The pectin content makes it ideal for jam and chutneys.

The tree begins to yield fruit from the third year onwards, and the productivity levels are good. Amla oil is prepared from dried Amla berries, which have been soaked in coconut oil for several days. This oil is one of the world's oldest natural hair conditioners. These trees are semi deciduous in the winter and spring, and may lose some leaves in transport as a stress response. This is quite normal and the plant will recover well 🌿
