R2E2 Mangos that will be used for seedlings

I have noticed in the fresh juice stores just this month the Acerola cherry as a new ingredient. Word of its high vitamin C and other health benefits are making it to OZ finally. 180mL of Acerola = 14L of orange juice in vitamin C. We use the variety Florida sweet as we find it has a more cherry like flavour than other more sour varieties. It is also commonly used in the Japanese practice of bonsai so great for small pots or if grown in the ground it can get 2-4 metres in good conditions. If you don't have long cold winters then the subtropical Acerola Florida sweet cherry fruit tree is worth a try. Self pollinating so you only need one.

Buy Burdekin Plum Fruit Tree - The Australian Native Plum

For Sale Burdekin Plum Fruit Tree

You are looking at an Australian native plum tree called the Burdekin plum fruit tree. The problem with this plum is it comes off hard and it needs to be ripened away from the air. Aboriginals were said to have taught the European settlers to bury them in the ground which softens them and brings out the flavour. However an air tight container will do the trick. What sets this tree apart from other plums is that once established it can handle a long nasty dry spell common to Australia. Plant a few of these because their shade is splendid. Our webpage on this plum has some great tips on getting the most from this tree left by different people from across Australia.

Growing Fruit Trees - General Guide

This guide is general in nature but this applies to most of the fruit trees we sell. In order to grow fruit successfully you tree will require the following

• A full sun position
• Free draining soil - if you have heavy soil, mound your planting site with compost and good quality garden soil before planting, you can work Gypsum into the hole to break up clay.
• 6-7 ideal pH for most plants
• Regular applications of a balanced NPK fertilizer during the growing season as directed, foliar sprays of liquid fertilizer will also be beneficial during the warmer months. Choose an organic fertilizer if you can.
• Regular and even moisture will result in the best fruit.
• Maintain a weed free area around your tree
• Liberally apply compost around your fruit trees and mulch them well with an organic mulch, this can be your own lawn clippings. This will help to retain moisture and reduce weed competition, be sure to keep away from the trunk of your tree.
• Potted fruit trees will require a pot at least 25- 35 litres in size and always use good quality potting mix in pots, feed and water regularly. Wetting agent can be very helpful to ensure the mix is penetrated.
• Remove all the flowers from young trees for the first two years so your tree has a chance to establish into a strong and healthy plant before you leave the fruit to mature
• Maintain all grafted plants by removing any suckers from below the graft as they appear.
