Cupuassu, Related to cacao, the cupuassu is popular in its native Brazil, but little know elsewhere. Unlike cacao, the pulp of the large-fruited cupuassu is used rather than the seeds. Unique flavour with hint of Pineapple

Tatura Trellis - cyclone proof trees, framework for netting and also training limbs to be more fruitful

Carters Red Pomelo

Cacao fruit - flesh around beans (that are used to make chocolate) taste like mangosteen and Soursop.

Canistel dip - great way to use this fruit. Just mix with Lime and Chili. So tasty!!

One of Peters Crisp Orange Jackfruit selections ‘Berry’ superb flavour.


Todays visit to Peter and Alison Salleras Fruit Forest Farm was awesome. Their passion in trialing and growing commercially a large range of exotic tropical fruits was so inspiring. After experiencing the full fury of Category 5 Cyclone Yasi in 2011 Peter and Allison were not deterred but actually inspired to future proof their orchard by establishing all new planting’s using Tatura trellessing. We were at the tail end of the wet season fruiting, but still managed to taste amazing Soursops, Durian, Jackfruit, Rollinia, Mangosteen, Breadfruit, Cacao, Black Sapote, Breadnut, Cupuassu, Pomelo and Canistel. It was great to finally meet the Salleras’ that I have heard so much about. They are so generous with their knowledge and their lifetime dedication to trialing and implementing new ways of growing Tropical fruits is so inspiring. If you are ever visiting North Qld you have to book into one of their Saturday afternoon Farm Tours.

Transcript from Orange Tree Video

This is one of my absolute favourite

citrus this is a Navelina orange and I

adore this citrus because it's a great

sized tree so you can see behind me it's

only a small compact tree and with the

Navelina it's actually the scion that

keeps it small so although it's grafted

onto trifoliata which is your regular

citrus rootstock it only grows a couple

of metres tall so it's a dwarf tree and

it's wide and broad it crops beautifully

and it has these absolutely deliciously

sweet juicy seedless oranges and I just

love it so it's one of my favorite

oranges in my orchard I've actually planted

more trees cause this one is so

productive so it's a early navel it

comes off in about May and like all

citrus it's a heavy feeder so it likes

regular nutrition some trace elements

every now and then lots of water when

it's fruiting and regular water

throughout the year and apart from that

its really easy to grow so you've got

no excuse not to have beautiful oranges

in your garden so get out there plant a

lovely navel orange and in May you'll be 

picking these beautiful home grown fruit
