The Nagasakiwase Loquat is the best Japanese variety so far. It has deep orange flesh, high flesh/seed ratio, and very sweet flavour. Earliest variety to ripen. Thinning fruit will enhance fruit size. The Nagasakiwase often has 2 crops a year in the subtropics. The first crop in April/May then again in August. We have found by cincturing in summer, the August crop has a much larger crop and better fruit size #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #loquat

Essential Online Resources for Home Gardeners and Orchardists
Gardening and orchard management can be both rewarding and challenging. To help you navigate the complexities of integrated pest management (IPM) and ensure the health of your plants, here are some invaluable online resources:
1. Database of Verified Pesticide Resistant Cases
Website: click: https://pestici../..rch.php [Pesticide Resistance]
This global database is a treasure trove for gardeners and orchardists dealing with pesticide resistance. It provides verified cases of resistance, helping you make informed decisions about pest control strategies. By understanding which pests have developed resistance, you can choose more effective treatments and avoid wasting time and resources on ineffective solutions.
2. Mode of Action Information
Website: click: https://croplif../..ibrary/ [CropLife Resource Library]
Understanding how different chemicals work is crucial for effective pest management. Although the exact pages might be elusive, CropLife's resource library offers detailed information on the mode of action for various pesticides. This knowledge helps you select the right products and use them responsibly, minimizing the risk of resistance and environmental impact.
3. Pest ID Tool
Website: https://pestid.com.au/ [Pest ID]
Identifying pests accurately is the first step in effective pest management. Pest ID is an excellent tool for identifying both local and exotic pests at all life stages. It provides comprehensive information on the growth cycles of pests, enabling you to target them at the most vulnerable stages and implement timely control measures.
4. Minor Use Permit Search
Website: click: https://nursery../..search/ [Nursery Production FMS]
This tool is incredibly useful for finding minor use permits. By entering the name of a pest or a chemical, you can discover all the approved uses and treatments. This ensures that you are compliant with regulations and using the most effective and legally approved methods for pest control.
5. Grow Help

6. Syngenta Weather and Application Tools
Website: click: https://syngent../..weather [Syngenta Australia]
Syngenta provides a range of tools to optimize your pest management efforts. Their weather information helps you determine the best times for spraying, while their application calculators ensure you use the right amounts of chemicals. Additionally, you can download labels and material safety data sheets (MSDS) for various products. Although currently focused on turf diseases, Syngenta is expanding into ornamentals, making it a valuable resource for a broader range of plants.
Promoting Home Gardening and IPM
By leveraging these resources, home gardeners and orchardists can adopt more effective and sustainable pest management practices. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) emphasizes the use of multiple strategies to control pests, reducing reliance on chemical treatments and promoting a healthier ecosystem. These tools and databases provide the knowledge and support needed to implement IPM successfully, leading to more resilient gardens and orchards.

For best results lychee's require seasonal temperature variations - warm humid summers and cool dry winters are the ideal climate for growing.

Yuzu Tree - a versatile fruit
Native to China, the Yuzu Tree has been used and cultivated in this region for thousands of years. The fruit is tart, resembling a grapefruit with mandarin overtones. It is rarely eaten as a fresh fruit, but is used to makes sauces, preserves and a popular yuzu vinegar. In Korea, thinly sliced fruits are combined with sugar and honey to make a thick marmalade like syrup. Yuzu kosho is a spicy Japanese sauce made from green or ripe yellow yuzu zest, chillis and salt. The yuzu is more cold tolerant than most other citrus, being able to tolerate to -5 degrees

Florida Sweet Cherry Acerola
This bright, red, cherry like fruit has varying tastes during different stages as it ripens. When fully ripe, the fruit of the Acerola is juicy and aromatic, with its acid content giving it a sweet acid apple-like flavour.
The tree can produce a number or crops each year, making for quite a long harvest season. Our selection is called the acerola Florida Sweet Cherry Acerola, and is a pleasant eating variety that is not too sour. The acerola is well suited to pot culture, where it can be kept to a smaller size. It could also be grown this way in cooler climates where it can be moved to a warmer position in the winter.
A word of warning - the foliage of the plant is covered in tiny irritating stinging hairs that can produce an allergic reaction. When pruning your trees, wear a long sleeved shirt and a pair of gloves 
Grape vines
On a hot summers day the fresh taste of grapes picked from your own vines can't be surpassed.
Grown since antiquity, they are well known and loved, and come in a large range of varieties. White grapes range in colour from pale yellow-green to light green, and black grapes from light red to purple-black.
Grapes are categorized by their uses, either as a table grape or wine grape. Wine grapes have high acidity and are therefore too tart for general eating, but some, for example Chambourcin, are sweet if left to ripen well on the vine.
Our varieties are suited to a wide range of climatic conditions. Those with disease resistance are good for humid, coastal conditions, and others are suited to warm temperate and inland, arid areas.
Fruit can be eaten fresh, frozen for a cool icy snack on a summers day, or dried for later use. It's not just their fruit that is delicious and nutritious, but their leaves as well. Blanch them in hot water and wrap them around a rice and herb filling for a delicious snack or platter filler 🍇🍇🍇 #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #grapes #backyardgarden #grapevine grape vine
