Bareroot trees are starting to arrive!
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.
Citrus fruit trees are the most popular fruit bearing group of plants grown in Australia. The glossy green foliage, white scented flowers and colourful fruit make these trees just as suited to ornamental plantings and container growing as to the home orchard. The fruit is produced in abundance, is nutritious, versatile and can be left on the tree for long periods.
The F180 pineapple variety is sweet with low acidity. This plant makes a very attractive patio plant, which will reward you with fruit within 2 years.
The Chilcotin Raspberry is a summer fruiting variety that produces heavy crops of good quality fruit. Sturdy, almost thornless canes carry sweet fruit in mid-summer. They are a mid season variety. This variety has good disease resistance. They fruit on the floricanes, which are the previous years growth. Prune out each cane as it finishes fruiting and tie up the new seasons growth (primocanes) to fruit the next year. Chilcotin Primocanes may produce a small autumn crop on their tips, and the tips should be pruned after harvest #daleyfruit #daleysnursery #raspberry #chilcotinraspberry #backyardgarden
The Asparagus is an attractive, fern-like perennial that can produce fresh tasty spears for over 20 years if the beds are well-maintained. Asparagus prefers sandy soils, but with the right preparation it will perform very well in heavier clays. Asparagus is a valuable investment in the long term vegetable garden. The plants are either male or female. Both male and female plants produce delicious spears, the male spears being slightly thicker, the females producing seed heads which can be pruned to encourage growth #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #asparagus #backyardgarden
The Edible Pandanus is widely cultivated for use in Asian cooking and basket making. It has a nutty fragrance and is most commonly used in rice dishes or tied in a bundle and cooked with food. Also useful in flower arrangements. A low growing plant to 1m with long narrow blade-like leaves and woody aerial roots. In tropical climates it can be grown as a marginal plant in dams and ponds, and used as a bedding plant in tropical landscaping. If you live outside of the tropics, it is well worth trying as an indoor plant in winter with a warm, sunny aspect. Allow the plant to dry out over the winter months. #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #pandanus #ediblepandanus
Pistachio trees have been under cultivation for thousands of years. They are a long lived tree and can be productive for over 300 years. The nuts are particularly tasty and can be eaten raw or roasted, in sweet or savoury dishes. The trees grow best in hot, dry summers and cold winters. They are very tolerant to salinity and drought conditions so makes a perfect crop for inland Australia 🌿 #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #pistachio #pistachiotree #backyardgarden
