Tarocco Blood Orange Grafted Fruit Trees

Cut Open Tarocco Blood Orange fruits

Shows the red or blood streaks in the oranges flesh

Creating an Orange Juice from Blood Oranges

This is the fruit from the Grafted Tarocco Blood Orange Fruit Trees. Depending on how Cold our winter mornings are and Hot Winter days means more red streaks. This is quite a good display of red streaks for the Norther NSW area. But we're sure that some southerners get even more red coming through. The red colour comes from anthocyanin which is the same plant compound that gives Pomegranates.

This is a 3 way Apple Tree - Gala, Red Fuji, Pink Lady

Did you know you can grow all 3 apple varieties on 1 tree. It is called a 3 way because 3 apple varieties are grafted onto the same rootstock also referred to as a multi graft. There are also 2 way but so far we haven't come across 4 ways perhaps this is something you can add at home when you reach Advanced level. Pollination between varieties is all taken care of too. 

Newbies often ask well can I grow a apple and an orange on the same tree. The answer is No. The rootstock is not compatible. You can look for "Way" in our search box to bring up nectarine and pear "3 way" and "2 ways" that come as bare rooted fruit trees.

Climate. These types of apples need high chill so you will need to be in a temperate to warm temperate climate for them to produce apples. Otherwise there are subtropical apple trees for those of us living in warmer climates like tropical anna or dwarf dorsette.

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

Blueberry Season! Don't we all love
blueberries
Packed with antioxidants
kids love them adults love them and we
all want to grow a blueberry in our backyard
so if you've ever tried to grow them in
the ground you'll know that they're a
little bit fussy they're like really
good drainage and they like an acidic
soil so getting the right conditions can
be a little bit tricky in your garden so
if you want to grow a blueberry growing
them in a bag is a really great way to
grow blueberry they're easy
Greg's growing them in bags here for
years he's had ten year old blueberries
in bags and they're as good as when he
planted them so this one here is about
three years old and you can see it's
really just starting to flourish we're
just getting a nice pick of fruit off it
that's going to be ready in a few weeks
we need to be patient
So if you want to grow a blueberry in
apart this is your potting mix that
you're going to need so this is your
block of coconut Coir so it's just
coconut fiber there's nothing else in
that completely organic and it's a
really lightweight fibrous mix so you
can see how loose that is and it's
perfect for growing blueberries in
because it's really well aerated so it
gives them ideal drainage and you can
add a little bit of slow release
fertilizer to it and that's all you need
you can actually use it as a basis for
all sorts of other potting mixes you can
also use it as a mulch so it's a
fabulous product to have in your shed
you're going to need something to plant
your blueberry in so we love these bags
these are what we call bonsai bags and
they come in different sizes so at 35
litre bags perfect if you want about a 2
meter plant a 20 litre bag which is what
we have this plant hearing it's going to
grow you something a meter to a meter
and a half and these are absolutely
ideal for blueberries they make your
plant very easy to move around you can
insert that into a nice ornamental pot
if you wanted to look a bit more showy

blueberry burst which is a new selection
of blueberry and it's perfect for
growing in bags
it's a lovely compact
plant that grows to about a meter and it's

So how many blueberry plants are you
going to need to plant well I would
recommend you start with about five
selections and make sure you check what
your climate is and choose the ones that
are right for your area so there are low
chill selections for warm climates and
there are high chill selections for
cooler areas and choose a variety of the
different varieties for your area that
ill give you cross-pollination and give
you a better crop on each bush and about
five plants is going to give you a
really good fresh pick for fresh berries
straight off the plant and you can also
going to have bowls that you can take

Blueberry Plant Pollination Chart - Which Blueberry variety is right for my climate?

Blueberry Plants Pollination Chart

How many Blueberries Plants do I need? Answer: 2 or more is going to maximise pollination and give you more berries. Many varieties can pollinate themselves ( See the yellow star in the picture for these varieties ) but a fruit this tasty yet expensive in shops is well worth growing in pots or in the ground and can be very rewarding. 2 or more will give better fruit set just as long as they can pollinate each other or have a green tick in this chart.

Which varieties will suit? Are you A) Subtropical, B) Warm Temperate - Subtropical or C) Cool Temperate? After you put yourself in one of these categories use the chart to narrow down the varieties to choose from. For example are you in Sunny Coastal NSW and therefore Subtropical. Then Temperate varieties like Blue Rose or Denise are not for you but Sharpblue and Biloxi are.

Eating Slowly the Monstera Fruit Salad Tree

Fruit Salad Tree Monstera

Do you eat your food too fast? The Monstera nicknamed "Fruit Salad Tree" can help you slow down. It can take 2 weeks just to eat one. It has flavours like pineapple and banana but unlike a banana where the entire banana ripens at once. The Monstera will only ripen about 10% of the fruit at a time. You eat 10% (the ripe bits falling off the stem) wrap it back up in newspaper and wait a few more days for your next delicious chance. Meanwhile your whole house will smell beautiful as it ripens. Lots of us have some places in our backyards that don't get full sun and a Monstera will thrive in partial shade. It grows in a wide range of climates one person saying "Who said it was tropical? I live in Hobart and have one outside the front door"

Plumcott Fruit Trees a mix between a Plum and an Apricot Tree

Plumcott Fruit Trees

Plumcott Fruit Trees like the name cleverly suggests is a mix between a plum and an apricot. Instead of the tart aftertaste that many plums can have it is replaced with the smoothness of an Apricot Fruit Tree. Once a year in winter we send them to Australian homes as bare root (no soil on their roots) in Winter and the 2 varieties we have are "Plumcott Flavour Supreme" and "Plumcott Spring Satin" checkout the descriptions of these 2 varieties @daleysfruit website because these are great backyard trees and easy to keep small via pruning or if you have the room just mound them up with organic matter during the growing season. We love these :)

R2E2 Mango Tree in Australia is great for cold climates Seedling vs Grafted

We show you just how large the R2E2 mango tree is and we talk about the seedling and grafted mango tree selections. The r2e2 is actually very hardy once established and is a great choice for cold marginal climates in Australia. This is for the seedling r2e2 and not the grafted r2e2. If you are in a subtropical to tropical climate best to get a grafted variety if your climate is cold and marginal than best to get a seedling. You will still need to protect it until it is at least 3m tall.

r2e2 mango fruit trees are for sale at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery. You can buy r2e2 mango fruit trees here:

Now these great big Mangoes are the R2E2 mango and they are one of the largest of the Mango Fruits. They have this beautiful coloured fruit it's got a good flavour. We grow these as a grafted plant and we also grow them as seedlings. So if you have a seed grown mango tree some of them will be grown true to type but some of them aren't going to be grown true to type so you are going to get some seedling variations as we say. But they are a really fabulous tree it's quite a large tree give it plenty of space. It's going to grow more than 6m so be prepared to have a big tree in your backyard. But they are a lovely shady evergreen tree as well so a great tree to have in your backyard if you have the space. That's a beautiful tree beautiful fruit. The R2E2's are one of the best varieties to grow if you are in a marginal climate so if you live in South Australia or Victoria or south of Sydney and you want to try growing a Mango the R2E2 is one of the best choices to try. It's a bit hardier than the others. So although we can't promise you success if you're in a frost free location and you can protect your tree for the first few years until it's about 3m tall or so you are going to have a good chance of getting Mango fruits. So you might find that you have good Seasons and bad Seasons and that's pretty much Weather dependant. So you haven't got a great deal of control on that it's just something you have to take with growing Mangoes. But worth trying if you want to try growing Mangoes in a difficult Mango growing climate. So like all Mangoes best suited to the Tropics and the Subtropics. Give them a frost free location, good drainage, full Sun and you will be cropping Mangoes like this off a Seedling tree in about 6 years and off a Grafted plant in about 3.

Very nice, very sweet.

That's sweet.

It's Summer here, the middle of summer and we are just picking the first of our Figs.

So this Fig is our Dwarf Brown Fig and you can see it has this beautiful light pale skin.

and this lovely pale flesh as well and it's a really sweet fig this so it's delicious eaten fresh off the tree a really lovely fruit.

That's very nice.

and the Dwarf Brown Fig only grows to about 2-3m.

So if you are in a small urban block or only have a little space for a Fig this Dwarf Brown Fig is a great choice for you.

It's also perfect for growing in pots so if you are growing it in a container use a really good quality potting mix. 

and keep the moisture up to it during the growing Season.

So while it's in full leaf and fruiting and growing you will need to maintain even moisture in your pot.

In the ground give it a Sunny position and good drainage and you will be picking these beautiful Figs in about 2 years.

What did you think of that?

It's quite sweet isn't it.

These are our stock plants so I just wanted to show you how we grow these. There are a lot of people who are patiently waiting for the Dwarf Brown Fig and with slow growing plants such as these we take a batch of cuttings and then we grow them on to have established stock trees.

So from these potted plants and there is about 30 or 40 here we're taking cuttings and it's the cuttings from these plants which we will sell to you.

So we take these at 2 times during the year we take them during the growing Season so during the Summer months while they are actively growing we take Softwood cuttings and then again in the Winter we take Hardwood cuttings and they're done as deciduous cuttings we root and then grow on in the Spring.

Mmmm yeah

Nice?

Grafted Yeem Pay Wampee - Sweetest of the Wampee Fruit Trees

The Yeem Pay Wampee Tree is the sweetest of the Wampee fruit trees and is popular because of this reason. We discuss the best climates, the growth habit and the way it fruits. It is a large tree but this doesn't mean it can't be grown in pots unlike the seedling varieties.

Yeem Pay Wampee Fruit Trees are for sale at Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery

Grafted YeemPay Wampee

Transcript of Yeem Pay Wampee Tree Video

Now this beautiful fruit is the Yeem Pay Wampee and this is the sweeter of the 2 varieties of grafted Wampees we sell and it's really popular for that reason. So like all Wampees it fruits on it's terminal growth so it hangs off in these great panicles of fruit and it's really stunning in full fruit. Now these are lovely and sweet they're a little bit like a grape in terms of the texture so they have that beautiful juicy flesh inside. Great flavour and it's a really hardy tree. So Wampees are related to citrus and they'll pretty much grow in the same places that citrus do really well. So if you've got a nice warm sunny spot even if you get a light frost you might want to try a Wampee because they are a really beautiful fruit and they give you loads of fruit as well so they are a great cropping tree, great tasting and grow in a wide range of climates. So Subtropics and Tropics they're perfectly suited to in Temperate areas down to about -2 to -3. And it grows to about 5-6 metres so it does grow to a fair sized tree and if you've got a small backyard you could prune it or even grow it in a pot.

Dwarf Mango Fruit Tree - Purple Irwin

Transcript

This gorgeous mango is the Irwin Mango. And it's got this lovely purple skin to it so these are ready to pick and we will ripen them off the tree and they will get a lovely colouring of oranges and red as well as this lovely purple so they're really attractive fruit with beautiful smooth flesh and they

don't have any fibre and they are only a small tree so this tree is about 4m tall and it was planted in this orchard at the same time as the other mangoes which are nearly twice as big so it shows you it's less vigorous and much smaller. If you wanted to keep it to about 2m you would need to prune your tree back every few years but just keep in mind that because the mangoes come on the end of the growth you are going to cut your crop off so if you do prune your mangoes back be prepared to lose the fruit for a season. This has got a great crop on it this year and having a good crop of mangoes is all weather dependent so if you have a nice hot dry Spring you will have a great crop of mangoes.

Strawberry Guava Fruit Tree for Sale - Golf Ball sized Red Fruit

Strawberry Guava Fruit Tree for Sale

Our strawberry guava fruit tree has golf ball sized red guavas that taste like strawberries or the typical taste that we expect when eating something red. The seeds skin and flesh are all edible. Not the biggest fruit of the guava varieties but you get this one because of the great crop, lovely taste and small size of the shrub in limited spaced backyards. They grow fastest in tropical climates where they can be invasive due to perfect conditions and birds spreading the seeds so best to be responsible and net the fruit from birds and fruit fly. However they are very versatile where they can even handle a frost when grown at altitude or in warm temperate to subtropical climates where they won't be invasive. You can even roast and grind the seeds as a coffee substitute.

Chill Hours for Fruit Trees - Calculation using BOM Australia

Many of our Bare Root Fruit Trees that we sell in June and July will not give you fruit unless you get the right Chill Hours in Winter.

For Example the Angel Peach Tree has two different varieties. A High Chill and a Low Chill Variety. If you live in Cairns and buy the High Chill Angel Peach you will not get any fruit.

Definition of Chill Hours for Fruit Trees
Time spent below approximately 7 degrees.

High Chill Fruit Trees are 650+ Hours
Medium Chill Fruit Trees are 450-650 Hours
Low Chill Fruit Trees are 150-450 Hours

Silly Question: Do I go outside every day of the year with a stopwatch and a thermometer?

Answer: You could, but it is obviously a very funny waste of time

Calculating Chill Hours at your Address in Australia
Just to make it clear straight up plants are alive and as such there is no exact science for the amount of chill hours a certain fruit tree needs, it is always going to be approximate.

In Australia we are privileged to get the website for the Bureau of Meteorology and this allows us to find the Average temperature of the coldest month. We then use this temperature to Estimate the chill hours.

Step 1
Go to the the BOMS Climate Data Online

Step 2
Data about: Temperature
Type of Data: Monthly
Select: Mean Minimum Temperature
Weather Station: [Type your own Suburb here]
Nearest Bureau: Closest to your address
Click: Get Data

Step 3: This will give you a view of the Monthly Mean Minimum Temperature for your suburb.

Step 4: Scroll down the page to the last year of information and select the Lowest Monthly Mean Temperature which is usually in July but sometimes June.

Step 6: While you are looking at this number take note of the previous year minimums. Perhaps this year was an exception and you might like to use another years minimum. So in this case I am using 7.2 degrees.

Step 7: Now we want to find the Mean Maximum Temperature that matches this figure from Step 6  So I need to remember 2011 and the month of July. ( yours might be June )

Go back to the BOMS Climate Data Online ( Likely already opened ) But this time select:
Data about: Temperature
Type of Data: Monthly
Select: Mean Maximum Temperature
Weather Station: [Type your own Suburb here]
Nearest Bureau: Closest to your address
Click: Get Data

Step 8: Scroll Down to the latest year and select the temperature for the corresponding month to step 6.

In my example it is 21.1 degrees.

Step 9: Now we want to add the Mean Minimum Temperature and the Mean Maximum Temperature together and divide by 2 to get the average. In this case (7.2+21.1)/2=14.15

Step 10
Now we try and fit this number into the Chill Hours Table below. The Chill hours in this table are commonly used to describe Fruit Tree Chill Hours and you will see them across the Daleys Fruit Tree Website in descriptions, across the web and fruit tree reference books.

Chill Hours           Average Temperature for coldest month
0                               19.7 degrees (No Chill)
300                           15.5 degrees (Low Chill)
330                           15.3 degrees (Low Chill)
450                           14 degrees (Medium Chill)
500                           13.6 degrees (Medium Chill)
520                           13.1 degrees (Medium Chill)
600                           12.7 degrees (Medium to High Chill)
800                           10.2 degrees (High Chill)
1100                         7.9 degrees (High Chill)
1250                         0 degrees (Very High Chill)

So for the case used which was 14.15 degrees we can approximate this to 330-450 Chill Hours or Low Chill. If a plant that requires Medium Chill was purchased it might produce fruit some years when the winter is colder but not others when the winter is warmer.

Things to Consider
Remember how we said you could take a stopwatch and a thermometer outside? Well here is your chance. The weather station that you chose in step 2 is very unlikely to be exactly the same as your backyard orchard. So what you can do is every morning just before sunrise record your backyard orchards temperature. Then go to the BOMs Climate Data Online and fill out the form for Daily Data by selecting:

Data about: Temperature
Type of Data: Daily
Select: Minimum Temperature
Weather Station: [Type your own Suburb here]
Nearest Bureau: Closest to your address
Click: Get Data

Now if the reading you got from the thermometer in you backyard orchard is lower then the BOMs minimum temperature you can assume that you will get slightly more chill hours then the calculation you got by using the above steps. This means that you "might" be able to get fruit with a higher chill variety.

Conclusion and Final Note
If you are reading this it is likely that you are a fruit lover who wants to test the boundaries of what is possible. At Daleys we have come to accept that people in Victoria (Australia's High Chill Country) want to grow Tropical Fruit Trees and people in Rochampton (Australia's Low Chill Country) want to grow high chill temperate fruit trees even though we don't like your chances of getting fruit. However some of you have many examples where you have succeeded. The Daleys Fruit Tree Forum has many of these stories.

If you are in a Low Chill environment and want to grow fruits such as Blueberries, Apples, Plums and even Cherries then we often have varieties that are Low Chill. For example the Acerola Cherry Tree crops in Low Chill Climates.

Growing High Chill Fruit Trees in a Low Chill Climate
Now if you know that you don't get the right chill hours and are still super keen to grow high chill plants my only other suggestion is to grow your plants in pots and get yourself a super big freezer to put them in during winter. JOKING!!!!!!!!!!
