Guy Sam Wampee Fruit Tree

Wampee Fruit Trees are as "Tough as old boots" once established and we show you how well they can crop in this video. The grafted varieties like Guys Sam and Yeem Pay taste great and fruit often in the first season. When growing in colder climates just protect them while they are young because they can handle frosts once established.

These great fruit are wampees and that's what they look like inside. There a bit like a grape inside. This beautiful clear translucent flesh just delicious and as you can see they come off the tree in these great panicles off the ends of the branches and the top of the tree. and there will be hundreds and hundreds of fruit when it's in full fruit. So we have been having a good feed off this tree. for a couple of weeks now so it's certainly past. it's best but it's still loaded. This particular variety is the Guy Sam which has these beautiful oval bronze coloured fruit and they're a little bit tangy in flavour so there is a sweeter one called the Yeep Pay. Now wampees are related to Citrus but you wouldn't guess that by the look of the tree or from the fruit but this particular variety the Guy Sam does have a little bit of tang. Now if you want to grow a wampee you need full Sun and good drainage. They're quite hardy they will take a light frost. to about -2 to -3 and if you can protect when they're small plants they certainly grow much better and you will get it off to a good start but once they're established like this they're as tough as old boots so they're really fabulous backyard trees and a great tasting fruit and we all love them here.

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.

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.
