We provide Subtropical fruit trees that have proven reliable in New Zealand's temperate/subtropical climate, and a few of the more experimental nature, for the adventurous! We ship these by courier throughout New Zealand. Each year we add new varieties and there is now a good range of fruits that are often difficult to obtain for the homegrower's orchard. Our aim is to provide more unusual fruits that do grow easily in our climate and ripen when the more conventional fruits are not available so that we can have fresh fruit all year in our own garden.
We grow most of our plants ourselves, in standard potting mix, which contains commercial fertiliser. Any treatment for pests or diseases is done with organically acceptable sprays, such as neem oil, garlic and pyrethrum etc, and any subsequent fertiliser is organic. All plants are hardened off in the outdoor nursery before shipping, so they are ready for the outdoors when you receive them.
Plants are delivered by courier throughout New Zealand, between November and March, which is the correct time to plant subtropicals. It pays to order early as some plants may be sold out before the season begins. Orders are dealt with in order of receipt, but please be aware that not all plants are ready in November.
We are always interested in new fruits, so if you have something rare or wonderful, please give us a call.
You are welcome to visit the nursery, but please phone 09 432 0018 first to arrange a time. |
