Some recommended varieties.
Apple "Monty's Surprise" Great cropper, excellant flavour, sweet and juicy but its greatest claim to fame is its high level of flavonoids and other beneficial compounds.
Peachcot. Cross between Apricot and Peach, lovely taste, crops well for us in the North.
Apricot "Gold Nugget". very sweet and great flavour, but best of all it is a low chill variety and will crop heavily in the North
Plum "Luisa" large yellow fleshed plum, sweet and juicy, our trees have been in 4 seasons and we got bucket loads this last summer. Totally recommended.
Tropical fruit Trees.
We recommend that tropical and subtropical fruit trees be planted in Spring and Summer so they have time to get established before the wet and cold of the winter.
Avocados: We sell the "Hass" and "Reed" varieties,
Tamarillos: We have the Golden and red varieties in store now.
