FRUIT AND NUT TREE VARIETIES

This page lists fruit and nut trees that the author grows.  It is not meant as a complete list of all fruit and nut trees varieties available.  As you can see this part of the website is still very much under construction.  Hopefully it will eventually list a dozen or more fruit and nut tree varieties.

Feijoa

Hardy shrub that produces a round to elongated pear shaped fruit five to ten centimetres 2 to 4 inches long.  It has an unusual flavour, having a bitter sweet taste which I can only describe as  like a tropical fruit salad.  It needs a relatively cool climate to set fruit and can withstand quite heavy frosts.   MORE

Loquat

Subtropical tree growing up to seven metres tall.  It produces a yellow plumb sized fruit in Spring usually the first fruit of the season and makes an impressive feature tree in any garden.  MORE

Tangelo

Originally developed from a cross between a Mandarin and a Grapefruit the fruit of a Tangelo combines the tartness of a Grapefruit with the flavour, smell and ease of peeling of a Mandarin.   More
