Black Sapote 7.5L – The Chocolate Pudding Fruit, Black Persimmon, Diospyros digyna

$155.00
You are buying a Chocolate Pudding Fruit / Black Persimmon / Black Sapote (Diospyros digyna) seedling as pictured, planted in a 7.5 litre pot. You are buying a plant the same or very similar to the one in pictures. These seedlings hail from a top-notch crop grown in Brisbane, Australia. They boast large, juicy fruits with sky-high sweetness levels, thanks to their high brix count. These plants are rock stars in the North Island, thriving and producing delicious treats! The Black Sapote is a Tomato-like fruit, 10 x 13 cm. large berry with a thin and firm rind. Its colour is shining dark green with brown specs. The fruit flesh is rich, dark brown collared and custard like and is therefore called the Chocolate pudding fruit. Complete ripe fruits are often ugly brown. Black sapote's flesh is rich and custard-like, with a sweet, nut-like mild flavour and when ripe fruit pulp is blended with milk, cream or ice-cream, it tastes like mild chocolate - but without the caffeine or calories!

RARE Strelitzia parvifolia var. juncea – Reed or Leafless Bird of Paradise

$49.95
PLEASE NOTE: Once they fully mature they will just be a reed type stem with no leaf. (Seeds were pollinated in Te Puke, Bay of Plenty) Strelitzia Juncea, also known as the Leafless Bird of Paradise, is a stunning choice for dry garden landscaping and adds a dramatic touch to tropical gardens with its striking blue, upright, rush-like foliage and spectacular flowers in both spring and autumn. Unlike its relative, Strelitzia Reginae, Strelitzia Juncea is less prone to wind damage due to its lack of paddle leaves, which reduces wind resistance. This plant looks fantastic when planted en masse in mid-level garden positions, reaching an eventual height of about 1.5 meters. *photos are indicative of plants available
