Low water requirements through winter, however, keep the tree well-watered throughout summer.

The Dwarf Kumquat Meiwa is a petite citrus treasure, perfectly suited to small gardens, balconies, courtyards, or even a sunny indoor position. This compact variety produces beautifully bright, round to oval-shaped fruit renowned for their exceptional sweetness. Unlike many other citrus, Meiwa kumquats are enjoyed whole — both the edible rind and the juicy flesh are sweet and flavourful, with only soft seeds nestled inside. The fruit can be eaten fresh straight from the tree, preserved, candied, or transformed into delicious marmalade, making it a wonderfully versatile addition to the home garden. Its glossy green foliage and naturally neat growth habit add year-round ornamental appeal, bringing a lush, vibrant touch wherever it is placed. With annual pruning, the Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat can be easily maintained at approximately 1 to 1.2 metres tall, making it ideal for growing in containers or compact garden spaces. It is self-pollinating, so only one tree is needed to enjoy a generous harvest of sweet, golden fruit.

Soil: Well-drained, sandy loam soil with plenty of added organic material such as compost.
Conditions: Sunny position. If you are in a colder climate, you can grow a Dwarf Meiwa Sweet Kumquat Tree in a container to bring indoors to a sunny window over winter. Citrus always prefers to be outside in direct sunlight, so once the threat of frost has passed, relocate your potted plant outdoors for the spring and summer months.

Citrus australasica Red Champagne Finger Lime is an evergreen tree with small green leaves and creamy blooms produced in late summer and autumn. The flowers are followed by elongated red fruits. The luscious caviar-like fruit within is light pink-red with a tangy, intense flavour. Red Champagne will begin to ripen, but not entirely on the tree, throughout the winter season and early spring. Once picked, leave the fruit for five to ten days to completely ripen. Please note: finger lime trees will begin to produce fruit from the second autumn of planting.

Soil: Plant in composted, well-draining soil. Mulch in spring and keep the soil moist in summer.
Conditions: Will perform best in a warm sheltered spot in full sun. Tolerant of frost and dry conditions.

The Satsuma Plum is a small, well-shaped deciduous tree that produces masses of fragrant pink and white blossoms in early spring, creating a beautiful display before the fruit appears. This attractive variety develops striking red-purple freestone plums with firm, juicy flesh and a distinctive sweet, slightly spicy flavour. Harvesting occurs in mid to late summer, making it a reliable mid-season fruiting variety. The plums are excellent for eating fresh straight from the tree and are also well suited to preserving, stewing, and making jams. For the best fruit production, Satsuma requires a cross-pollinating plum variety nearby. Suitable pollinators include Santa Rosa, Mariposa, Ruby Blood, and Narrabeen.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost, heat and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 1-2m x width 1-2m

The Navelina Orange dwarf tree is a highly regarded citrus variety, prized for its sweet flavour and virtually seedless fruit. Producing medium-sized oranges with a smooth, vibrant peel, it pairs beautifully with its glossy green foliage to create an attractive and productive feature in any garden. In spring, the tree is adorned with fragrant white blossoms that not only add visual appeal but also fill the air with a delicate citrus scent. This early-fruiting variety typically ripens from late autumn into early winter, bringing a burst of colour and freshness to the landscape when many other plants are slowing down. Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for a range of garden styles, particularly Mediterranean-inspired spaces. It can be grown as a striking feature tree, trained neatly along a wall as an espalier, or planted in large pots for courtyards and balconies.

Soil: Well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun. Frost tender.
Size: Height 1.5-2.5m x width 2m

A medium-sized shrub native to north Queensland and Papua New Guinea, Tucker Bush - Antidesma Wild Currant produces ornamental displays of tasty berries growing in grape-like clusters. Tart and cranberry-like when young, maturing into a sweet dark fruit when ripe, the berries ripen unevenly along the stems meaning a long and fruitful harvest season can be enjoyed. Berries can be enjoyed raw or used in jams and jellies, sauces and syrups where their sweet and tart flavours go well with other fruits. Plants can be used as informal hedging where the dark green glossy leaves and compact growth habit make it an attractive feature.

Soil: Rich, well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Preferring a warmer climate, Wild Currants will grow in cooler climates but plants may not really thrive and produce as well as they could. Protect from frost.

Kaffir lime trees are much loved for their aromatic leaves, which are fantastic for imparting that authentic Asian flavour to curries, soups and stir fries.

Once established these trees require little care or pruning other than to keep in shape or maintain a smaller size.
