Natives

Cupaniopsis anacardioides, commonly known as Tuckeroo, is a fast-growing Australian native tree valued for its dense shade and attractive, glossy green foliage. It forms a rounded, spreading canopy that makes it an excellent shade tree for streets, parks and home gardens. Small greenish-white flowers appear in spring and are followed in summer by decorative orange seed pods that split open to reveal bright seeds, adding seasonal interest and attracting birds. Tuckeroo is widely planted as a street tree thanks to its moderate height, neat rounded form and relatively non-invasive root system, making it well suited to urban landscapes and coastal gardens. It is hardy, low maintenance and tolerant of wind and salt, performing especially well in coastal conditions.

Soil: Prefers light to medium soils but can cope with many different soil conditions
Conditions: Sunny position to part shade. Drought and coastal tolerant. Dislikes frost.

The Finger lime, known as Caviar Lime, is a native Australian citrus that produces delicious and iconic edible fruits. The fruit grows in long slender shapes and is filled with small round pink pearly segments that appear like caviar. The taste is an exquisite sweet lime. Finger limes will begin to drop of their own accord, usually between November and March. It’s important to wait until the fruits have matured before harvesting, as this variety will not mature once removed from the branches. The fruit is beautiful in summer drinks, desserts, chutneys, jams, and marmalades. Finger limes can be planted in the ground as a beautiful specimen tree or in large pots. Being a grafted tree, our specimens will produce fruits immediately without needing to wait the typical decade for the tree to mature to a fruiting stage.

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.
Size: Height 2m x width 1.5-2m
