This month our new season fruit trees have arrived

With the cost of food seemingly increasing daily, now is the perfect time to plant fruit trees and grow your own fresh fruit picked straight from your own backyard, no travel miles! Plus, the benefits of eating produce where you know exactly how it’s been grown and treated.

Plant them now and give them a chance to settle into their new homes and establish root systems before summer.

Apple ‘Monty’s Surprise’

One of our favourites this month. Remember that old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” well I think they were talking about Monty’s Surprise. This heritage variety has current research into the benefits of eating this medicinal fruit suggest that this variety contains a combination of phytonutrients that can work with our body’s immune system. If you can only fit one more fruit tree, this is the one to choose.

Citrus Finger Lime Brown

These exotic fruit, originating from the Australian rainforests are packed full of tiny pearls (like cavier) filled with Vitamin C, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. The fruit has brown skin and is slightly pink inside, perfect for a mouthful of fizz-pop fun and a great addition to your summertime G & T.

Peach ‘Healy’s Peacharine’

If you love peaches and nectarines then this self-fertile tree is the perfect choice being a cross between the two and bringing you the best of both. With the bonus of being fuzz-less Healy’s Peacharine produces late in the season, towards the end of summer. Fruit is medium to large, juicy and sweet. Great to eat fresh and fantastic for bottling.
