Planting and growing tips:

1. Give it a good drink and place it in a half-shade position out of the wind.
2. Leave it in the original pot for a few days until it recovers from the journey.
3. Re-pot or plant into the ground at the latest when the roots start to come out of the bottom holes.
4. Watering the newly planted tree/bush is essential! From then on, regular watering until the plant establishes is highly recommended.
5. It doesn’t like to sit in water so a well-drained position is best. All our edibles grow happily and quickly in slightly raised garden beds.
6. You can expect the first flowers in the first year after planting, depending on the growing conditions.

Additional notes:

• The price is for one plant, about 20cm high plus the pot, coming from my bush, naturally grown with love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia. Sending within Australia only, not to SA NT WA TAS. Pick up by appointment only.
• The potted plant image is just an example.
• Most of our nursery plants grow in a half-shade. Introducing them to the sun slowly before replanting them to their permanent position will promote healthy growth.
• We usually dispatch on Monday to make sure the plant arrives at your place before the weekend.
• Do your own research before trying any new foods. Please also note our disclaimer in the footer of this page.
