Please note: The price is for one plant. As these plants are grown from seed, fruit colour, flavour and size may vary, with mature trees producing white, pink, red or yellow-fleshed fruit. Many of the species we offer are extremely rare in New Zealand and can be difficult to source. We spend considerable time locating high-quality seeds from trusted growers both within New Zealand and around the world, allowing us to offer unique and hard-to-find species to fellow collectors and gardeners.
