For that fiery personality in your life, the Plum is the rockstar of the stone fruits. Its groove and smooth stone makes it stand out from the crowd. Leos and Virgos alike will love growing the plum. Plums don't love the hot humid summers of the top end of Australia, but will grow well in all other areas.

Botanically they are a Peach, but they have the texture of an Apricot. A more versatile grower than the Plums and Apricots, Peachcots grow throughout Australia and especially love the tropical and colder climates. The Peachcot is a dark horse.
Never underestimate the peachcot, they may look like they don't like you but once they warm to you, their generosity and their sweet and delightful temperament will never stop giving you the warm fuzzies.

The warm fuzzy Peach is the heart and soul of social occasions. If you have one of those peachy keen individuals in your life, give them a Fruit Salad Tree so they can plant some love and enjoy basking in their Peachy love and fuzziness. They fruit in November, just in time to get organised for the party season.
We graft two different Peach varieties here at Fruit Salad Trees: The Yellow Peach (Florda Prince) is a medium-sized peach and is the earliest fruiting peach variety. The White Peach (Tropical Snow) is a medium to large freestone Peach. It's resistant to bacterial spot too - what a peach!

The Nectarine is hearty, strong, dependable fruit. A bit of a health fiend, it's full of Vitamin A and Vitamin C and just loves growing in an edible garden, perhaps with carrots, garlic chives and comfrey.

We hand graft and personally care for all of our unique trees on our property at Rollands Plains, which is on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, where we have been grafting for many years since moving from Emmaville, near Glen Innes in New South Wales. We started grafting our unique Fruit Salad Trees in Emmaville in 1990.
