The development of our unique Fruit Salad Trees began around 1990, with a need to supply fruit to our growing family with four young children. Our isolated farm of 2,500 acres in northern NSW meant that we needed to produce as much fruit as possible ourselves.

Dad, James, was always learning from books and then experimenting with his learnings. He successfully grafted an old tree in the yard not just with one fruit variety but with an assortment of 30 different fruits from the same ‘family’! And so the 'Fruit Salad' tree was born.

After much more study, research and experimenting, plus realising the potential benefits that such multi-grafted trees would provide for the home gardener, we decided to make them available to the public.

James began to teach our three boys the art of grafting... however each boy needed to reach the age of ten before they were trusted to work with such a sharp knife. Now 20 years later, as the demand continues to grow, the family are truly Blessed that Scott, Dane and Mark are still grafting these special trees and still have all their fingers!
