I recently wrote about visiting April who runs permaculturevisions .
I spent most of the day there....While discussing fruit trees April recommended Daleys online for fruit trees...she used to buy through Diggers, but now finds Daleys more reliable.
I had a look through their website as was very impressed; flipping back and fro from Daleys to Diggers.....I found most of the trees I was interested in were out of stock, or almost ready for sale at Diggers....so I ordered my trees through Daleys.....
Here is how the trees arrived by courier...

I ordered the following which arrived 3 days later.....
- a Miniature Seedless Valencia Orange
- a Miniature Macadamia nut tree
- a Miniature Mulberry, red shahtoot...this grows lovely long berries about 10 cm long...
- a Finger Lime which is described as growing between 3 to 7 meters high...Eeeeeek...I have been told that if I put this in a pot and keep it pruned, I should be fine.

This is my mothers day gift to myself......so Happy Mothers Day to me........I am travelling to Victoria on mothers day this Sunday.....so I will wish all the mums and mums to be a Happy Mother's day.
I am very impressed with Daleys Fruit Trees....I will certainly buy from them again in the future.
I didn't realize that there were dwarf mulberry trees. This is a great Mothers Day gift to yourself.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I built up the beginning of our orchard by forgoing frivolous gifts on our anniversary. For two years now, we bought each other fruit or nut trees instead. Much better than other presents.
