Strawberry - Fragaria × ananassa Go to the Strawberry varieties Strawberries are perennials and last for two to three years before losing vigour, but will likely produce runners which become your new plants. It is also best to allow approximately 6 plants per person to allow for enough for everyone, and more if you want to make jams or other preserves. Strawberry varieties are usually part of two distint groups, short-day or day-neutral. To ensure long harvest times it is a good idea to plant several varieties. Short-day varieties are good for early spring crops as they start producing flower buds when the days are short, while day-neutral varieties repeat-flowers throughout spring and summer, provided the weather is warm.

Cherry - Prunus Avium (Sweet) / Prunus Cerasus (Sour) Go to Cherry Varieties Cherry trees need cold winters and hot, dry summers, and are best suited to the Hawke's Bay, parts of Waikato, Wairarapa, Nelson, Blenheim, Canterbury and Central Otago. The best choice for a low-chill variety if you don't get a lot of winter frosts, is Lapins. Usually, in New Zealand, the cherry varieties are grown on 'Colt' rootstock which does well in difficult soil and is vigorous and hardy. If you want a more dwarf-stye (up to 3m), it is good to choose one with an 'Edabriz' interstem (between the rootstock and the chosen variety). A typical Christmas treat, sweet cherries have a short harvest season between December-January. Sweet cherries usually need a pollinator, unlike their sour cherry cousins, unless they are the self-fertile Stella or Lapins varieties. Double-grafted trees are a great solution where space is limited, with two cross-pollinating varieties on the same tree, usually ripening at different times and spreading your harvest season over at least a few weeks. Cherries can help lower the risk of gout attacks according to some research, and potentially have sleeping aid properties too. Cherries do best in very well-drained, fertile soil. They also require at least eight hours of sunlight daily, so you don't plant them where they will be in the shade during the majority of the day. They can be fragile with late frosts during blossom time, or with periods of rain or hail as the fruit reaches maturity, which cause the fruit to split. Cherries can be challenging and susceptible to diseases such as silver leaf, bacterial blast, brown rot, root rot and pests such as black aphids. These diseases are challening in their preferred climate, but will be made more difficult by warmer and high humidity climates. ​The other challenge for cherries is the birds (and the possums!) so if you don't want to sacrifice your crop then you'll need to construct an enclosure or netting.

Walnut - Juglans Regia / Nigra Go to the Walnut varieties Walnuts are known to take a long time to produce, but with a grafted variety you can start getting nuts within 3 or 4 years. Successfully growing walnuts depends on a few factors, drainage and irrigation, climate, and soil. They can be susceptible to bacterial and fungal diseases, particularly in damp, humid climates and to phytophthora in soil that is too damp. They are best suited to drier areas with less than 600mm in annual rainfall. They have a large tap root, and can't be moved easily so make sure you've chosen the right spot. Walnut trees are BIG! Some varieties grow to 25m tall! Rex is the best, smaller tree, but will still grow to 5m in 5 years, and to 12m when mature. Rex is also an early producer and is blight resistant. Another popular choice is Meyric, which has a sweeter nut but it is susceptible to blight. Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra) is mostly grown for it's prized timber rather than it's nuts, but it does produce nuts also. Both Black and Common Walnut are allelopathic (they produce a toxin called juglone that inhibits growth of other plants, through their roots, leaves. They do prefer somewhat cooler environments, and when established can cope with temperatures down to -10ºC, but late frosts can damage flowers, and young shoots and leaves. Nuts are ready for harvest in Autumn and the first to drop will be any diseased or no- good nuts, and then afterwards the good ones. Itt's best to collect the nuts as fast as possible otherwise there is a chance that rodents and rot will get to them first. They are best laid out to dry in an airy place for approximately 6 weeks, give or take. If you're wanting to stretch the season, did you know you can freeze the nuts? IThey'll come out as wonderful as they went in, fresh and full of good nutrients.​ General Availability Climate Harvest (Month) SEARCH CLEAR SEARCH Walnut varieties Click on a row, or scroll right, to view more information.

Feijoa - Acca sellowiana Go to Feijoa Varieties Feijoas grow almost anywhere in New Zealand, are fairly pest and disease resistant and are an excellent source of Vitamin C and dietary fibre. They taste great raw or cooked and there are hundreds of sweet and savoury ways to use the fruit. You may be surprised to learn that the Feijoa is not a New Zealand native, but rather arrived here from South America in the early 1900's. It is also known as pineapple guava and guavasteen – and it is part of the myrtaceae (myrtle) plant family. They look a little like the native Pohutukawa or Rata with their bright red fluffy flowers they make very attractive ornamentals, and they are hardy particularly for coastal environments and suitable for hedging. They are fairly frost tolerant and can handle temperatures as low as -10 degrees. Feijoas thrive in a sunny spot and are not fussy with the soil conditions, handling heavy clays to light sandy soils, but prefer a well-drained situation. They can also thrive in a container. If the summer is particularly dry a little watering may be needed A light prune after fruiting, so that a bird can fly through (as they are bird pollinated!) is recommended. This will help produce more flowering wood and make pollination more successful. While some of the newer cultivars, such as early season Unique (which also bears from a young age), the dwarf bambina and the original sellowiana – are self-fertile – but most varieties of feijoa require a pollinator. Even self-fertile varieties will benefit from pollination with another variety, producing larger, heavier crops. Planting at least two different varieties solves the problem. Choose varieties to suit your fruit needs wiith early, mid and late season ripening varieties and fruit of various sizes and sweetness. Feijoa's are an easy care fruit tree being comparatively disease and pest free, but can be attacked by leaf roller, scale and thrips. Birds aren’t attracted to the fruit and ripe fruit drops to the ground so it's a daily check during the season, but an easy harvest.

Grapes - Vitis Go to the Grape varieties For the most part Grapes are one of the easiest fruits to grow. They take up only a little space, and need very little care and can grow for up to 100 years! They like full sun and protection from strong winds. The vines tolerate salty air, so can be planted in coastal spots. The roots prefer a free-draining soil, so add bark, small stones and sand to heavy soil to improve drainage. Grafted plants is highly recommended in the North Island and in Marlborough where the phylloxera insects are more prevalent. This is to ensure a healthy and productive plant, and to be responsible to nearby grape growers. Phylloxera is a very small insect that feeds on the roots. It is devastating, so most vineyards are now planted out with these specially bred rootstocks that are resistant to the bug. Phylloxera is unlikely to be a problem in home gardens, however, and at this stage it is only found in the North Island and in Marlborough. Cutting-grown plants are very common though for other areas and usually cheaper to buy, as an easier and shorter propagation method than grafting. You can have a go at growing your own grape plants for free by using winter prunings. All grape varieties are self-pollinating, so it's not necessary to plant more than one variety for pollination. Grape vines flower in late spring, so are susceptible to frosts at this time; cover the tender blooms with frost cloth if there is a chance of spring frosts. Grape plants grow as vines, so they should be planted along a wall or a trellis, or over a pergola or arch. Grapes are attractive vines with their large, lobed leaves, which provide dappled shade in summer before turning to rich colours in autumn. Covering the vines with fine netting may be necessary, and helps to keep birds from getting to your grapes before you do. Alternatively, bunches of grapes can be wrapped in a muslin or paper bags. In warm, humid climates, fungal diseases like powdery and downy mildew can be problematic for grapes. It's a good idea to prune to an open canopy to allow air movement, that reduces the chance of diseases building up. A fungicide spray may also be needed, from bud burst through to early summer.

Quince - Cydonia oblonga Go to the Quince varieties Quince, Cydonia oblonga, is native to Iran and Turkey. It is easily recognisable by it's unusual rectangular shape, living up to it's 'oblonga' name. Quince used to be considered old-fashioned, but of late have made a comeback. Quince pastes are a common addition to the classy cheese platters, and the pretty pink blossoms in the garden each spring are also very welcome. True quinces (Cydonia oblonga) are part of the Rosaceae family, along with apples and pears. They are also closely related to the ornamental quince (Chaenomeles japonica), which produce small, furry fruit borne from very early spring blooms. Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis) are reputedly easy to cook with as the fruit have a smooth skin. Quince trees are hardy and perform well in most areas of New Zealand. They grow and produce best in a location with full sun and free-draining soil – though they will tolerate some and dry spots. The trees prefer a temperate location but still grow well in hot, dry and humid regions. Decidious, and loving the cooler weather, Quince can handle frosts down to -20˚C. Quinces require less chilling than other fruits – only around 100 - 400 hours – which even in the warmer areas of New Zealand should be fine. They require very little care or attention, and are not susceptible to many pests or diseases. Quince leaf spot is somewhat common, though difficult to prevent, and is mostly an aesthetic issue as it hardly affects the tree or fruit itself. Without pruning, the branches can become congested but a thinning out prune every second winter is usually sufficient. Quince trees make a stunning garden feature, usually trained with a single trunk to a multi-branched tree. The trees are quite long lived, to around 50 years, and grow to three to five metres tall. The soft-pink cupped blossoms in spring are large but delicate, along the dark stems. For smaller gardens, quinces can be espalier-trained. A mature quince tree will produce up to 20kg of fruit each season, which is usually sufficient for the whole extended family! The fruit is harvested in late summer to early autumn, when it turns from green to yellowish and becomes fragrant. The fruit will hang on the tree into the winter, but will be damaged by frosts so anything left can be for the birds to enjoy. Store unblemished fruit in single layer trays, ensuring that fruit won't touch each other. Quinces can store for up to two or three months in a cool, dark place. Quince does not make for good fresh eating, being dry, tough and tannin-tart. Once cooked, however, the fruit transforms into spicy, rich pink flesh. With its high pectin content, the fruit is perfect for preserves like jelly and paste; indeed, the original marmalade recipe used quinces. Q uinces have such a lovely fragrance that they are great just sitting in the fruitbowl. Romans used the oil for perfume, and the essential oil is used in aromatherapy for its anti-inflammatory, soothing, properties.

Apricot - Prunus Armeniaca Go to Apricot Varieties Apricots are a quintessential summer fruit! In New Zealand we know Christmas is right around the corner once the apriocts are in store. Great for fresh eating, they can also be dryed or preserved to enjoy throughout the year. Early varieties (December/January) require lower winter chill requirements, so are often a better choice for warmer northern areas. Later, and dwarf, varieties need plenty of winter chill so do better in regions like Otago and Canterbury, however late frosts can also pose a problem during the blossom period which is something to be aware of Apricots are usually self-fertile, although there are a couple of exceptions and they do tend to produce better if there is another variety nearby. Apricots like well-draining and rich organic soil, in a sheltered, sunny position. They do need plenty of water over the fruiting period (approximately 5cm per week), so be aware if you are in a drought-prone environment. Often they are grafted onto peach or plumstocks to give qualities from that rootstock.
