Cherimoya - Annona cherimola Go to the Cherimoya varieties Cherimoya, which is also known as the custard apple originated in the subtropical valleys of the Andes mountains in South America. It is very sweet and has a typical tropical pineapple, banana, passionfruit type flavour. Unlike most decidious trees, Cherimoy are only briefly decidious during spring, before the flowers and new foliage emerge. They are subtropical, but can handle light frosts - although are not as hardy as avocados or lemons, but they are somewhat hardier than tamarillos. It can be a good idea to protect them frostcloth in early years. Mature trees can handle a moderate frost. They do not like having wet feet and can be susceptible to root rot if drainage is not great. Fruit ripens from August to November depending on the variety. For the most part they are pest and disease resistant. Cherimoya varities General Availability Climate Harvest (Month) SEARCH CLEAR SEARCH Click on a row, or scroll right, to view more information.

Nectarine - Prunus Persica (var Nucipersica/Nectarina) Go to Nectarine Varieties Nectarine's are recognisable by their smooth skin and are occasionally referred to as a shaved or fuzzless peach. Although Nectarines and their fuzzy siblings Peaches are regarded different fruits in a commercial sense, they actually belong to the same species - Prunus Persica. Several genetic studies have concluded nectarines are produced due to a recessive allele , where the fuzzy peach skin is dominant and the smooth recessive. Just like with peaches, nectarines can have yellow or white flesh, and be clingstone or freestone. Nectarines are slightly smaller and sweeter than peaches on average. The origins and history of the nectarine is unclear - the first recorded mention in English is from 1616, but they had probably been grown much earlier within the native area of the peach in central and eastern Asia.

Banana - Musa Acuminata / Balbisiana / × Paradisiaca Go to the Banana varieties Bananas must be the best known of all tropical fruits and are arguably one of the most healthy and versatile fruits. Originating in South-East Asia they have been grown in the Tropics since ancient times. They are incredibly ornamental with their large lush leaves. It is expected that one bunch of bananas is produced per plant. Bananas need f ull sun and shelter from any cold and wind. Fruiting is governed by sunlight and warmth on the trunk. To encourage the warmth, pile compost around the trunk well up the stem but don't let it touch, as the heat could burn the plant. Although they c an be grown in sheltered sites by the coast, they are not very tolerant of saline conditions. They require constant warm and hot conditions, as essentially all growth stops at 15°C and below. Pants can survive -2°C for short periods, but temperatures below -4°C may kill the underground rhizomes. Not too severe frosts will burn the leaves and the banana will grow back. Bananas need even and regular moisture especially during hot periods where the large leaves will transpire heavily, but will not do well in water-logged conditions. They will thrive in slightly acid soil. Once the tree has produced, it is no good - so mulch up the old leaves and trunk, add it to the compost heap around the tree - hopefully it will have given you some pups (sucker growth) for your next banana tree.

Lemon - Citrus x limon Go to the Lemon Varieties Cultivars, or varieties of lemon in New Zealand largely fall into two broad groups: the Eureka group (Villafranca, Genoa, and Eureka selections) and the Lisbon group, (Yen Ben, Lisbon). There are two important differences to distinguish between these two groups, firstly all the Lisbon selections are relatively thorny whereas the Eureka group is virtually thornless; and secondly that only the Lisbon selections have good compatibility with the trifoliata rootstocks, which is often used to help the variety to be more cold tolerant and disease resistant. The Meyer lemon, which is arguably New Zealand's most popular lemon for the home grower is actually a lemon/mandarin hybrid and is the most cold hardy of all citrus varieties. Lemon trees are subtropical (or tropical) and don't love frosts or temperatures below -2˚C. If you are in a particularly cool climate, you could consider growing your lemons in containers and under cover - or bringing them into a glasshouse, or inside, at least during the winter season. They like to be w atered well during the early stages and during long dry periods, particularly when the fruit is developing. Lemons are 'gross feeders', which means they require regular and heavy feeding - ideally with a specialist citrus fertiliser. You can prune to shape (they like an enclosed centre), but allow sunlight and wind movement. Prune all rootstock growth and watch out for the rootstock spikes when you do (particularly true with Trifoliata).

Avocado - Persea Americana Go to the Avocado varieties Avocados likely originated in Central America and are a staple part of the diet for many cultures. In modern times this strange fruit has been carried to all different parts of the world. Generally speaking there are three types of avocados - Mexican, Guatemalan and West Indian, which all vary in fruit, leaf type and cold hardiness. Avocado varieties have been split into two flowering types. 'A' Type - Female opens morning of first day and then the Male opens afternoon on the second day. 'B' Type - Female opens afternoon of the first day and then the Male opens morning of the second day. If the temperature is above 21 degrees C the opening and closing of flowers will open like clock work. If the temperature drops below this the daily openings become delayed and irregular. A 7+ year old tree can bear around 200 (or more!) fruit annually. Avocados require a warm, sheltered sunny position, protected from frosts and general cold and from the wind - particuarly when young. They are quite salt tolerant. They may need some supplementary water in the summer, particularly for young trees, but they do not like being water-logged. Avocados are shallow rooting, and it is recommended to stake well and mulch the tree surrounds to protect the surface roots and retain moisture. In the home garden you can let one of the rootstock suckers grow as a pollinator. But be careful to control the sucker otherwise it might take over.

Grapefruit - Citrus × paradisi Go to the Grapefruit varieties New Zealand does not generally grow varieties of the true grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) as the climate is not hot enough here. Star Ruby is a true grapefruit but should only really be planted in New Zealand's warmest climates. Instead, we grow grapefruit-like citrus, which is thought to be Pomelo - Mandarin hybrids such as Morrison Seedless and Wheeny which can thrive in a less warm climate than true grapefruit. This style of New Zealand grapefruit was introduced from Australia by Sir George Grey in 1855 and was originally known as 'Poorman orange' because of its slightly bitter flavour but heavy fruiting qualities. By the 1920’s the thin-skinned, high-quality strains were referred to as New Zealand grapefruit. There was an attempt at a rebrand in 1981 as ‘Goldfruit’ but locally at least this hasn't stuck. These varieties are vigorous and large, producing good yields of medium-large fruit with a yellow skin and orange-yellow flesh. The best quality fruit tends to be grown on trifoliata rootstock. The fruit can be seedy if cross pollinated, particularly with Wheeny grapefruit, Meyer lemons, Seminole tangelos, or Clementine mandarin, but when grown in blocks on its own, can be almost seedless. They do have a tendency to be biennial bearing. The New Zealand grapefruit is a versatile fruit with a long season that can stretch from May through to January, with the very early fruit often used for marmalade.

Plum - Prunus Domestica / Salicina / Simonii Go to the Plum varieties Plums are likely one of the first fruits domesticated by humans - and the three most abundantly found species are not found in the wild, but only around areas that have been settled: Prunus domestica has been traced to the Caucasus Mountains in Eastern Europe, and in China the Prunus salicina and Prunus simonii . Plum remains have been found in archaeological sites from the Neolithic age along with figs, grapes and olives, grapes and figs. It is possible that plums originated in Iran. Plums flower early in the season and can be damaged by spring frosts. European plums tend to be more frost tolerant than Japanese varieties. Disease susceptibility and vigour varies widely within plum varieties and you should be careful both with your variety selection and where you choose to plant. Japanese plums are susceptible to both bacterial canker (Pseudomonas syringae pv.) and bacterial spot (Xanthomonas prunii p.v. prunii). European plums are regarded as self-fertile (with some exceptions), however, cross pollination is recommended to ensure good, full heavy crops. Japanese plums on the other hand are mostly not self-fertile with many varieties requiring specific pollination and some varieties only have value as highly fertile pollen donors, the fruit itself not being sought after. The European plums cannot pollinate the Japanese plums and vice versa.

Blueberries - Vaccinium corymbosum / virgatum Go to the Blueberry varieties There are two types of Blueberries typically grown in New Zealand, Rabbit Eye (Vacciunium virgatum) and Highbush (Vaccinium Corymbosum). Highbush blueberries originated in north-eastern USA. They are the earliest berries to ripen with some varieties fruiting from mid November. The bushes are deciduous and can grow to 6 meters high if unpruned. Highbush itself has two groups, Northern and Southern, orginating in the northern hemisphere means this is counter intuitive to NZ, with Northern high bush varieties doing well in Southern cooler areas (south of Waikato) and Southern highbush varieties doing better in warmer Northern areas (north of Waikato). Rabbit Eyes originated in south-eastern USA, and is different in several ways than the high bush, they are evergreen, more vigorous and yields are generally better. In N.Z. these are the main late season fruit, producing until around mid April. They tend to better in warmer climates, north of Waikato. Blueberries can be expensive to establish when compared to other crops, but they remain productive for a long period of time. Blueberries need well drained, acidic soils with an organic content of at least 3% and a pH of 4.0 to 5.5. Blueberries do not tolerate standing water or grow well in excessively wet areas.

Hybrid Stonefruit - Prunus X Go to Hybrid Stonefruit Varieties Hybrid Stonefruit are a cross between the Prunus species, such as between apricots (Prunus armeniaca) and Japanese plums (Prunus salicina) or cherry plums (P. cerasifera) and are known as interspecific plums. First generation crosses are known as plumcots, a name coined by Luther Burbank, or apriplums depending on which they more closely resemble. After those first generation crosses further crosses have have taken place resulting in many new modern hybrids and resulted in certain characteristics of the original fruits being dominant, but with specific benefits such as increased hardiness, lower acidity, higher sugar content, or firmer flesh. While Luther Burbank experimented with the early hybridization of plums and apricots, we have Floyd Zaiger, a family fruit farmer and a truly remarkable hybridizer in Modesto, California to thank for the popularisation of the hybrids.

Hazelnut - Corylus Avellana / Colurna Go to the Hazelnut varieties The hardy Hazelnut is one of the easiest nuts to grow, they enjoy cool winters, wet springs, and warm summers. They prefer fertile, moist soil and can tolerate frosts but are not fans of the wind a sheltered site is best. You'll need to allow 2.5-5m between trees depending on the tree and how vigorous they are. ​Whiteheart is the 'flavour du jour' and is favoured by most South Island orchardists. Growing to around 4m tall, it is lower vigour than other varieties and produces quality and flavoursome nuts of a smaller size excellent for the cooking and processing market. Hazelnuts are wind pollinated from the catkins of another variety. You should at maximum have 1 pollinator variety for every 9 other trees, with consideration about your prevailing wind direction. If you have the space, 3 or 4 different variety combinations is ideal. If not regularly pruned, hazelnut trees will grow suckers which form a dense bush at the base of the tree. During the hot summer months, irrigation will likely be needed and you should regularly check that moisture levels are adequate.They can be at risk of fungal and bacterial diseases, particularly in areas where there is long wet periods, followed by hot days. The only pest that can pose a real problem to the Hazelnut is the big bud mite, affected buds are best removed in winter Once trees are established they tend to tolerate adverse conditions well and are more resistant to disease threat. These recommendations are particularly for young and newly planted trees. ​ General Availability Climate Harvest (Month) SEARCH Hazelnut varieties CLEAR SEARCH Click on a row, or scroll right, to view more information.

Almond - Prunus Dulcis Go to the Almond varieties Almonds, or prunus dulcis, are related to the family of peaches, plums and apricots. If your climate suits growing those fruits, then you can grow almonds however it is good to know that not all varieties are self-fertile, so ideally you'd have at least two for cross pollination. Almonds are susceptible to bacterial blight, also known as gummosis, so need decent air flow and not too much humidity. The Treecrops organisation are doing a study on which varieties perform best in which areas of New Zealand, and you can find their information here . They are a wonderful source of nutrition, full of protein, vitamin E, copper and magnesium. Almond trees tend to grow well in all areas of New Zealand but their productivity, susceptibility to disease, and the shell and flavour can vary a lot in different climates and conditions. They also can be hit hard by frosts during blossom, which can be difficult in the cooler South Island areas.

Our Story We love fruit trees and home grown fruit! But on a normal suburban section (700m2) we have to be selective about our choices of trees and we want them to be able to produce for us! When we were looking around and learning about different varieties we found it was very hard to compare different varieties - especially if they were from different nurseries - and then sometimes you find a variety and it's not clear where you can get it from either. ​ We always have had lots of questions when it comes to choosing a variety or cultivar - When is harvest season (can we extend our growing season of home produced fruit)? Is this variety suitable for fresh eating, storing, preserving, cooking/baking? Is it self-fertile or does it need a pollinator, and which one? Does it suit our climate - is there a variety that does better in our warmer or cooler climate? Oh so many things to take into consideration. Of course speaking with the experts at your local plant store is also helpful, but sometimes it's nice to do your homework too and to know even the right questions you want to ask. ​ Currently we have approximately 28 fruit trees on our property, and at least the same number of berries, vines and other food producing shrubs. We are renovating an old glasshouse too and hoping to have that up and running for summer 2022. We are not aiming to become self-sufficient, it's not possible on this size a section, but we'd love to at least produce a good proportion of our own fruit and veges and improve the soil through composts and worm farms we've got going on. We are complete novices, but are interested in food preservation - and aim to do some dehydrating and canning with next years produce. Weve also got two little kids - 4 years old and an under 1 - so time in the garden and in food preservation is very scarce at the moment. ​ After working in the corporate sector for many years in digital and marketing roles, I'm balancing being a part=time stay at home mum and my own small business servicing local clients (particularly those using platforms such as Shopify and Wix). I am passionate about our environment, permaculture and local or community sufficiency. I believe that the more we can produce locally, or even at home, the less impact there naturally is on our environment - less waste, less packaging, less food miles and more resilience, more abundance, more community and healthier fresher food. ​ This website is free to use, and we hope it provides value to you.
