Termitomyces

Termitomyces are highly prized edible fungi that grow in a strict symbiotic relationship with fungus-farming termites in Asia and Africa. Prized for their savory flavor, firm texture, and high nutritional value, they cannot be artificially cultivated and must be foraged in the wild during rainy seasons. They are considered a "superfood". Their protein content is exceptionally high—sometimes higher than chicken—and they contain all nine essential amino acids.

Perante Orange

Outplanted additional Perante Orange. Limited  grafted planting materials are still available for sale. 

This is a popular Philippine hybrid (Valencia x Hamlin) developed in Nueva Vizcaya, known as a sweet, juicy, and thin-skinned "eating orange" with few seeds. These dwarf, fast-fruiting trees (2-3 years) are ideal for container gardening and commercial farming due to their high yield and yellow-orange, smooth skin. 😍🌱🌳

Limited seedlings of Abiu (Pouteria caimito) are still available. This is a tropical fruit native to the Amazon. It features a bright yellow skin and sweet, translucent flesh that tastes and feels like caramel-vanilla custard. Highly perishable, it is packed with Vitamin C and fiber, and is best eaten fresh and chilled. 😍🌱🌳

Fruits of Garcinia intermedia. The tree may fruit after as little as two years. The fruits are smooth spheres about an inch in diameter with a thin yellow, orange, or red rind around a white pulp. They are edible and have an appealing sweet and sour taste. It is usually eaten out of hand, though it can be used for drinks, jams and jellies.

 

Brachychiton acerifolius

Brachychiton acerifolius, commonly known as the Illawarra Flame Tree, is a spectacular Australian native known for shedding its foliage in summer to produce a vibrant canopy of bright red, bell-shaped flowers. These vibrant blossoms are highly attractive to local pollinators, acting as an excellent foraging source for native bees as well as butterflies. It is highly valued globally as an ornamental feature tree. Good as a shade tree in larger landscapes. Ideal for parks and streetscapes. Can also be used in large gardens as a feature tree. 

We will release a few seedlings in the next couple of months. 😍🌱🌳
