Hass is the world's most popular avocado cultivar and we have them in stock. They are grafted and ready to go. We are also giving away a starter pack and instructions with each tree. Please phone 0772326446 for details.

Where possible use systemic pesticides that don't target predators and only spray if economic damage is an issue. Cosmetic damage is just that, cosmetic.

We are having a lot of enquiries for cabbage seedlings. While we do have a small program for walk in customers the only reliable way to guarantee an order is to pay a deposit so that we can sow specifically for you. Please call 0772326446 for details
