🌿 First official open day this season – this Friday! 1st May 2026.
MAY Opening Hours: Thurs–Sat, 8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Good morning!!
With Bushfires at the front of my mind after our recent events, I decided to run an OPENING SPECIAL on our MARULA trees.
✨ 1.2 m high Marula plants (non-grafted) – $44 each
I’m offering these as a bushfire-area planting special for people looking to introduce more resilient shade trees around homes and properties. We’ve found Marulas have remarkably fleshy limbs that tend to sizzle rather than flame, hence on the farm here, we are gradually using them to replace some of our more flammable trees closer to buildings.
ABOUT MARULA
After seeing Marula on a trip in the Kalahari Desert 30 years ago, I brought back an improved selection of seed. I could see its potential for our Geraldton permaculture conditions — and over the years it has proved to be a fascinating and very useful tree.
Marula is best known for its fruit, which naturally ferments quickly and is used to make the famous Marula beer in many Southern African countries. Some of you may have seen the well-known clips of wildlife devouring the fallen fruit! The fruit is also used to make Amarula Cream Liqueur.
The fruit can be eaten fresh straight from the tree or made into cordials or beer. Inside each fruit is a nutritious kernel (though it takes a bit of effort to extract).
Marula trees are:✔ Deciduous✔ Heat loving✔ Very drought tolerant
✔ Excellent shade trees for dry climates
They’re also a favourite summer perch for our resident Tawny Frogmouths 🦉
🌱 To get fruit you need male or female plants (you need one of each for fruit). We can only determine the sex from our grafted plants. The plants on special are not grafted. Grafted plants are available - $130 each.
Pickup from the nursery only (Sorry — no interstate orders)
