Hi folks,
Over the last couple of years I have propagated and grafted a lot of Marula trees. These are renown for their fruit and its fast fermentation used to make the famous Marula beer well known in Southern Africa countries. Some of you may be familiar with the utube video of drunken wild animals after eating the fruit. It is also used to make Amarula Cream Liqueur.Marula fruit can also be eaten fresh out of hand or to make cordials. They have a large nut inside which can also be eaten but is hard to extract.
Marula trees are deciduous (lose their leaves in winter). They enjoy hot weather and are very drought tolerant.  We have also found they are also extremely fire retardent. Their limbs are quite fleshy. We have used them around the farm as shade trees. They are the favourite trees of our resident Tawny Frogmouths Birds in Summer.They can be tricky to propagate from seed but I have found a few tricks and now have lots available for sale. Plants are either Male or Female. You need one of each to produce fruit. We have various sizes available ranging from $33 to $125. We have both grafted and non grafted plants.
Plants need to be picked up from the nursery.We are happy to open up over the Christmas break providing you can give us notice.
Phone Johnny on 0458 381628 or message me to visit the nursery.Park by the big blue mailbox and walk in.
