Fleming's Pick of the Crop:

Wes Fleming’s developed the Pick of the Crop Fruit Collection as an easy reference for home growers to choose the best fruit trees for their gardens.  Too often Wes found gardeners reaching for the same old fruit trees because the name is familiar rather than taking a risk on better options or new and improved varieties.

By developing the Pick of the Crop Wes and his expert team, has put their fruit knowledge together in an guide making choosing home orchard trees easy and has based his selections on a very simple principles of ‘easy to grow’ and ‘tastes great’!

The guide does include many tried and true varieties like the ever popular Moorpark apricot grown widely since the 17th Century in England  and Australia’s favourite apple the Cripp’s Pink Lady selected by a Western Australia grower.  Pick of the Crop also includes a great range of truly compact growing dwarf and miniature trees ideal for urban gardens, and upright growing fruit trees that save on space and look great to boot!

Pick of the Crop includes many new releases to the Australian market as well – these varieties have been developed as they have superior eating qualities and produce beautiful fruit – try the naturally produced fruit crosses like ‘SpiceZee’ – a necatirne and plum cross that is simply delish!

Other categories in the guide include Stone and Pome Fruits covering traditional varieties such as apples, necatrines, apricots, cherries, plums and pears as well as nuts among others.
