Description Specification Gift wrap We have carefully curated a collection of our favourite fruiting trees that we believe not only will you enjoy but your gardens wildlife too. The luscious Forgotten Fruit Trees Collection contains one of each plant in either a 7cm or 8cm pot. Hungarian Brown Fig – Ficus carica Babits (20-40cm): A reliable, cold tolerant fig tree that is grown for its ornamental appearance and edible fruits. It has large, 3 or 5 lobed leaves and smooth bark. The medium to large fruits are brown, slightly striped and have a red coloured flesh which is incredibly sweet. The shrub is very resistant to cold weather, withstanding temperatures as low as -15c. Chinese Quince Tree– Pseudocydonia sinensis (30-40cm): Blooming mid-late Spring, the soft pink and white flowers can grow to 4cm. In a warm position or in a tunnel, 10-20cm long fruits develop, in the shape of a goose egg. The fruit is strongly aromatic and has a firm but slightly gritty flesh. It is edible and mainly used in jams and jellies when cooked. The tree during this season becomes a beautiful addition to the garden with the orange, red and yellow, exfoliating bark contrasting against the golden-yellow fruits. Chinese Mulberry – Maclura tricuspidata (15-20cm): Known well for its sweet and tasty edible fruits. The deciduous tree is suitable for any garden with it being possible to grow in a large container on the patio. The fruit is somewhat similar to that of the mulberry and the lychee (1-2 inch in diameter). When the fruits are ripe, they are a maroon-red colour with a dark, rich juicy red flesh and have a similar taste to a watermelon when soft. It has small, cream flowers in the Summer and in the Autumn its simple leaves turn a golden yellow.
