Solanum betaceum
Ecuadorian Orange is a vibrant South American Tamarillo producing heavy crops of glossy, tear-drop shaped orange fruit approximately the size of a large egg. Beneath the skin is beautiful golden-orange flesh with a distinctive tangy-sweet flavour, balancing tropical fruitiness with the characteristic sharpness of Tamarillo.
The fruit can be eaten fresh, spooned from the skin or added to fruit salads, desserts and breakfast dishes. Its sweet acidity also makes it particularly good for sauces, chutneys, jams and preserves, as well as savoury dishes where a bright, fruity acidity is welcome.
Tamarillo, also known as Tree Tomato, is a fast-growing, short-lived perennial tree, typically reaching around 2–3 m tall. Native to the Andean regions of South America, it thrives in warm subtropical and mild temperate climates but is highly sensitive to frost. Plants have relatively shallow root systems and brittle branches, so a sheltered position protected from strong winds is important.
Fruit is produced on new season’s growth, so light pruning helps encourage branching and creates more fruiting wood. With good nutrition, regular moisture and warm conditions, established plants can produce generously, with fruit generally ripening from late summer into autumn.
Approximately 35 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Most of the year in suitable locations
Subtropics: Late winter to spring

Melia azedarach
An attractive ornamental shade tree native to Australia and parts of Asia, commonly found along rainforest margins and in open woodland settings. Growing to approximately 7–10 metres tall, White Cedar is valued for its graceful form, fern-like foliage and masses of fragrant lilac-purple flowers that appear in spring and early summer. These are followed by clusters of decorative golden-yellow berries that persist on the tree well into winter after the leaves have fallen.
A close relative of the Neem tree, White Cedar has traditionally been valued for its durable timber and natural insect-repelling properties. The leaves have been used as a botanical insecticide, while the hard berries have been used for beads and craftwork. The tree provides excellent shade and habitat for birds, which readily consume the fruit. All parts of the plant are poisonous to mammals if ingested and should be kept away from livestock, pets and children.

Brassica rapa
Gold Ball is a heritage turnip producing smooth, rounded roots with golden-yellow skin and golden-yellow flesh. The roots can reach around 10–12 cm across, although they are generally at their sweetest and most tender when harvested closer to 8 cm. The flesh is fine-textured with a mild, sweet, slightly nutty flavour.
This is a genuinely old variety. It was recorded in the French Album Vilmorin of 1854–55 as Robertson’s Golden Ball and was also known as Orange Jelly. Late 19th-century seed catalogues specifically classified it among the yellow-fleshed turnips and praised it as a fine table variety.
Excellent roasted, simmered, mashed or added to soups and stews, Gold Ball is also a good keeper. The young leafy tops are edible and can be harvested for salads or cooked as greens.
Seed count: approximately 400–500 seeds per gram. Approximately 200 seeds per packet.

Brassica rapa
Italian Cabbage is an unusual old European turnip grown for its very large roots and exceptionally tender flesh. Despite its somewhat rustic appearance, the root has a buttery, mild flavour and remains tender rather than becoming coarse or woody as it grows. Young roots can be sliced and eaten raw as well as roasted, steamed, mashed or added to soups and stews.
This is a very old turnip type with a long history in European cultivation. Despite the name “Italian Cabbage”, it is a turnip rather than a true cabbage or swede. The leafy tops are also edible and can be harvested young for salads or cooked as greens.
A vigorous and forgiving variety, Italian Cabbage can be allowed to grow considerably larger than most table turnips without sacrificing eating quality. It is adaptable across a broad range of conditions and can be grown through much of the year where temperatures are suitable.
Seed count: approximately 400–500 seeds per gram. Approximately 180 seeds per packet.

Brassica rapa var. rapifera
Japanese Turnip, also known as Tokyo Market, is a fast-growing turnip producing smooth, pearly white roots approximately 7–10 cm across. The slightly flattened globe-shaped roots have crisp, juicy white flesh with a mild, delicate flavour, particularly when harvested young.
The tender roots are excellent as a baby vegetable and can be eaten raw, where their flavour is considerably milder than most radishes. They are equally good steamed, stir-fried, roasted or pickled. The young leafy tops are also edible, with a gentle mustard flavour that works particularly well steamed or in stir-fries.
Hardy, quick and easy to grow, Tokyo Market performs well across a broad range of climates and is ideal for successive sowings. Harvest young for the sweetest, most tender roots and maintain consistent moisture to encourage rapid growth and smooth, crisp roots.
