EnglishWhat Is Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery?
Updated
Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery is an Australian mail-order nursery that has been selling fruit trees and other plants since 1980, when it began trading at local markets. It suits Australian growers who want to buy fruit trees, nut trees, rainforest species, herbs, and non-fruiting plants, and who are willing to order online or by mail rather than visit a physical retail nursery. Its website lists plants that are in stock, with weekly updates, so the range changes over time.
What the nursery offers
The product range is broader than the name suggests. According to the site, it sells:
- Fruit trees, including subtropical fruits
- Nut trees
- Rainforest trees
- Herbs
- Non-fruiting plants, such as indoor plants and planter bags
The catalogue is presented as an "entire plant list" with weekly updates, so availability is not static. Individual listings show whether a plant is in stock and how many units remain.
How ordering works
Daleys operates as a mail-order nursery, meaning plants are dispatched to customers rather than collected in person. The site describes having successfully mail-ordered fruit trees and other plants across Australia.
Each plant listing carries practical detail you need before buying:
| Detail | Example (Grape - Sultana H5) |
|---|---|
| Price | $24.00, with a size-based range of $17.90–$29.00 |
| Pot volume | 2L grafted, or 0.75L cutting |
| Height | 40–50cm (2L), 10–20cm (0.75L) |
| Propagation | Grafted or cutting |
| Availability | In stock, with unit counts shown |
| Bulk pricing | Buy 2+ at a lower per-unit price |
This structure lets you compare pot size, plant height, and propagation method before choosing, which matters because a grafted tree and a cutting of the same variety can differ in price and performance.
What to check before you buy
A few listing details are easy to overlook:
- Propagation method. Some varieties are sold as grafted plants and others as cuttings, at different prices and sizes.
- Bulk discounts. Several listings apply a lower price when you buy two or more, shown alongside the usual price.
- Stock counts. Availability numbers appear per size option, so a variety may be in stock in one pot size but not another.
- Plant sex. For dioecious species such as the Chinese red bayberry, the site notes that seedlings are not sexed, which affects whether a single plant will fruit.
Who it is for
Daleys is aimed at Australian growers who want to build a backyard edible garden, a small rainforest planting, or a nut tree plantation. If you are outside Australia, the mail-order model and plant import rules make it a poor fit. If you want to inspect plants in person before buying, a local nursery will serve you better. If you are comfortable ordering online and reading listing details carefully, the site's stock lists and size options give you enough information to choose.
