Please contact the nurseries directly to discuss pricing, varietal availability and order timing. All plants are grown for spring delivery and planting in southern areas and summer delivery and planting in northern tropical areas.
McLeod Nursery
John & Vicki operate a specialist passionfruit nursery in northern NSW offering grafted purple varieties suitable for cultivation in NSW and SE Queensland.
All grafted plants are grown on approved rootstock in 100mm pots, staked and provided ready to plant.
Collection preferred although delivery can be arranged at buyers’ cost. Give John & Vicki a call to discuss your requirements.
Please remember to place your orders by March at the latest for same calendar year spring delivery.
Arbour Grove Nursery
Megan and her husband Dave have the infrastructure in place for a serious nursery business that can supply up to 15,000 Sweetheart passionfruit plants each year as well as Lychee, Avocado and Custard Apple trees.
At Arbour Grove Nursery, there is already 300m2 of space inside the brand new hot house sitting on a slab which took 50 cubic metres of concrete to pour and a second hot house in construction. All the growing tables are equipped with heating pads to ensure a nice consistent temperature for the seedling stages of the plants and a secondary area outside with hail netting will be constructed soon to provide the necessary spot for plants to ‘toughen up’ to make them ready for planting outdoors.
If you are interested in being a customer, please get in touch with Megan direct to order.

Plant Breeding Payment Scheme – Tweed Varieties
There is a Plant Breeding Payment Scheme in place for all Tweed varieties; Tango, Flamenco, Gem and Pearl, for the work put in by David Peasley in breeding these varieties.
The plant breeding payment payable is $1 per plant. A 50% discount applies until 30th September 2020 if you were a contributing member of the Northern Rivers Passionfruit Growers Group (NRPGG) who assisted in this breeding project.
If you’d like to speak to David Peasley, please contact him on 0427 126 245 or via email peasleyhort@bigpond.com
Please remember that for growers who choose to plant the Tweed varieties, the ‘royalty system’ operates on an honesty basis — please continue to support the industry by paying the plant breeding payments due on a timely basis.
Thank you
