Information Request: Wellsford crops, coffee trees

Hello,

I am just starting out with an 20 acre piece of land out in Port Albert Wellsford and would like to grow Feijoa's, lime's, passion fruit, and possibly coffee trees. Just dabbling in all as you can see but I need a little more information re the coffee trees such as
Where do I buy them
What type does one buy
I am having trouble finding a www on coffee trees to grow in NZ
Cost 's
and where to dispose of the end result.

Is there any information that you may be able to give me on any or all the fruits.

Many thanks

Melissa

NZTCA has a fact sheet on Feijoas, and there is information in a publication we publish called "Treecrops In New Zealand. Basic Notes." NZTCA is involved in trials. The Feijoa Growers Association has plenty of info for member. For joining contact the Secretary, RD5, Palmerston North.

Passionfruit. Try
www.hortnet.co.nz/publications/hortfacts
There is a growers organisation, but I dont know the contact details. Try the New Zealand Fruitgrowers Association.

Sorry, I have no information on coffee.

Cheers

Ray

Sez Les: Coffee plants have appeared in the nursery of wholesaler Incredible Edibles. Ask at any good plant supply/retailer.
