Exotic fruiting plants
Northwest of Auckland, in the countryside near Helensville, Nestlebrae Exotics is the New Zealand specialist in warm climate fruits, particularly the more unusual and exotic species and varieties. Our knowledge, range, and contacts in this area are unrivalled.
Hibiscus
We also have a developing interest in hibiscus, a type of plant for the warmer regions of New Zealand where the plant trade has generally been slow to present many really modern trends alongside the older varieties. We hope to change this over the next few years as we bring our very own selections to market.
Palms
Our definite interest in palms continues as well. We enjoy giving guidance to the homeowner who likes the idea of a modern, subtropical garden, but who is a bit uncertain as to what palms to plant for long term impact.
Ornamentals
We used to sell quite a few ornamentals, but we have largely given that up, preferring to focus on the above three categories. However, you will still find a few examples of ornamentals for the subtropical look in the relevant section of our products for sale.
Our advice is free
We have a large display garden, and a small nursery, along with lots of knowledge about plants from traditional cottage garden favorites to cutting edge subtropicals for northern New Zealand.
