Pine nuts are a very ornamental, edible tree, growing 10-15m tall. They bear edible pine nuts, which are great in salads, pesto, baking, as a snack, and many other dishes. We particularly like pine nuts in pasta, with roasted pumpkin, sundried tomatoes and feta cheese.
The Pine Nut tree grows best in cooler areas, in a dryish spot. They will not perform in permanently wet soil. Pine nuts can be produced as early as 4 years of age, but generally around 6 years. For more info click on 'product details' or title.

Spiral Ginger  (Costus Pictus) Is a perennial native to Mexico. This Ginger never looks ratty like some other plants might in winter - it's lush, green and beautiful! The spiral ginger is a hardy vigorous growing ginger to 2m tall, with thin red spotted stems. Flowers are very nice, yellow with red stripes. It flowers throughout spring and summer, and flowers are edible; they are often added to salads.

The Spiral Ginger is best grown in part shade to part sun, but will grow well in full sun with adequate water. Mine are in full sun and they are my most lushious looking plant. The perfect backdrop for other flower plants, and perfect protection also as they grow incredibly fast. Costus pictus will grow in containers or in the ground in moist well drained rich soil.
