I'm looking for one male and at least four female trees of a reasonable
size.


Often native plants grow faster from tubestock than from supposedly "advanced"
plants, so there might not be an advantage to paying for size.

For sources, try your local council, landcare group, Australian Plants Society
group and similar.
