[WTD][BRIS] Brown Pine, Illawarra Plum
Hi all,
I'm in Brisbane and would like to plant some local native fruit trees. I'm too old to wait for propagation from seed or small seedlings and these trees require both sexes to produce fruit. I'm looking for one male and at least four female trees of a reasonable size. Can anyone help me? -- Regards, Robert IMPORTANT: You need to remove the text 'SPAMMER' from email address to reply. |

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. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.

Can anyone help me? Try the Greening Australia Nursery http://www.greeningaustralia.org.au/GA/QLD/ They only sell tube stock, but generally tube stock will actually grow better / more quickly than more advanced plants when planted out. I'm not sure if they do this (and I suspect they don't) but you'll need clonally propagated seedlings to be sure to get the male and female plants ... or it will just be chance. Alternatively try: http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/bushfood/plumpine.htm They sell the plants in 140 mm pots but I'm not sure if they are clonal. They should be able to help you. They have other suggestions for native fruit too - like Burdekin Plum, Tamarind, Austromyrtus etc... or Eleaocarpus. More ideas he http://www.cse.csiro.au/research/nat.../plumsilla.htm HTH Amanda |
