Locally Owned
Grown with Care
Our seedlings are grown in 50x50x125mm tall ‘forest tubes’ produce air-pruned long linear root systems that lead to high planting success rates. Our advanced plants are raised in white bags which prevent root spiraling and improve their recovery when planted.
All our plants are sun and wind hardened before sale.
We use rainwater to raise our seedlings but switch to scheme water as they grow and are hardened. This allows the plants to adapt to the water quality in our region.
We only sell our seedlings when they are big enough to handle the real world with good root growth and vigour.
Grown to Order
Our tube stock is raised during summer ready for sale in autumn and winter to coincide with our regions seasonal rainfall periods.
Call us on 9938 1628 for more information on contract orders.
Fair Price and Trusted Advice
As a not-for-profit we reinvest funds from plant sales in local employment, the development of our demonstration farm, implementation of our conservation activities and education.
Our nursery provides students, trainees and volunteers with valuable working experience in plant propagation.
We have years of experience and pass that experience onto our customers when they choose to buy plants from us.

Its Sunday again already, and we are open 9am-12 noon.
Have 5 Candle nut (Aleurites moluccana) trees available. The cooked nuts well known and eaten in tropical countries. We have them in larger (6 litre) stock. $55 each. Not sure how they will go in Geraldton, as they are tropical plants and will need irrigation during summer to survive. I don't imagine they would get that big here due to the dry climate. They may even submit to the hot summer days but until we try we won't know. They are growing in Perth but I don't know of any in the Geraldton area. They grow really quickly and according to one website can live to 120 year old in Brisbane. trusttrees.org.au/tree/QLD/Brisbane/Brisbane_City_Botanic_Gardens_Alice_Street_17
