shadoh Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hope you have plenty of room I had plans of growing one in my suburban backyard until I found out they reach 35 metres (115 ft) tall. You can usually find them around the place. A quick google search found this: http://www.quicksales.com.au/buy/auction.aspx?itemid=10847381 Edit: Just realized you are in WA and most places can't ship seeds over to you due to quarrantine...

les Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks for that shadoh I will apply the pollard method where the tree is cut of at about ten feet and allowed to branch out each year this is done which keeps harvesting in easy reach and growth in check its used on street tree under power lines and my compost heap can be toped up with the by-products(branch and twigs) CHEERS Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
