| Kuranga Nursery in Mt Evelyn, Melbourne stock a couple of forms of Araucaria. They mail order to mainland Australia, but not sure if they'd send to N.Z., but you'd need to contact them. www.kuranga.com.au They have a plant list you can download and view if you want to see what they do have. |

| I thought the original poster wanted the gum exuded from the tree. No idea where you'd get it though! |

| Arttulip A check with the people at MAF will answer your question on importing live plants, however, I doubt you'll have much luck. |

| Hi arttulip Do you mean Kauri gum (amber like) from Agathis australis? If so obviously New Zealand is the right place to find it... A few web sites have pieces for sale, try a google search.
I've not come across anything similar from Araucaria sp though. |

Hard to know what the poster was getting at.
It could be the NZ Kauri, Agathis australis.
The Araucaria genus, on the other hand, is a conifer and there are three of them in Australia, the Hoop Pine, Bunya Pine and Norfolk Island Pine.
But do these trees exude a gum?
The NZ Kauri certainly does. Roy |

| Hoop Pine, Bunya Pine and Norfolk Island Pine. Hi folks,
been trying to find a supply of seed for Bunya and N.I Pine but here in the U.K the seed is usually old and unreliable by the time we get it, anyone know of a supplier of fresh stuff that i can buy from direct in Oz?. |
