Seeking Araucaria&AgathisSeed for exchange or purchase
| | |
Posted by arauquoia z7b GA (My Page) on Mon, Oct 20, 08 at 16:05
| I'm interested in securing any and all Araucaria seed (Bunya Bunya, Hoop, etc.) (other than A. araucana, which doesn't do well here) and Agathis seed.
Right now, I have Gingko and Cunninghamia lanceolata (China fir) seed to exchange. Soon I will have Taxodium distichum (Bald cypress) and T. ascendans (Pond cypress).
Are there seed companies in Australia where these can be purchased? |

| Exchanging seeds via mail between Australia and other countries is in breach of our quarentine laws. If you are from outside Australia then I must ask you to withdraw your offer to exchange seeds with members residing in Australia. Purchasing seeds from a reputable Australian seed merchant that meets all its quarentine obligations is your only option. |

Warning to Australians. Taxodium distichum is a nasty drain-clogging weed. Gingkos seem to do no harm, but are easily available from any nursery here. I don't know the others, but do we really need any more exotic plants here?
Surely the days when cutting-edge gardening consisted of growing collections of foreign plants are over? It's all a bit old hat.
Growing our own natives is where the excitement is happening. There are so many of them that are not available in the more ordinary commercial nurseries, but are very rewarding to those who seek them out (and I'm told this applies in the US of A as well as here.) |
