Hi all, i have approximately 1kg of fresh Oliver's sassafras seed (Cinnamomom oliveri) if anyone is interested in this species. Price negotiable depending on quantity. Please contact me as soon as possible as this species has a short viability. Thanks

Hi Zwillinge, I am currently collecting seed of both Acacia concurrens and leiocalyx. I tell them apart mainly by the colour of their leaves (A. concurrens: greyish, leiocalyx: bright green), the colour of the leaf stem or petiole (darker reddish in A. leiocalyx as opposed to light pink or green in A. concurrens), the flowering time (slightly earlier in A.leiocalyx) and the colour of the pods (A. concurrens: ashy-grey, A. leiocalyx: brownish). I have noticed both species often coexist in areas where I live on the Gold Coast. I am pretty sure you photo is of A. concurrens. Hope this helps

Hi all, i have 5 bags of 50 fresh Datura metal seeds. They are $10 a bag including postage (regular). Would be interested in trades.

the seeds i have are the purple fatuosa

is native to SEQ and fairly common in dry Eucalypt forests on poorer soils... often grows alongside Acacia concurrens (Late Flowering Black Wattle) which flowers slightly later and has leaves with a greyish sheen...

looks like Acacia leiocalyx (Early Flowering Black Wattle) to me... this species is fairly common around Brisbane and flowers at this time of the year... phyllodes look fairly broad for Acacia longifolia in the first shot?...

Hi all, have a single small Rauvolfia caffra (Quinine Tree) seedling and Neisosperma poweri (Milkbush, Red Boat Tree) seedling... both have several young sets of leaves... have been found to survive transplanting easily... both species contain many medicinal alkaloids including reserpine... Milkbush is a rare species so would prefer to give it to someone within its natural habitat and range (subtropical - tropical, volcanic soils)... am willing to trade the 2 seedlings together for a small Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) plant or sell for $10 each including postage... just spend an honours year studying Neisosperma poweri and its reproductive ecology:)...

looks like Acacia disparrima to me... this species flowers in January unlike Acacia obtusifolia which usually flowers around November... the grey green sheen to the phyllodes is also characteristic of this species...

Hi Heffa, pretty sure its a White Beech (Gmelina leichhardtii)... this species is in the Lamiaceae (mint) family... Davidson Plum has compound leaves...

spoke to Michael at gardenfreedom.com... the .com was chosen as it performs fastest on google... people can also use .net or .org to get to the same site if they wish... keep up the good work

hey guys, just wondering why the gardenfreedom website has a dot com after it?... shouldn't we be stressing above all that these plants deserve to exist regardless of whether they make money or not?... some people may think the website has been created by a company with vested interests?...

hi julian, have you found Acacia floribunda to be just as variable as the other species?... do you know if this species varies between areas?...

is an Australian native which is said to only occur on the Mcpherson Ranges in the wild...

hi all, have several rooted Plectranthus argentatus cuttings... this species belonging to the Lamiaceae family is endemic to the rocky clifflines of the Mcpherson Ranges on the QLD/NSW border... fast growing and hardy with silver furry leaves... many Plectranthus species have medicinal properties... not sure if this species has been tested?... open to trades or can sell the cuttings for $8 each including postage...

hi sola, have no camera... there are plenty of photos of the species on google... the cuttings are about 10cm tall...

native 2 looks very much like Acacia maidenii...

Hey guys, have quite a lot of freshly picked coastal wattle seed at the moment... seed was collected from a population on the gold coast which shares characteristics with Acacia obtusifolia... plants have redder stems and leaf tips, and narrower phyllodes compared with other individuals i have seen of this species in the past... may have hybridised in the past?... open to trades or cash... can do 50 seeds for $8 including postage...

please delete... see last post...

please delete... see last post...

was referring to D. sassafras...

Hi all, have 4 Acokanthera oblongifolia seedlings up for sale or trade... the common name for this plant is poison arrow plant... sap is used in hunting... is a very attractive garden plant with olive like foliage and black berries and highly fragrant flowers... a member of the Apocynaceae family... can sell 2 seedlings for $8 including postage or 4 for $11... open to trades...

hey, have a large sassafras tree in the forest near my place which flowered a few months ago... will check it out for seed... can it be grown from cuttings?...

hey torsten, this species has no spines at all... not sure how toxic this species is or if the fruit are edible?... the fruit released copious milky latex when picked... the flesh of the fruit is slightly milky while the stems and leaves release loads of milky sap... does Carissa macrocarpa release milky sap from its fruit?...

hi all, i have heaps of fresh Rivea seed at the moment picked straight off a large, healthy vine... i can 300 seeds for $20 including postage if anyone is interested... i am open to sell or trade more or less seed if required... would also be interested in trades...

they are really easy to grow!
