This is great guys. If any one has any aloe trees, something like dicotoma, that would be grand.

Also, I found a pretty fab nursery the other day, let me see if i can find the address. Do you guys have any favourite spots? seems like perth is really missing out with all the quarantine and import laws!

EDIT: taken away

This is the address, they have a tonne of advance stuff which unfortunately isn't for sale but they have cuttings off the same plants so you know how they will look in a decade or so, very nice and knowledgable lady was there working as well. However, I will warn they are a tad expensive.

Hopefully this is something you guys can go and take a look at.

Love your work Myco. Same here, have to keep it all legal nowadays. I won't even risk it with tbm's, I know torch's are on the no no list but still see them at Bunnings... for $30... at 6-7cm tall! Extortionate!

Google "buy acacia acuminata perth" (without the parenthesis) and results 1 and 8 are the two I am familiar with.

Is that a satisfactory manner to give direction without mentioning businesses or addresses?

Number 8 (a tree farm, hint) has the following;

Acacia acuminata Rasberry Jam Wattle, Jam Wattle 50 mm $1.40 Yes

Buy many, plant them everywhere please! I have already set over 30 free. The best time to plant a tree was 20yrs ago (5-7 in this case ;-) ), the second best time is now.

And pleeeaaaase don't go buying powder/bark/root etc, it is NEVER ethically harvested by those seeking to make profit. I have seen trees only a few years old ripped out of the ground by 4X4's and the root stock cut off... Pointless considering the species... twigs and leaves are just fine for our purposes of making pot pouri and small carvings with this variety, esp dried but not rained on.

Also, don't listen to folks that say it can be found all over Perth. Trust me, I have hunted one end of the freeway to the other, sniffed many a leaf, from scarp to coast and bar one of two examples, you won't find a thing between the ocean and the foothills. Unless it's in someone's garden, and if you rip that, you should be gut shot and pissed on from a great height then shot again.

Have a gander at them there nurseries and let me know what you think and whether or not they are the same as the one Caitlin mentioned, I missed that bit.

Happy trails!

Never heard of people saying it grows in perth before except for a few public parks where it has been planted. Gotta go over the hills for it

I think the way to go is too just wait around for council garden collection, I am pretty sure you can google which suburbs are having them. I see frangipanis every single time!

Yep i just got a heap of cuttings from doing this ;)
