Hi,

looking to grow this wonderful native medicinal herb. Can anyone up around Nagambi, Echuca, Turrumbarry, Hume weir, etc help me please.

Willing to pay.

Thanks

I wildcraft a very small amount down here each year, can't access the area for a while though to source propagation material.

 

 Won't be heading that way until spring at least. If you can't get on more local give me a nudge reminder later Ron and may be able to help. 

 

The commercial industry uses a few select phenotypes that have been identified. So there is a chance of finding "elite" material that's higher in actives somewhere.

Thanks waterboy 2.0.

Got some seed and a commercial grower will have 15 plants for me during Spring.

There is no commercial industry anymore, at least not in East Gippsland. Undoubtedly, there are superior phenotypes,

they were bred by allowing cross pollination of pot grown plants over a 7 year period, I recall.

Most importantly, the whole plant is harvested just before seeds are ready to drop. The plant is dried, and then a fluid extract (50%) alcohol used to capture the actives. This method ensures maximum potency regardless of phenotype.

Also sourced some salve, great for skin inflammation, and the dried herb I received,

makes a lovely tea, good for digestion.
