Gumby Gumby Leaves

Pittosporum phillyreoides syn.angustifolium
We have freshly dried leaves available now. Shown to kill cancer cells in the test tube at the University of Berlin and shown at the same institution to be a powerful immune system stimulant. Use it as a protector and immune system stimulant. You can make a tea out of it but I prefer to put 3 leaves in the Nutriblast everyday and drink it with other fruit & berries. Use a capful of Cider Vinegar to eliminate the bitter taste. Please note 40 grams is approximately 600 leaves.
….Priced at 40 grams for $38

Try ‘Grow Organic Fertiliser’ ….Used in our Nursery..

Delivers outstanding results every time it is applied to ornamentals, fruit and vegetables and herbs in fact anything. But there’s much more to fertiliser than meets the eye. Many ‘Fertilisers’, although supplying a stated quantity of plant available nutrients, fail to be biologically sustainable and almost without exception, create a weak link in the growing chain..

Heliconias Rhziomes

We have a huge list of Heliconias to choose from. Phone anytime on 0408 687 109 to discuss with Bob or see on our website. Heliconia rhizomes are sent from October to April. So it is warm enough for them to strife..

TRUE LIES

One of our customers Ray from Essendon in Victoria was wondering if his wife Barbara had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, “Barbara, can you hear me?” There was no response.
He moved a little closer and said again, “Barbara, can you hear me?” Still, there was no response.
Finally he moved right behind her and said, “Barbara, can you hear me?”
She replied, “For the third time, Yes!”

Run a tie wire about every 25-30cm and where the wires meet the post attach a pot of hoya of the climbing variety. You can strap them on or nail the pots on.

Mrytle Rust Alert now affects some plants into the NT & SA, Tas as well as WA…..which means we cannot sent plants from Family Myrtacea to these states. Restrictions will soon be lifted in Victoria as Myrtle Rust has been found in 60 locations. In reality it has probably been around Australia the last 100 years but it needs a very wet year to be noticeable.

…WA & SA, Tas & NT Customers….

There is an very old alert for Myrtle Rust still standing in WA & NT the following potential host genus are not allowed entry for probably an extended period:
Austromyrtus, Callistemon, Eugenia, Feijoa, Kunzea, Leptospermum, Melaleuca, Myrciaria, Psidium, Syzygium, Xanthostemon, Rhodomyrtus.
These are the plants that may appear in our catalogue & is not the complete list. The complete list includes all the Family Myrtaceae. It was hoped this would be a short term measure…..but the authorities are in no rush to take action that would lead to lift the restriction.

There are other plants that are not permitted into WA for various reasons. We get all our plants approved by the State Dept of Agricultures when sending.

Here are a few more for your information.

Euphorbia species, Citrus species, Microcitrus species, Hibiscus species, Azalea species, Feijoa species, Vaccinium species Blueberry, Rhododendron, Vireya.
