Hi,
I am very keen to plant some heritage apples along with some other fruit trees. We have plently of room. We live just outside Allora. Could you please send me your new 2010 catalogue when available, and could you suggest which varieties would suit our area.
Kind regrds

Hi, we have a few acres in Vale View, on the black soil, & I am keen to expand our orchard plantings. I would love to grow some apples & pears, raspberries & blueberries, but I believe that the apples don’t do so well in the black soil. Is this true, & are there some varieties that would be better than others. We like the crisp, crunchy, sweet red ones, & crunchy tart green apples.
Thanks,
Leanne.
Hi Justin and Kylie,
I am from Denmark in WA and was interested in the heritage apples (eg Lord Lambourne), but see you don’t go through WA quarantine. I did recently buy some Tassie potatoes (pink eyes) from a grower in Tas who sent them through AQIS here- a few initial problems, but OK.
Regards,
Mark
Hi Mark,
Apple trees are allowed conditional entry into WA, but unfortunately the conditions are generally too stringent to warrant going through the process. See this link for more info on some of the fees etc involved. We’d love to be able to send our trees to WA and spread the heritage gene pool as wide as possible, but we’re a very small nursery and it’s just not worth the hassle and expense as this stage.
Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Cheers,
Justin
Hi,
We are interested in planting a small family garden and hope to add some fruit trees. What kind would you recommend for out climate and can the bareroot trees be shipped to our state, Hawaii?
Thank you,
Jae
Hi Jae,
Unfortunately we only ship plants within Australia, and though I could guess regarding Hawaii’s general climate, I don’t really have a clue about the various microclimates scattered across the islands. My advice would be to visit a good local nursery. They should have an intimate understanding of what trees will and won’t work in your corner of the world.
Cheers,
Justin
