Australia is home to some of the most magnificent and unique rainforest plants in the world. A most versatile group of plants, they have ornamental, environmental and commercial value and can be used to create attractive backyard habitats, as indoor specimen plants, small-scale reforestation projects or large commercial ventures.

Lilly Pilly Select
$14.90
A dense growing Lilly Pilly with psyllid resistance that forms an excellent screen or privacy wall. Growth is quick in good conditions and it can be clipped to shape, with bronze coloured new growth. White flowers form during summer followed by pink edible fruits. This variety is suitable for topiary. Best growth is see when the plant is grown in full sun.
Dwarf Plum Pine
$19.90 ($17.75-$19.90 choose a size)
Dwarf Plum Pine is a member of an ancient family of conifers called Podocarps. The fruit of this specimen is much like it's tall cousin the Plum Pine - Podocarpus elatus, where the fleshy, edible part is actually a swollen stem that holds the seed. The 'fruit' is sweet and refreshing with a jelly like texture. Dwarf Plum Pine is a medium shrub or small tree usually around 2m, with glossy leaves that end in a sharp point. The trees are dioecious, meaning male and female parts are on separate trees. It is best to plant at least 3 seedling to ensure there is the likelihood of at least one female. The tree is found in sheltered East Coast locations and gullies in adjacent ranges.
North Bauple Nut
$19.75
The mauve flowers of this tree are beautiful, hanging from the trunk and the branches, followed by striking bunches of red fruits. Beautiful foliage and burgundy new growth make it an ornamental specimen for gardens and rainforest plantings. Native to Far North Queensland, it is surprisingly adaptable, as it is able to tolerate light frosts. The nuts have been known to be eaten but may contain small amounts of cyanide so caution should be exercised
White Bean
$14.90
White Bean is a fast growing tree found on the Eastern seaboard, north from the Clarence River, NSW to North Qld and into SE Asia. It has a handsome form, as the tree develops an open branched structure, and the compound leaves cluster at the ends of the branches giving the foliage a feathery look. Attaining a maximum height of 35m and a stem diameter of up to 80cm when fully grown, it is a wonderful addition to rainforest regeneration plantings. It is well adapted to dry periods and does like good drainage in wet times.
