Their price list looks extraordinarily cheap; just wondering if anyone's tried them?

[MarissaE]

No i haven't used them Mick but from the prices on the web site it's hard to tell, most pages crashed for me which is not good sign for the potential purchaser! I wonder if its bare rooted stock? That would make it cheap i guess?

[Mick Porter]

I shouldn't think there would be a correlation between website problems and tree quality problems - I might see if I can take a trip up there soon, the prices look like it would be worthwhile.

No, haven't used them... but now you bring them to my attention I certainly will be! Wonder what the size of the pots are? Might give them a call on Monday and ask some questions!

Was supposed to go to the zoo in Beerwah in May - maybe time to make good on the promise...

[Scarlett Patrick]

we loved the zoo. we got there first thing in the morning and they picked us to all have a complimentary breakfast and photo session! (it was a pre- xmas special thing they had on). a lovely day, and they really care about saving the planet and all it's creatures - i'm right into that. the girls LOVED it. I recommend going straight to the kangas while they're still hungry.

Mick, how did you find out about this nursery? If it is an old site which is not maintained (likely judging from the amount of broken links) the prices could be old... but guess could find out with a call ~

Finally found contact details for my 'fruit tree man' that I used to get plants from at Beenleigh Markets.

Florence,

I found the website via Google; may well be very old.

[Scarlett Patrick]
