Hey All,
Does anyone know where one can purchase Brazillian rain trees? Preferably a few years old but I can't find anything online so at this point I'd take seedlings.
I'm based in Sydney but would be happy to pay for shipping.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Brazilian Rain Tree
They're considered an invasive species I think. So I dont think a nursery will grow or sell seed. There is heaps of them here in the brisbane city on the sidewalk for shade. It may be the same in Sydney. I dont know how easy it is to collect seed from them but maybe thats an option?

Re: Brazilian Rain Tree
They are grown as street trees in some suburbs here on the Gold Coast. If you see a large one in your area have a look around under the tree, they often have self sown seedlings growing nearby. I have a couple of small ones that I dug out of some mulch the council put down around some bushes in a roadside plantation.
Cheers, Frank.
I know them as Leopard tree, so it may be a slightly different species to the Brazilian Raintree, although they look very similar.Cheers, Frank.
