Hey Guys,

I'm looking to purchase a small number (say 20-30 or so) starters of Casuarina Cunninghamiana and/or Torulosa. I will also go for seedlings and seeds but starters would be my first preference.

I'm based in eastern sydney and would prefer to pick them up myself if possible.

If anyone can help me with this endeavour, I would really appreciate it.

Cheers guys!

If your happy to start with seedlings get down to the local provenance nursery (not sure who but their will be atleast one in Sydney). I bought a load of torulosa & littoralis tubestock from mine here in Newcastle $1.70 each & they grow so fast its not worth the extra to buy starters unless they have atleast a few years & some bulk to the trunk.

the Forestry Commission Nursery at Castle Hill may have them
Give a call and ask.

Hi Ces,
If you get stuck looking for C. cunninghamiana seedlings, I would find your nearest tree and grab some dry nuts off it. They are ridiculously easy to get growing from seed. All the ones I have grown took very little care with propagation and I ended up with too many. Filled a plastic bottle with nuts and away I went!
Sandy medium for growing and you'll be right to go.

Thanks for the replies guys. Have found a native nursery in Heathcote that is willing to source Torulosa tube stock at $4 each.

p.m. me if you want the details (a quick google should produce results too).
