Just putting the feelers out for:

Millettia (Callerya) reticulata (Satsuma Sakuko Fuji) preferably; and/or
Millettia reticulata (Murasaki Natsu Fuji)

They are ''summer wisterias''. Peter Valder grew them at Nooroo , Mount Wilson in NSW, so they are in Oz.
Does anyone know of a nursery or grower who may have them. (probably NSW)

Thankyou

Treeman maybe try :

Ive picked up some pretty unusual and hard to find garden plants from them in recent years

Matt

Thanks Mathew, I'm pretty sure they don't have it. I have never seen it there.

Hi Mike,
How about trying rare nurseries in the area of Nooroo or Mount Wilson. The other thought is garden clubs in the area.
Just a suggestion.
Cheers

One of my favourite camp sites is on Mt Wilson, next time I'm up there I could knock on their door if you would like?

Hi Mike,
I have no idea what variety of millettia I have. I neglected it for many years not knowing what it was. It has now become quite vigorous

Hi Gerard,
That's the Millettia japonica ''Hime Fuji''. I have that one. They make great little trees.

Hi Treeman, I only just stumbled on this thread, you may have already found what you are looking for. But just in case, have you tried Dicksonia Rare Plants at Mt Macedon?

Cheers,
Mojo

Hi Mike,
I purchased one from Leong 12 months ago.

Thanks Roger and Mojo!

Ups on researching the species, I'm wondering if I have one here in my yard. Almost certainly a milletia, but what species, I don't know.

Hi Roger,
Which one did you get? Leong doesn't have any. And isn't getting anymore.
Cheers
