hey people

this murraya paniculata- mock orange, orange jessamine, cosmetic bark tree etc. is up for sale or trade.
it is a rather large tree with a base of nearly a foot across and a nebari spread of about 1 and a half foot. i am willing to trade for stock trees or trees in a refinement stage etc. or sale price is $250 negotiable.

i have done the main chop downs on it and a little bit of wiring to get some branches in place. the reason for sale is that it is just way to big for me.

it looks like there is four trunks but there is a trunk getting regrown as it wasnt in balance with the rest of the tree.
there is a lot of potential for a large tree here i just cant handle a tree of this size any more.

feel free to pm me an offer or any questions on the tree.

due to the large size of this tree freight would have to be organised at buyers cost, i can organise getting it to you, it will be boxed and put on a pallet to be sent if need be, other wise pick up is Hervey Bay QLD.

cheers and thanks for looking

jamie

edit- frieght cost would not be a massive amount i have sent gearboxes to locations around australia and it has been no more than $100 *for guide purposes*

Am I allowed to comment? Great stock! This tree has great potential in the right hands! I love the base of it and it will make a fine multi trunk bonsai!


Let me know if comments on the stock are not allowed - I will take it off!


Cheers,
Leigh.

its fine by me leigh any publicity is good publicity as far as i am concerned

Aparently good comments are ok but you are not allowed to say it is bad

Jamie..Looks like a good larger subject for someone,they're good to carve as well...I rekon good stock at that sort of price is a golden opportunity for a serious project tree...good luck....Dog.

yes they do have hard wood and this one has some great potential for carving, and yes it is a golden oppurtunity for the sizr of the tree.
it grows really quick foliage wiseso easy to make a canopy with it all.

jamie

bump,

would like this one moved, open to all offers that are genuine and reasonable.


jamie

updated pic aswell, shes boomin, its been in and out of bloom for the past 4 months, it doesnt seem to drain the tree either, i havent got a pic of it when it is in full bloom though.

like i said open to any offers, frieght wont be dear, i got prices the other week for a fifty kilo transmission, to melb was $70, adelaide $100, in QLD wouldnt be a great deal.


jamie

I'd love to take this off your hands Jamie, but don't have the funds at the moment

ok, prices have gone out the window on this, open to offers, and if so an auction, so be it, i would really like to get this away from me as everytime i look at it, it reminds me i cant have big trees any more..

Hi Jamie - is the Murraya Paniculata still for sale?

I will pay $220 plus freight to Melbourne if you can arrange.

I am a novice at this but will be guided by your advice.

Mark

SOLD

to mark, PM sent mate, will sort it all out

Hi Jamie, just a minor thing I wanted to mention here. I noticed how you also described the tree as a Mock Orange. Be aware that Mock Orange is a completely different species belonging to the Genus Philadelphus. (Eg) Philadelphus Virginiana. It is not related to the Murraya. Additionally, unlike Murraya, the Mock Orange is deciduous.

Murraya paniculata

Orange Jessamine Satinwood tree Mock Orange.

Common names are usually used in areas where there are lots of the trees or scrubs,they can also differ from suburb to suburb.

I was once corrected on the official common name of a plant. There are no official common names. The plant I was referring to is called a swamp paper bark.
If you have a look in John Wrigley and Murray Fagg book on Bottlebrushes Paperbarks & Tea trees.

There are a number of references to paperbarks, when you tell some one it is a Melaleuca there answer is OH a paperbark. Of the 250 plus Melaleucas only 48 are referred to as Paperbarks. So common names are a huge problem. Where possible they are best not used if you know the correct Botanical name.

Cheers Pup
