A NOTE TO POTENTIAL PURCHASERS

Most commercial seed collectors can specify the origin of the seed they supply. There is however no tree seed certification scheme operating in Australia, and it is recommended that the purchaser ascertain details of the seed origins before entering into any purchase agreement. The minimum details which might be expected are the precise locality of collection including latitude and longitude co-ordinates, altitude of the collecting site, year of harvesting and number of trees sampled.

Purchasers should not assume that the seed of eucalypts or other Australian genera will necessarily be supplied from trees growing in Australia. Seed from exotic plantations is now common in the seed trade. The listing of a supplier in this web-site does not imply endorsement by CSIRO or the Australian National Botanic Gardens.

Catalogues and price lists are available from most suppliers.
