Ordering & Dispatch

We sell our products by both mail order and at our farm nursery at Beaufort, Victoria.

MAIL ORDER RANGE

• Trees

Our mail order range are 1 year old grafted trees, generally called ‘whips’ in the industry. This is because they are normally simply a single stem. We send by Australia Post in secure cardboard tubes which helps ensure trees arrive undamaged. The maximum dimension allowed by Australia Post is 105 cm. Trees longer than this are cut to length. Trees may be shorter than this, from approx. 60 cm long, depending on variety and rootstock. We find the length of a whip does not affect the rate of growth in subsequent years and healthy young trees will reach their potential as long as conditions and maintenance are appropriate. We only dispatch trees we are satisfied are healthy.

• Raspberry Canes

Canes are around 45 cm in length and like our trees, are dispatched bare-rooted during July and August in secure cardboard tubes.

• Blueberries

Blueberries are dispatched with roots still in soil.

• Books and Plant Protection Products

Available for immediate dispatch subject to availability. Prices of individual items include postage.

DISPATCH

Trees are only dispatched after cheques have cleared or funds have reached our account. Bare-root trees are sent by Australia Post during late July and August. While dormant bare-root plants can survive in the packaging for more than a week, the sooner they are unpacked and healed-in* after their arrival the better. Keep packaged trees out of direct sun in the meantime. We notify customers by email when their order is dispatched.
*roots covered with soil or mulch to keep them moist

NURSERY RANGE

Our Nursery Range includes larger sized and older fruit trees, both potted and bare-rooted (in season). If you wish  to place an order for a Nursery item please email your order. We are happy to hold orders of nursery stock for a maximum of 7 days.
