Polly do you have a commercial nursery or are you supplying for reveg?

I agree with you entirely about the lack of appreciation for our native flora, living at the Northern end of the Brigalow belt in the dry tropics the past 100yrs has seen our native flora ripped out and totally devalued, yet since coming here in 88' I have seen numerous examples of endemic native trees proving just why they should be planted more and more.

I posted a very small number of pics of some of my fav natives from round here, I have thousands of shots on disc and will get around to making a thread about native species generally one day soon. This thread was really about autumn colour but you get the idea http://www.treeworld.info/showthread...=6450#post6450
I would love to see some pics of SA natives and thoughts on their suitability, form etc for private or public land.
By the by the Liquid ambers that are so prevalent around Ekka's neck of the woods blew me away with their leaf colour last month, absolutely beautiful.
Just have to put it in for the colour...sorry
