Had a look at red dragon, he has some great stock there.

We weren't going to make it before he closed, so rang him on the way there and Chris was nice enough to stay open for an extra half hour for me :D

Great spot to stop if you're on the Coast - things seem to be bigger up there & there's a good variety of material. :)

Chris gets some of his stock from Ray so you may not need to drive as far as you think! :D

I'll be up again at the end of the year but it'll be pots only :cry: .....under strict instructions!!! :lol:

Yes Dayne, Chris has many good stock plants. I got my jup. there last month. It just that I don't know why the other guy flew all the way from Sydney to get stocks as Chris said he got most of his stock trees from Sydney :?:
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
