Bush regeneration native nursery

Protecting, promoting and enhancing local native vegetation and supporting people with a passion for plants

In 1989, a small group of like-minded people gathered at a public meeting with the simple goal to plant more trees in Newcastle. The group agreed to focus on native plants.

Before long they decided to grow local native plants collected from local seed. They saw themselves as pioneers and called the group Trees In Newcastle (friends call us TIN).

Podocarpus elatus, The Plum Pine πŸ‘Bush tucker, street tree, rainforest tree, or neat hedge...this tree has it all! This unusual conifer like tree is usually found in littoral, dry, and sub-tropical rainforests. In its natural habitat, it can potentially grow up to 30 metres. However, in cultivation, it usually grows to 15 metres. This is a hardy species that can be clipped into a hedge, grown in a pot, or if you have the space, plant it in the ground! The juicy fruits are described to have a grape like taste with hints of pine and can be eaten raw or cooked - added to sauces, marinades, jams, or even muffins 🧁We will have this species, plus many more available tomorrow and every other Friday, from 9am - 1pm Hope to see you there 🌱 Photo credit resources.austplants.com.au/plant/podocarpus-elatus/ ...
