Why We Can't Ship Some Plants
Products restricted to shipping for biosecurity reasons
To protect our food crops, and for general biosecurity and plant health, all nurseries are restricted by state or federal government from moving certain plants across state borders. Individual states have quarantine restrictions for additional plants in place.
We can still send you most other plants. If you find difficulty in checking out your order, it might be that you have a prohibited plant for your state in your basket. Check this list here for guidance :SA, TAS, WA : Myrtaceae
