Fever trees: Wanted

Post by chopper »

I'm looking for 3 young fever trees (ideally 1 to 2m tall) for SWAMBO - early Xmas gift :thumbup:
The Botanical Gardens used to sell indigenous trees and plants but not any more (could have been a once-off?)
Any help appreciated
Thank you

Jy sal maar by n kwekery moet gaan kyk, maar ek dink jy sal eerder regkom nader aan die Laeveld se kant by n kwekery daar. Maar dalk is jy gelukkig en kry iewers in PTA. Hoop jy kom reg

Most nurseries carry fever trees.

Hi Thinus,

yes, they are available at most nursery's but I also refuse to pay that much.

I am looking for about 50, if you find someone who is reasonable, please let us know

And these guys? ...... http://www.treeshop.co.za/pages/landscaping.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Otherwise get some seed and grow your own .... they don't take too long and are reasonably hardy / easy to grow. ;-)

I was thinking along the same lines :thumbup:
Also considered doing what Andy suggested but SWAMBO aint got time to wait that long for her fever trees :wth: :D: Managed to deal with all the outstanding issues/tasks around the house and in the garden - the only remaining issue is the fever trees :!:

Ek gaan Do biekie groot dorp (Nelspruit) toe, en Swamb's wil nursery-crawling doen- sal vir julle check.

(Dis 'n ongelooflike mooi boom, maar soos 'n Leopard Tree- mors woes- moenie hom naby 'n swemdam plant nie...)

Tinus, as dit eenigsins help, ek gaan in die week van die 5/12/2011 Nelspruit toe vir 'n dag, indien dinge uitwerk kan ek vir jou daar optel en terug bring :thumbup:

Mark, Hennie,
Baie dankie - groot waardering :thumbup:
As die boompies so 1,5m+ is, is dit 100% - ek sal hulle op steriods sit!
