| Profile | We are a small propagation and retail Australian Plant Nursery. Our special interest is in indigenous plants including grasses, ground cover and understorey. We believe in rehabilitation and/or re-introduction of understorey plantings to promote the health of Australian tree species for hardwood production. This eliminates (or reduces) many of the problems inherent in mono-culture plantings. We will collect material (indigenous to the area of a plantation) and contract grow understorey, ground covers and grasses for planting by others. We do not contract plantings, only supply. |
| Speciality | Indigenous plant contract suppliers. Lead times range from 8 mths – 18 mths depending on species and time of ordering. We do not hold large stocks on spec and require firm advance orders. |

| Profile | The Southern Tree Breeding Association (STBA) is a non-profit organisation established by its Members to improve the genetic quality of commercially grown forest plantations. Tree improvement provides significant benefits with the genetic material enhancing the returns available by increasing the quantity, quality and disease resistance traits of trees. The STBA cooperative offers a cost effective solution to access improved genetic material. In addition as a member, immediate access is provided to the latest genetic material, representing up to 60 years prior effort in improvement. Members across Southern Australia (WA to TAS) provide resources to the STBA to produce improved Pine and Blue Bum trees for deployment. Programs are segregated to cater for the individual needs of each member and include both breeding and seed production. Tests on over 500,000 trees around Australia, provide confidence that predicted gains of STBA elite material will be realised in Australian conditions. Collaboration with research bodies, and international links enable the STBA to remain at the leading edge of tree improvement. Members benefit through knowledge transfer of improved practices in addition to elite material. Multiple sites across Australia provide some protection against natural events ensuring a reduced risk for both breeding and seed production. The structure of the Association ensures technical excellence as well as scrutiny by industry partners and the scientific community. This ensures that the programs, are robust and successful. STBA is a registered research agency, with potential taxation benefits for members. A research program is supported to ensure that the Association remains at the leading edge in its core business.Breeding programs for commercial forestry plantation species, including advanced genetic analysis services, progeny trial establishment and management. Seed production for Association members is also an important part of our business. |
