How to get a grass tree
Replants salvage grass trees and macrozamias from bushland development sites that would otherwise be destroyed.
Please call 040 888 5435 to discuss your requirements. We can then assist in determining whether delivery and or installation or pickup from site is best suited to your situation. Grass trees and macrozamias from our salvage sites are planted using our direct transplantation method. This method produces very high survival rates (80%) and has been used over the past 25 years to transplant thousands of grass trees into residential gardens and commercial landscape projects.
Replants grass trees are available in a variety of sizes from small (no trunk) specimens to large 4m multi trunk specimens. When selecting a grass tree please bear in mind they are very slow growing (12mm trunk growth per yr), so select a tree which is appropriate for the space now.
If you are unsure about selecting the appropriate size or shape grass tree for your garden, we suggest you discuss your design requirements with our staff. Sending us a photo or plan of the space is really helpful in getting a great result.
Below are four different ways to getting a grass tree. Select an option which best suits your requirements and follow the prompts.
