It is highly recommended to consult with your local community nurseries well before you start planting.
Local community nurseries can provide you with all the information you require, they can also grow to order and they sell trees that are suitable to your area.
If you are an organisation and want to order a large amount of seedlings, the local nurseries must be notified well ahead of time as the majority of their orders are grown to order.
