The 100 litre and 400 litre bags are advanced and specimen stock, and they are heavy, so plan a planting position and help to move the tree. The smaller pots suit patios and a first collector's planting. Our growers do not hold every size all year, so a size can show as on backorder at times. An order for a backorder size is confirmed with you before anything ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
