Hello Everyone Luke Brookes again time to sell off some seedlings.

Lucerne tree seedlings $2 each
P&H is now $20 any size order

Package sent express post only

Perfect tree for hedges animal food including chickens.

Great fire retardant tree used by farmers around here for generations to protect houses and sheds.

Bee keepers dream tree great habitat always green no matter the conditions and plenty of flowers for pollination makes yummy honey.

Very limited stock atm but more on the go as constant daily frosts 5 days in a row frozen leaves as late as 9am each morning caused me to have to start over.

As photos is what I have around 700 seedlings at a guess.

Many more thousands are started.

Been a while since I posted anything sorry about that the grow of my Lucerne trees has been slow and difficult due to multiple days of heavy frost I lost 95% of the seedlings and had to start over.

For those waiting they are coming along now and I'm hoping to sell some as Xmas gifts keep an eye out for my sales listing on marketplace and gumtree.

I'll have maybe 4000 to sell at $2 each bare rooted and $20 P&H as sent express or can be collected from Beaufort Victoria 3373

Hello all it’s that time again where I support Australian people and their animals as much as I possibly can through growing and selling drought tolerant legumes tagasaste Lucerne trees.

Still $2 each bare rooted (no pots included) and $16 P&H for any size order as sent express only.

1=$18
10=$36
100=$216
1000=$2016
Any size order is fine I’ve sold many 5 orders for $26

Ready approximately end of October.

I’d like to post out in bulk if possible so pre paid orders appreciated I’ve built a great reputation over the past 8 years selling and pre paid orders come with priority send off and a 10% extra seedlings bonus for orders 10 or more as your helping me grow them out and of cause a %100 money back if anything was to happen to the seedlings prior to postage.

I’m vision impaired so postage will only be on a Monday my shopping day in town as I cannot drive.

Your future is my number one concern as farmers around here and myself believe dry times are very near so I’ve grown a large number of trees and keeping my price low even in high inflation times.

A possible life long safe for anything to eat including humans this fodder tree is a huge asset to any property.

The farmer I lease this land off loves these trees and supports my endeavour he has them on the property for his sheep and has had through the past 3 droughts.

An ever green tree drinking from up to 10 meters deep saves on water as leaves help hydrate the animals.

Perfect for Bee and Bird habitat they create own ecosystem and they don’t burn easy so a great fire break wind break dust reduction wall and privacy security hedge.

Collection welcome also from Beaufort Vic 3373.
