Seeds of some species, including Eucalypts and Angophoras are supplied in the natural state, which includes a proportion of “chaff” (undeveloped seed). However, as required for automatic sowing equipment, seeds of many Eucalytus species can be supplied in pure form subject to the quantity required permitting economic processing. Please enquire regarding prices and availability of this service.

Seed of native grasses is usually supplied in the floret form, except where availability of pure seed is indicated.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Seeds are supplied for propagation only, and should not be used for consumption by humans or livestock. Propagation is subject to many variables over which we have no control and therefore productiveness cannot be guaranteed. In most cases seeds are collected from natural stands and characteristics can vary because of genetic variability. Impurities may exist in seed supplied, depending upon the practicability of their separation and removal. In all cases, and in any event, our total responsibility is limited to the invoiced value of the seeds supplied, which at our option we may replace with seeds of the same description, or may refund the cost. In no event will we be liable for any special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages or exemplary or punitive damage to persons or property.
