Trees in the row at The Tree Co. Farm
For landscape architects and specifiers

Specify the tree. We find the size.

We sell in standard pot sizes and give the height in metres wherever we can. If your schedule calls for a specific height, tell us and we search it out in the rows.

Writing us into a schedule

Seven things worth knowing before you specify.

We grow every tree on the list at the farm near Brisbane, from seed to supply. That changes what you can write on a planting schedule and what you can rely on when the job is won.

  1. Pot size, height, or bothWrite the species, the botanical name and the pot size the schedule calls for, and the height if it matters to the job. We give heights wherever we can, and we search out specific heights when a schedule needs them.
  2. What to writeFor example: Lilly Pilly Resilience (Syzygium australe 'Resilience'), advanced stock, approx. 1.7m, The Tree Co. Farm. Every species page and spec sheet carries its own schedule line.
  3. Substitutions come from the growerIf a species or size is not on the list, we tell you what is coming through the nursery this season. Nothing is bought in from another nursery and nothing is swapped without telling you.
  4. Stock is held through tenderTrees are tagged for the job at no charge while the quote or tender is live.
  5. Long-lead projects are grown to orderStaged developments, street programmes and larger sizes are grown to your specification over 12 to 24 months, with photographs as they come on.
  6. An establishment sheet with every speciesSpacing, aspect, watering and staking notes for the person doing the planting, plus a six-month care calendar dated for the job.
  7. Delivered on our own trucksBooked for the day the crew is on site, with a photograph of the load before it leaves the farm.

Specifier questions

What architects ask us.

Can I specify a tree by height rather than pot size?

Yes, tell us the height. We sell in standard pot sizes and give heights in metres wherever we can. When a schedule calls for a specific height we search it out in the rows and confirm what we have before you tender.

What if the species I specified is not on the availability list?

Tell us. We will say what is coming through the nursery this season, or grow it to order. We do not substitute without telling you.

Can stock be held during a tender period?

Yes. Trees are tagged and set aside for the job at no charge while the quote or tender is live. For long tender periods, talk to us and we will agree a hold.

What is the lead time for grow to order?

Usually 12 to 24 months depending on species and finished height, with photographs through the grow-on period.

Do you supply planting and establishment notes?

Yes. Every species comes with spacing, aspect, watering and staking notes written for the person doing the planting, and a six-month care calendar dated for the job.

Where do you deliver?

On our own trucks across South East Queensland. Zone One is Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich, free on ten trees or more. Zone Two covers Lockyer, Somerset, Moreton Bay, Redland and the Gold Coast.

Open an account, then send us the planting schedule.

With an account open we price the schedule, hold the stock through tender, and grow to order what is not in the ground. Or send the schedule first and we come back with availability and what we would hold.
