Treefarm Destroyed!

On March 20,2006 severe Tropical Cyclone Larry (http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/qld/cyclone/tc_larry/) struck the wet Tropics area of north Queensland with windspeeds over 300 km/hr.

Most orchards, including that of Treefarm, were more or less destroyed.

That's why seeds haven't been available from the Borneo Collection since then.

Unfortunately, the trees that survived have been reluctant to fruit, so there haven't been seeds from these either. Hopefully next year will see some trees fruiting.

I know most of the seeds we normally sell aren't available elsewhere, so people around the world just haven't been able to enrich their collection or commercial orchard with the wonderful range of Borneo and other fruits.

I'm sorry about this situation.

Meanwhile, if you have a question about tropical fruits, feel free to ask and I or someone else will try to answer it. Use the blog or if emailing, put "info request" in the subject line.
