Tree FarmIn May 2001, Stockade Nursery purchased the (related) business of Buthurra Tropical Trees Pty Ltd, based on an 80 hectare property in Mackay, Central Queensland and assimilated it into the mother company. This acquisition provides Stockade Nursery with a strong presence in the super-advanced in-ground tree market, and we can now provide a complete size range of plant material to the landscape market.

The first nursery pad was constructed at Buthurra in December 2001 which gave us some space to produce 1,500 by 45 litre bag-stock in the slightly warmer climate and a springboard to service the North Queensland market with bag-stock as well as ex-ground trees. Today we have 5 pads completed enabling us a 7,000 container stock capacity.

There is sufficient room for further expansion of our facilities and production capacity for the next few years. We have

completed construction of a shade house for the production of

our tropical range - the first of many.

Never lift or carry the tree by the trunkWhen unloading or moving a tree, care must be taken to prevent serious damage. Use an appropriate wide sling under the basket to carry the weight of the tree. Use the lifting eyes on the basket to adjust the root ball to the final position once the root ball has been lowered into the ground. The addition of a ‘choker’ around the trunk restricts the tree wanting to tilt. Use the assistance of another person to prevent swing.

When planting a tree, the root ball must be left above the original ground level to allow for settling. The strapping and hessian is to be

removed from around the trunk. The top ring of the basket may be cut off below ground level, leaving the rest of

the basket in the ground.

Don’t forget to back fill properly and guy the tree to support if necessary, to assist its establishment.
