Tagasastie Trees

[Shirley Greatorex]

:) Hey out there! I have been busy collecting about 2-3 thousand seeds and was wondering if anyone has experience in growing these? I have a hothouse and was thinking of putting some in tubes during the autumn. I live in Gippsland which has a fairly mild climate but can get hot in summer. Also is anyone familiar with an innoculant? When I have grown these on a small scale in the past I have found that boiling the seed for a couple of minutes is successful. Would appreciate any suggestions! Many Thanks!!!

Hi Shirley, happy to see you here.

I guess your original search of the 'archives' may not have borne much fruit for you as most people spell it Tagasaste. I have done a quick search for you and found a multitude of threads about Tagasaste. Here are some, but the list is extensive so you may like to do a another search for yourself...
