Tasmanian Laurel

Yes, Tim - I have 3 bushes, trees, of Anopterus glandulosus growing in
the shade of the bullnose verandah of the country house.  They are just
finishing their flowering period now.  I will be happy to send you some
seed, there is probably old ones still on the bushes.  But will have to
wait for fresher seeds.  I think that the usual method of reproduction
is  to grow from cuttings
It is called the Tasmanian Laurel tree here and is found in our damper
bush.  An immature plant will flower when only 12 inches high but in its
natural habitat the plant can reach tree proportions.  The racemes of
lily-in-the-valley like flowers show up quite dramatically against the
dark, toothed leathery leaves.  I believe there are only two species of
Anopterus.  The other is found in the east coast of Aussie subtropical
forests.  I have never seen this one
The trees I have are grown in a sheltered area.  We do get frosts in our
country garden but the verandah will be protecting their roots.  So, a
protected, humus rich soil in a cool temperate climate.   I have them
growing amongst manferns {Dicksonia}
What is the snail address?
