Bring the beauty of the rainforest into your own space with the Australian Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) - a magnificent tree that can reach up to 60 meters in height in ideal conditions. With its unique buttress roots, this tree is a true work of nature. In late spring, the Red Cedar puts on a stunning display with its white-soft pink flowers, which are sure to captivate. After blooming, the tree produces seeds in a woody capsule that splits into five valves. The leaves of the Red Cedar are 15–45cm long and pinnate with 6 pairs of leaflets, changing from bronze to reddish-pink hue as they grow back each spring after falling in autumn.

Bring home the Red Cedar tree and help this magnificent rainforest species thrive!

HISTORY: The arrival of Europeans in Australia had a devastating impact on the rainforests, including the highly sought-after Red Cedar, also known as "Red Gold." Despite restrictions imposed in 1802, the Red Cedar was decimated and became commercially extinct by the early 20th century. By bringing home a Red Cedar tree,  you can help this magnificent species thrive in your own space while also supporting its restoration in the wild.

Our young plants come in larger pots than our competitor's little tube-stock pots. We use larger pots to increase root size and mass. This ensures that our plants are healthy, strong, and robust for the trip to their new home!

What do I do when I receive my plants?
- Your plants are packed in a way to last the journey. All you will need to do when they arrive is to give them a heavy watering and place them in a part shade position for 10 days. They will recover from the trip quite quickly, give them a bit of extra care until they are strong again. Don't be alarmed if there is leaf loss, they will recover.

 Why do people buy from us?
- We always provide healthy plants and seeds
- FREE Shipping (no hidden charges on checkout)
- Australian-run and owned business
- 100% true-to-type plants and trees guaranteed! (don't become one of the horror stories! - we have strict control systems in place to eliminate this problem)
