Extra-large plants can give an instant look of maturity to a landscape. This may be advantageous if you're selling your home soon, justifying the extra cost of using advanced plants. Another useful application is in providing instant hedges and screens. Otherwise, you may have to live with an unsightly view or lack of privacy for years.

Specialist nurseries & landscape professionals should know how to grow and plant advanced trees with a view to the long term health of the mature tree and the safety of people & property in the area. For example, containerised trees which are tall only because they have spent too long in regular pots may have developed permanent root problems. This means they may perform poorly after planting or could become dangerous !

This page is intended to let Queensland residents know where to buy advanced plant stock in Qld or services related to the relocation of mature living trees, as well as provide related background information.
