What each origin supplies
The Queensland farm is where the Australian material is grown in ground, which is why Australian native trees and Australian native shrubs carry the shortest preparation windows in the catalogue: the stock is already ours, already in the right soil, and already inside an Export Registered Establishment. The habitat selections in bird attracting native plants come from the same ground.
The Guangdong and Ratchaburi production capability is what makes the tropical and interior ranges possible at volume, including indoor plants for interior landscaping and the mass planting layer in ground cover plants. Where a programme is large enough that no third party nursery can absorb it, the answer is usually to build one, which is the subject of designing a project nursery.
