| Austree Australian Willow: Now being called the American Willow. All we can say is WOW Awesome Austree. Fasting growing tree in America. Our first one grew 8 feet per year for 3 years. It has slowed down some since we started using it to propagate hybrids. Austree Hybrid is the "result of 30 years of selective breeding" in New Zealand. These trees are used for "conservation, noise and dust barriers, shade trees, hedges, privacy screens, windbreaks and erosion control." They also note that "the hybrid vigor of this tree is substantial." My research indicates that the Austree is a cross between Hankow or Pekin willow (Salix matsudana) and white willow (Salix alba). The white willow is native to North America and the Hankow willow is native to China and Korea. Usually when plant breeders create a hybrid it's to combine the best characteristics of each parent. Hybrids also result in a seedless specimen, therefore the tree can only be reproduced through careful stem cuttings and propagation. Austree Awesome Australian Tree-fastest growing tree in America Did we tell you This is the "fastest growing tree in America". |
| Do you want a tree that will/is: * Fast Growing (3-6 feet a year) * Versatile * Hardy * Instant Shade * Thrives in almost any soil * Very Adaptable Tree * Will grow in every U.S. State Common to Zones 3-8. Found growing in Florida to Canada * Wind and soil erosion protection * Save on your heating costs for your home by blocking the winds. * Save on your cooling costs for your home by providing shade. * Block out Nosey or Noisy neighbors with a living inexpensive fence The Austrees are extremely hardy and will grow under almost any condition. To get them to grow very fast, you need give them plenty of water. They will tolerate partial shade and if you don't give them plenty of water they will still grow a couple feet a year. |

| In the 1970’s, the AUSTREE (originated in Australia) was cultivated as a hybrid between white willow and Salix matsudana, resulting in a male Hybrid: Salix matsudana x Alba. Austrees were developed by a Govt. Dept. in Australia to find a solution for shelter belts, landscaping, erosion, salinity control, pulp and firewood production, etc. And it was accomplished They were then imported by a New Zealand farmer’s as a wind break to protect orchards. They were only introduced into San Francisco USA in the mid 1980’s for the same purpose and then also later used throughout California as fire breaks. Many Midwest farmers started growing them to use as windbreaks around apple orchards to replace the old Poplar trees. Livestock farmers are now using them as an odor break on their farms. For Years these were Patented and hard to find and very expensive. |

| I brought a small twig with me when I moved from California to Missouri. I had to keep it potted for a couple of years, so it stayed small. I planted one AUSTREE when I moved into my new house 4 years ago. When I planted it in the ground it took off like crazy, it was only about a foot tall it now rises above my home and is nearly 35 feet tall with weeping branches that are nearly 4-5 feet long. We now have several growing on the property. The Austrees are the first to leaf out in the spring and one of the last trees to loose their leaves. A Nice ornamental. As with most willow Trees never plant them near water or sewer lines. Once established, they will grow fine through a drought year like the one we had here in Missouri last year (2007). If you want to make your windbreaks or hedges thicker, give your trees a good pruning, it won’t hurt them. Never prune more than 1/3 of the growth. You can prune this variety anytime of the year. |
| The Austree has leaves very simular to the weeping willow but this one does not weep, it grows straight up in a hurry and gently weeps as the limbs grow larger. Need something that will grow FAST to block out those noisy neighbors? Need to block a large area in a hurry? YOU NEED AN Austree!! This Willow grows up to 6+ ft. per year – filling out to create a luscious green wall. Excellent privacy screen. It also makes an effective wind barrier, noise barrier and a quick, inexpensive fence. Mature Height: 35-45 ft & Width: 5-6 ft planted in rows 5 feet apart. 50-75 ft & Width: 20-30 ft planted as a single specimen. These will live up to 70 or more years. The growth rate slows down at about age 10, like most trees. |

NOW finally they are available as a living fence or single specimen for home owners.

| of water and sun. The ideal conditions are a loose soil. They will grow in heavy clay or rocky soil types, but the growth rate will be slower. So it is best to amend the soil before planting any tree, if your soil conditions are poor. Good for Pulp and timber productions and capable of fast regeneration without replanting. The very flexible branches are used in furniture making, many craft projects and basket weaving. The young branches can even be braided to make a wreath. Fast forest to generate good Ol’ firewood. You are only limited by your imagination. You will receive well-rooted tree, started from good sized stem propagation. Cold hardy to zone 3/5 (-25 degrees F) Planting instructions are posted at our website, so that you can start making preparations for planting while you are waiting for your tree to arrive. Sorry, No shipping to California or outside the Continental US. |

| We realize that rising shipping costs are an issue as of May 15 2008 USPS raised their rates. In June we were notified that there are additional $1.00 Fuels surcharges being added to some packages. It seems everyone is adding the "Fuel Surcharges" We hope this is because it is a temporary charge. We are sorry to have to impose these extra charges onto our customers We are doing the best we can to hold down costs of shipping. Our best solution at this point is to send "Bare rooted" trees. (trees with no soil cuts down the weight. They are packed in moisture gel and shipped with the same methods used by the National Arbor Day Foundation. When requesting a quote make sure to include your ZIP CODE so we can get the best possible shipping rate for your area. |
