This is the rare 5 corners (Fivie) fruit. Fivie plants are scarce in Sydney these days and the only nursery that sells them is us. This is because we put in many years of learning how to propagate them, then produced enough for our community and now they are for sale in our La Perouse nursery and our online shop at indigigrow.com.au These bush lollies are beautiful and sweet to eat and you can grow your own now. This opportunity never existed before IndigiGrow so pop in and grab some or buy online if you canโt make it to the nursery. Our old people tell great yarns about scrounging through the bush for Fivies when they were young. If you have any questions about where they grow, best growing conditions, do they handle frost etc could we please ask that you first look up the plant and ask the same questions in Google, you will more than likely get the answer much quicker than waiting for us, we are a very busy small team and can`t monitor the responses all the time but we want you to have the answers for your questions. We want to help as much as we can and will when we can if you are unsuccessful in finding what you need, but 90% of the questions we get asked on our posts can be answered quickly by Google. For this plant, Botanical name is Styphelia viridis and common name is 5 corners so this is your starting point, this will help us enormously.
We have a limited number of local Waratah plants in 140mm pots available today at our La Perouse nursery and at wholesale prices. Get in quick.

What an amazing day at Yabun yesterday. Such a huge crowd, there must have been half of Sydney there. Thank you to all who dropped by and supported us by buying our plants, we sold every plant we had. Yabun continues to get bigger every year.
We are all set to go at the Yabun Festival in Victoria Park, Broadway. Get on down and visit us and pick up some Bushfood plants. We have Lemon Myrtle, Fingerlimes, Saltbush, Native thyme, Native oregano, Native ginger, Atherton raspberries, and Midyim berries. We also have our range of packaged native herbs ready to cook with and our eco friendly native plant starter kits for those that want to have a crack at growing native plants. Pop in and say hello, weโd love to see you all. We are located right next to the swimming pool.
We will have loads of native Bushfood plants at Yabun tomorrow. We hope to see you all there.
A great finish to a massive week for us, our staff have propagated 15,000 cuttings this week of many beautiful Sydney coastal species. So many stunning local plants are going to be available this year. Not much room left in the greenhouse.
Our Scaevola ramosissima mother stock is absolutely cranking now and it wonโt be long until weโll start producing this magnificent local ground cover for sale. Just a stunning plant. Grows naturally along Sydneyโs coastline.
Our staff propergating critically endangered Eastern Suburbs Banksia Scrub cuttings
They did 55 trays which is 2850 tubes !

For the first time, we now have a limited amount of Micromyrtus blakelyi available in 140mm pots. A rare and threatened Sydney plant not found in nursery but is such a beautiful ground cover/low growing shrub. Stunning white and pink flowers, this is a must for your garden. You wonโt get it anywhere else.
This year has kicked off with a huge bang, 7000 cuttings of Sydney plant species propagated in the last week and another 6000 by the end of this week. We are going to be bringing many beautiful Sydney species to you this year, species you canโt get anywhere. So many beautiful plants coming, itโs going to be a huge year. 3000 tubes ready and waiting just for tomorrow morning.
Look at our stunning mother stock of the critically endangered Grevillea caleyi. They have grown so much in the last 6 months and are now at about 1.5m high. In about 12 months we begin scaling up our production of this beautiful Grevillea once the plants have doubled in size. With half a dozen mother plants, we churn out plenty for everyone.
Itโs going to be a massive year for Flannel flowers as weโve just tubed up 2700 with another 10,000 seedlings sprouting. Itโs going to be Flannel flower city at our La Perouse nursery in a couple of months.
Weโve got a huge clearance sale on advanced Cinnamon Myrtle and Aniseed Myrtle in 200mm pots. Popular Bushfood plants at an absolute steal. Pop into our La Perouse nursery and grab some while stocks last.
Epacris longiflora is such a beautiful local native plant. A very difficult plant to propagate means itโs very rarely available in nurseries. We have limited stock available in tubestock so hurry before they disappear. $5 each.
Chocolate Lily available at our La Perouse nursery or online at www.indigigrow.com.au

Loads of free plants outside our La Perouse nursery. Come and get them. Happy New Year
So excited this ground cover, Goodenia heterophylla (apologies about the weeds amongst it, weโve been short staffed the last 3 weeks). We havenโt released it yet but we are getting close as we have plenty of tubestock coming on and these mother stock gardens will ensure thousands are propagated in the not too distant future. What started with 4 cuttings from the wild 1 and a half years ago has not grown to 450 tubestock and another 250 can be propagated from these beds now. Itโs a stunning Sydney species rarely available in nurseries, in fact weโve not seen it available anywhere. This is the work we are most proud of, growing and making local native plants available that are not grown and sold by others, it brings more diversity into our gardens creating thriving habitat and draws wildlife and insects into our yards. We are working on plenty more other local Sydney species not currently available in nurseries. One in particular is Micromyrtus blakelyi which is a stunning ground cover and we canโt wait to make it available sometime this year.
Due to the extreme heat, weโve made the call to close the nursery tomorrow to keep everyone safe. Thanks so much for your understanding โ weโll be back to normal trading on Monday 12th January. Stay cool ๐
