| Forest Floor collects New Zealand native tree seed
from carefully selected seed
sources. Since we specialise in supplying local native
revegetation species we ecosource from a wide range of provenances. It
is not surprising that the seed we collect the most is Leptospermum
scoparium, currently stocking over 50 separate provenances. Email us with your requirements and we will reply with a quote. Top quality Viable seed Seed is available seasonally and is sent fresh or when ready to be sown, in order to achieve the best possible germination results. Some species are able to be stored. We collect from stands of trees that are well pollinated to ensure genetic diversity and vigour. Specialised processing and storage Some species have special requirements for processing and storage in order to increase germination percentage. We purify all seed batches to remove seed of poor viability (low seed weight for example) and thereby increase the percentage of good seeds. From the moment the seed is collected we look after it to exclude insects and fungi. Regular testing We sow samples of all seed collections in our nursery on a regular basis, both for our own supply, and to test for viability. Below are listed some of our most popular seeds.

Recommendation from a satisfied customer:
"....I am not
sure if you remember me but last year I bought
some kauri seeds from you.
It was the fourth time I tried
the kauri and the first
three times was unsuccessful. I planted your seeds in different types
of soil
mixtures and the result was a success.
Today I took some photos and
wanted to share them with
you. Thank you very much for these perfect seeds......"
