Species availability

• Some trees are very popular, or have limited availability, hence some trees are restricted to one (1) per eligible resident
• There are two types of plant packs available, each containing 10 labelled WA native waterwise plants.

1. Verge Pack: to be planted on your front verge or in your garden
2. Garden Pack: to be planted in your garden only (ie not suitable for verge planting)

• The specific varieties included in each pack cannot be pre-selected and will be chosen by the City to ensure species health and availability. Sample species include Beaufortia aestieva (Kalbarri Beaufortia), Anigozanthos flavidus (Tall Kangaroo Paw), and Guichenotia macrantha (Yanchep Bells).
• Packs cannot be changed once selected. Pack contents also cannot be changed or substituted.

Please note:  There is no species list for plant packs. The specific varieties included in each pack will be chosen by the City on the day of pick-up to ensure species health and availability.
