Moreton Bay Chestnut starting to sprout

I love these guys. Grab a few fallen seeds from a local park, take them home and watch them sprout.

How far south can they grow?

They are native to south east Queensland mainly but they can grow as far south as Lismore apparently.

They will grow into quite a big tree if you let them. Best to keep them in a pot.

Edit: according to the link posted above, they can be grown as far south as Melbourne.

Ha ha, I will definitely be keeping them in pots so they don't take over.
