    Only 1000 total? Brisbane residents get two native trees free, for each paid rates notice, each and every year!

      And the average wage in Sydney in 15% higher than in Brisbane. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?coun…

      So do you want free trees or more money?

      Or more realistically, these are two totally different cities that can't be compared. Apple trees vs orange trees, if you like.

          27% more douchebags in Sydney, and statistically less likely to win an Origin series. I'll stick to Brisbane thanks ✌🏻️

          @Sir Casm: Got to let you lot have something, so NRL fixes matches to give you reason to follow, rather than follow aerial ping pong.
          More the fool for not recognising as such!

      • cDNA on 12/03/2016 - 10:18

        We also have far more wealthier people in Sydney. The difference is greater than a million.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/03/2016 - 15:34

        To be fair I think house price in Sydney is like what… 30% more than Brisbane?

      Is there any place left in Sydney to grow a tree?

    • pebee47 on 12/03/2016 - 12:21

      No, it applies to people who have a bit of paper that says they live in Sydney. The place they sleep at is probably Palm Beach or another paradise.

    Does it come with broken pipes and a bird that declaims every morning that its 5 oclock

      More seriously they good for bushfire seasons, and if you want one collapsing on your home during storms

    • pebee47 on 12/03/2016 - 12:24

      No, but probably with lots of duco eating sap dripping onto car bonnets next to the bird poo also from the nest in the tree

  • bym on 12/02/2016 - 18:44

    Used up all of my negs today on the weirdo's salivating over shock horror… a fully clothed female human (ya know, another person, just like you, not an object for consumption by you) in an advertisement for trees… is everyone on OzB a basement loser with a sock out?

  • shmahoo on 26/02/2016 - 14:21

    I don't want the whole tree, just a root.

  • cDNA on 12/03/2016 - 10:20

    Lame…
    why no love for the eastern suburbs?

    Most of the people who live in those areas don't care about trees. They live in terraces, apartments and units. lol

  • edfoo on 12/03/2016 - 10:37

    Good to see you are recycling this post. More friendly to the environment :P

  • constantly L8 on 12/03/2016 - 11:02

    People of ozbargain who are considering to come… DON'T
    the line is at least an hour long in the sun
    I'm waiting in line and about half way through, I'm pretty sure my neck is sun burnt :/
    Wish I had a tree for shade :p

    • FirstNameLastName on 12/03/2016 - 12:06

      that's pretty crazy.
      they should have planted trees along the queuing area.

      probably not worth the effort.
      i mean, i assume we are talking about 140mm pots.. perhaps $7-10 value each.
      add costs for fuel.

      also, sometimes watering/maintenance costs can mean you are better off paying for something healthier/bigger.

  • raj76 on 12/03/2016 - 11:05

    Is anything available to Victorians

    • FirstNameLastName on 12/03/2016 - 12:09

      google your local council + "free trees"

  • pebee47 on 12/03/2016 - 12:09

    Will they ship to WA?

    • FirstNameLastName on 12/03/2016 - 12:11

      yeah WA needs to get planting now so there is more coal in 10million years.

        Good point. I'll start to think about it - next year. (Too busy cutting firewood for winter right now)
