    I smoke my trees

    • dust on 03/11/2021 - 20:27

      Got any seeds?

  • Sweet3st on 03/11/2021 - 19:40

    I’ve been trying all day to claim this! Serious web issues at ServiceNSW 😒 Good luck!

    • impoze on 03/11/2021 - 19:43

      yeah, gives me a PEGA page when trying to log in

    • colaman on 03/11/2021 - 20:17

      Wasn't working for me earlier today but just claimed mine now no issues.

          Yep, I went the naval.

    • Oxygenzero on 04/11/2021 - 05:21

      There was the chance to claim up to 3 trees back in May,

  • HairyChickens on 03/11/2021 - 19:40

    Lorax approves

    • HairyChickens on 03/11/2021 - 19:43

        That’s so unfair that some people get through and others don’t. What a complete stuff up!

          Honestly, what do you expect with government websites.

          • [Deactivated] on 04/11/2021 - 08:55

            @HairyChickens: Not much. Most devs I knew that went to work for the government after uni back in the day were the one's that consistently kept failing units or paying people to do their assignments for them. The few that were actually good at what they do left after a short while.

          Life is unfair, move on with your life. Get a grip, we’re talking about tree seeds ffs. I remember when the people on this site were grown ups.

          • Sweet3st on 03/11/2021 - 22:30

            @kiriakoz: They are small trees not seeds, and I have been on the waiting list for months.

        • lonewolf on 04/11/2021 - 10:32

          well if it hadnt been posted on here…. I received the email for it directly from them as i had registered for it ages ago. But its already out of stock now thanks to it being posted on here being ozbargained. Screws up the people who had registered for it previously and had been waiting several months.

  • kampret on 03/11/2021 - 19:48

      Yep, claimed 1 back in 2020, same deal and same process. Took ages to get the plant/tree though.

  • Ma77mc on 03/11/2021 - 20:16

    The Hills shire also have a regular program giving away native trees, we have got them a few times over the years.

    • Tenebrae on 03/11/2021 - 22:57

      Same at Blacktown City, have been able to claim 2 plants per address for years. Can also claim additional plants at local events (e.g. Woodcroft Festival).

    • BarrytheBargain on 03/11/2021 - 21:02

      • Royale with cheese on 03/11/2021 - 22:03

          Thanks. Using laptop now, and stuck at "Select tree(s)". There's one/three dropdown(s), but they have no options in the list

    My address doesn't appear despite being in an eligible LGA. Another genius move NSW government!

  • hippyhippy on 03/11/2021 - 20:23

    I can't even log in

  • Scorn on 03/11/2021 - 20:31

    Oh Cool so Central Coast should be included as we are part of greater Sydney for Covid Restrictions…. Oh whats that? Oh Central Coast isn't included for free trees though, just for Covid restrictions…

  • kiriakoz on 03/11/2021 - 20:33

    Do you think there’s a small tree I can put in my apartment balcony?

      would like to know too +1

    • Tenebrae on 03/11/2021 - 22:58

      Depending on the conditions of your balcony (e.g. which direction it faces, how much sun it gets) you may be able to keep one of the trees in a big pot, but it would require more ongoing care than in the ground.

    Site not working - nothing but space error

  • JDMcarfan on 03/11/2021 - 20:41

    did anyone get anything besides the Orange Valencia for the fruit tree options?

    • fvalemus on 03/11/2021 - 21:14

      How to select fruit tree? I got all shrubs… :(

      • JDMcarfan on 03/11/2021 - 21:41

        you have to select the one tree option. or otherwise maybe its all gone

    • bni on 04/11/2021 - 06:42

      I got an imperial mandarin at 14:50. But didn't see this deal on Ozb till now.

  • mdavant on 03/11/2021 - 20:55

    What! No Wollongong or Central Coast?

  • Yabadabadoo on 03/11/2021 - 21:04
    +5

    Theres a option to pick one or three trees, selecting one give you a list with no trees in it so only option is three where you can only get a bottle brush or tea tree. Anyone else get this?

    • Stickout on 03/11/2021 - 21:30

      Lucky you, you still have tea trees, my selection are bottle brush as far as the eyes can see.

      • oadvdotcom on 04/11/2021 - 08:31

        bottle brush got toxic? tea tree can make some tea tree oil?

  • berko_max on 03/11/2021 - 21:05
    +1

    cant select 1 tree, has 2 be 3, and they are shrubs. Better then noting though

    • Royale with cheese on 03/11/2021 - 22:01

      Is there a time frame before you qualify for the next give away? Maybe it could be worth waiting if that's the case

  • googoogaga on 03/11/2021 - 21:25
    +2

    my choices were ;
    -kings park bottlebrush
    -hannah ray bottlebrush

    is that the same for everyone else?

    • Heybargain on 03/11/2021 - 21:29

      Looks like that’s all that’s left
      Earlier on there were more choices

    • strawberrybug on 03/11/2021 - 21:29

      Yep thats what i saw too

    • deepakk on 03/11/2021 - 21:39

      Getting the same for Blacktown LGA.

    • drhip on 03/11/2021 - 21:45

      That's what I got too. Better than nothing. We love trees dont we ;)

  • kley78 on 03/11/2021 - 21:37

    same. was hoping to get a mandarin or an orange tree but bad luck..

  • Royale with cheese on 03/11/2021 - 21:51

    I feel lucky to secure an orange tree as my friend tried to select and he couldn't. Fingers crossed

  • itonez on 03/11/2021 - 22:07

    all gone. Theres nothing to select

  • dust on 03/11/2021 - 22:11

    Yep looks like it's all over.

  • sunnyc on 03/11/2021 - 22:15

    hopefully someone message me tomorrow that its back in stock, becareful of stink bugs.

  • slick7 on 03/11/2021 - 22:32

    My 2020 lemon tree is doing really well in a massive pot. Was hoping for a bottle brush tree or similar small native for the front garden this time around since there's one already but looking like it needs company :)

    Too bad it seems all used up for now (ozbargained again like 2020 when I last did this and Bunnings took many many weeks to get stock)

    • JungliChilli on 04/11/2021 - 16:39

      Out of curiosity how wide/tall is the pot?
      Our lemon tree that was planted in ground dried out somehow and I'd like to get a new one but this time planted in a pot.

      • slick7 on 06/11/2021 - 23:41
        +1

        Just over 45cm tall/wide and made out of concrete - someone gave me this pot free of charge. I didn't like the look of it but I don't have anything else this size I thought it would break me when I had to move house recently - SO HEAVY

        I've had a bad experience with a previous lemon tree in a pot and this time I bought the highest quality potting mix I could find and I regularly water and alternate seaweed, charlie carp, bokashi compost juice and also add some citrus fertiliser every 6 months.

        I'd probably go slightly larger and plastic next time because I'd want to move it without needing help :)

    All gone already far out

  • dammit on 04/11/2021 - 08:02

    Application form still works, but then when you get through to selecting which tree you want, the list is blank

  • hellyes on 04/11/2021 - 09:00

    I'm still waiting for the ones I successfully claimed in June. Last update was over a week ago saying 'nearly ready'. No idea where I'm going to put them now as gave up during lockdown.

  • ldt on 04/11/2021 - 12:29

    Still waiting for my email Bunnings from last time!

  • RogerLoger on 06/11/2021 - 10:59

    Still waiting to see the free tree service to add to my services! Not that I care much. We live in a BAL FZ house and the choices either contain highly votatile oils (burn like crazy) or are fruit trees that require more sun than we can give and care than we are willing to give.
