      • Sheng on 12/05/2022 - 15:41

        I collected a mandy and lemon last week for me and my sister.

    • R.R.P on 14/05/2022 - 00:06

      Picked up mine yesterday

  • peppet on 12/05/2022 - 15:52

    My address drop down doesn't populate on any browser :(

    • Oxygenzero on 12/05/2022 - 16:22

      Try from chrome, unit space number space address,

    • seraphim2017 on 13/05/2022 - 00:18

      Mine did that, had to wait until system sorted itself out. It worked eventually and put the dwarf mandarin in the garden last weekend.

      • peppet on 13/05/2022 - 08:50

        It's working now :)

  • graceyym on 12/05/2022 - 15:53

    Whenever I log into MyService it takes me to a Case Worker page & I cant get any plants..

    • tharlow on 12/05/2022 - 16:57

      See your Case Worker first. Then, just maybe, they’ll trust you to water a plant

      Try clicking on New (top left) then Free Tree Application.

        Perfect, worked well!

  • heal on 12/05/2022 - 15:54

    Newcastle and Wollongong no longer part of NSW? I realise the rest of us plebs in the bush aren't really part of NSW but this is getting ridiculous.

    • Steptoe on 13/05/2022 - 18:33

      Only for lockdowns

  • souths123 on 12/05/2022 - 15:56

    last year couldn't get from Penrith either as had to collect from a central location which was too far away to bother. Was able to this year.

  • Archi on 12/05/2022 - 16:08

    no fruit trees this time..

    i only picked up my Tahitian lime today from 3 months ago.

  • Mr Idiom on 12/05/2022 - 16:16

    Last time was a massive PITA for no success. Not bothering to even try this time with no fruit trees on offer.

    • DarkOz on 12/05/2022 - 16:45

      Blueberry Ash fruits edible, right?

      • MrThing on 13/05/2022 - 01:19
        +1

        No, but they have a nice flower

    • CyberMurning on 12/05/2022 - 17:06

      yes i want fruit not bush!

      • Littlevu on 12/05/2022 - 17:33
        +2

        I hear some bushes may be edible

    • Gladioli on 13/05/2022 - 17:49

      Syzygium (lilly pilly) are edible, australe being generally better than smithii imho. Obviously not a fruit like mandarin, but fun for kids and if you're committed you can make a decent jam or similar.

  • Charbel91 on 12/05/2022 - 17:05

    Nothing but space.

    This is the third time now (ب_ب)

    Hmmmm that website is still sh!te

  • Best Deal Hunter on 12/05/2022 - 17:26

    Complete waste of time filling in the form, applied last year and again this year, not a word from them. Should have known the website a complete shambles anyway. Bought one from Aldi's recent $19.99 cirtrus sale, plant doing well and even flowering now.

  • hippyhippy on 12/05/2022 - 18:03

    I haven't even got my tree from last one

  • Fordog on 12/05/2022 - 18:08

    To the people commenting that they haven't received theirs from the last one, I got an email yesterday saying mine is ready to pickup now, so looks like they're finally starting to fill the orders.

    • clintdb on 12/05/2022 - 18:36

      I got my email yesterday also (from the March offering). 7 days to pick it up otherwise they donate it to a school or some such.

      • prankster on 12/05/2022 - 23:08

        Yeah I just got mine recently, my local Bunnings held it for about 2 weeks and also called me up to follow up why I haven’t picked it up lol

  • zz876 on 12/05/2022 - 19:04

    I have received text message from Seven hill Bunnings tree is ready for pickup, but I am far to there, Why is seven hill only?

    • tharlow on 12/05/2022 - 19:15

      It’s the only place above water

    • ZilogX on 12/05/2022 - 21:29

      Because there are only seven hills left, you want the Double bay tree Bunnings.

  • Dealmazarati on 12/05/2022 - 21:47

    No fruit trees :(

    • prankster on 12/05/2022 - 23:15

      I couldn’t get the fruit trees last time, sadly it gave you a selection based on your address so I heard all the Asians in chatswood had access to the fruit trees bloody oath lol

      • Sheng on 12/05/2022 - 23:25
        -3

        False. Collected at Penrith and North Parramatta. Probably OOS by your claim as it depends on nursey.

    • deeevan on 13/05/2022 - 07:43

      I'm the opposite. I started an application when fruit trees were available but abandoned it until something I wanted came up. Just ordered now.

      On mobile Chrome, I did the usual type address, wait, wait, wait, type one more letter, wait, wait, wait. I finally gave up and switched to desktop Chrome, wow it worked like a regular address lookup and returned a result straight away!

      • clintdb on 13/05/2022 - 09:00

        I think it's just the timing of when you do it.
        Last time I was using desktop Chrome and had the wait,wait,wait experience that it sounds like you did on your mobile.

    • lonewolf on 13/05/2022 - 11:35

      I am not seeing any fruit tree options either.

  • MrThing on 13/05/2022 - 01:18

    Im still waiting for my april trees…

  • lonewolf on 13/05/2022 - 11:26

    I still havent got my trees yet either. Strange. Are we able to order these if we still havent received the others?

  • djprima on 13/05/2022 - 13:44

    For those not receiving the trees, try to rock up to your bunnings and check the status with their special order team

    I was browsing at my local and just happen to saw trees with my name just sitting in the corner, maybe for weeks already. No emails no calls

    • Sheng on 13/05/2022 - 14:12
      +1

      That might be a good idea. When I collect there was easily over 25+ samplings

  • lonewolf on 02/06/2022 - 14:20

    Yup. I came on here to say the same thing, So i finally got an email to pick up my tree and my parents had an order for their house which was under my name too. So i rock up, the person says Oh that was months ago, it should all be finished, I said I only got an email 5 days ago, anyway after a bit of back and forth, she found out where it was and told me to go to the garden area to pick it up. When i went there, the person had been told i was coming to get my tree, she had one out for me and i said. hang on on this trolley i can see the trees with my names on it. And sure enough there were 2 trees with my names on it, even though my parents havent got an email for their tree, there it was waiting for them. I also noticed some of them had their leaves etc all eaten. There were like another 20-30 trees in that section still waiting to be picked up.

    I think they have forgotten or havent gotten around to send off the emails to tell people to come and get it .

  • Taegukgi on 09/06/2022 - 12:33

    This offer is available again.

  • peppet on 14/06/2022 - 15:26

    Just picked up my SAN01s freshly watered! Thanks OP!
