I sent seeds to Germany and they did not arrive. I sent another envelope and the seeds did arrive but I also agree with Worth and the problems in Australia is the same worldwide.

In Michigan we have a buckthorn problem. A non native plant, and its everywhere killing everything in its path including our native trees (in the seedling stage). Buckthorn is the first plant to leaf out in the spring and the LAST plant to loose its leaves in the fall. A toxic million berries per plant breeding machine. Since this plant is the first to leaf out in the spring it is killing all the native wildflowers in the forest, its a mess.

We now have a small group of people who are friends of the rough river and each spring we hand dig the buckthorn just to save the wirdflowers. Its a loosing battle.
