Historical information

Wombat Gully Nursery (also known as Chris and Marie's Plant Farm) catalogue of hedge and topiary trees offered for sale. The nursery operated at the Beaconsfield Road roundabout, Main Street, Emerald from the 1990s to 2005, closing down after it established a propagation site on Pepi's Land, Beaconsfield Road. There was considerable controversy about its operation in the Main Street due to traffic and other problems (see contemporary newspaper clippings). The catalogue features Boxoz, a form of box-leafed honeysuckle, or Lonicera nitida, propagated by the nursery.
