Budwood Order Forms

P1 - Premium - recently imported varieties of high health status.  These are at the highest cost per bud as they are in high demand/low supply.  Much of the budwood for these varieties will come from nursery rapid multiplication, which is more expensive than field production of budwood.  Due to the nature of supply of these varieties certain disclaimers must be acknowledged on the order form.

P2 - Premium - imported varieties of high health status.  These are at the second tier of pricing, as supply is starting to meet demand, but costs are still being recovered.

P3 - Premium - High health status established varieties.  These are at the base level of pricing.

S2 - Standard - Citrus varieties that may not be subjected to regular disease testing, and usually not commercially planted varieties.  Pricing as per P3-Premium.

Order froms are updated twice per year, with new forms released in Winter for Spring budwood supply, and in early Summer for late Summer/Autumn budwood supply.  Old order forms are reduntant after the new forms are released.

Budwood Availability

Australian Customers:

Overseas Customers:

Budwood is cut throughout the year as required, but generally takes place from October through to April. Budwood is despatched only on receipt of a completed Auscitrus order form. Closing dates for orders are 31st July for spring/summer budwood and 31st December for autumn budwood each year. In the event of a shortage of budwood of a variety, orders will be filled on a percentage basis. There is a minimum order of 10 buds per variety and a minimum charge of $50 plus postage & handling. The purchaser must pay all freight or postage and fees.

Budwood is also available to growers outside Australia if the requests do not conflict with Australian requirements. The cost and conditions of this supply is different than for Australian growers. For overseas customers the price per bud is $US 2.50 with a minimum of 10 buds per variety and a minimum charge of $US125 per variety. Closing dates for orders are as for Australian customers (see above). The purchaser must also arrange for all needed importation permits and must pay all postage and fees if a Phytosanitary Certificate is required. Payment is required before budwood is dispatched.

Important:
Please note that citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is endemic in Australia and budwood supplied from field sources will carry the virus. If you require small quantities of CTV-free budwood, you must specify this and the budwood will be supplied from the repository for virus-free citrus.
