Plant purchases direct from this website are thriving. It is convenient, saves travelling to ONPN, and can be done 24/7. Here is the response of a recent client:

"Thank you very much. My cordylines arrived today :) I am very impressed with your prompt service and the quality of my new babies.

I will definitely order plants from you in the future.

Thanks again, Courtney"

Dicksonia squarrosa unfolding frond on Oakley Creek.
Mature Wheki by totara in our garden. It really gives our living space its whole character, being visible from the front door, the living room and the dining room table.
What appears a cluster of separate plants is more likely a single plant connected by underground rhizomes.
Dicksonia squarrosa with a new aerial bud. Note the opportunistic rata on the trunk, along with a host of other tiny ferns and mosses.
