Hi Craftlingife

Which cinchona species you are after? There are at least 38 species of cinchona officinalis.

Happy gardening :-)

Hi Craft

Only Cinchona Calisaya Wedd. plant is permitted to be imported here in Australia as per Western Australia Organism List. It also contains quinine like the C. Succirubra but to a lesser percentage. There was a C. Succirubra plantation in Queensland during the 1940's but it was since scrapped after WW2. It is hard to locate a C. Succirubra plant here in OZ except for the bark or the powder. Indonesia is the nearest country who have sizeable plantation of C. Succirubra for export. Good luck.

Happy Gardening :-)

Thank you for the in depth response. i am in Qld and maybe there is hope to locate a plant locally. Do you have an idea where the old plantation was located? I will inquire with qld Bio-security to see if it is controlled.

Thanks so much for your help

Hi Craft

There was another cinchona succirubra plantation besides Qld. It was called Poett's Coffee and Cinchona Plantation between 1873-1927 located at Rum Jungle, N.T. near the Finiss river.

Happy Gardening :-)

Wow! Cinchona fruits in Melbourne. Lucky you! Were the seeds viable? Is there any way to get any?
