Hi Julie, The Amla is Phyllanthus emblica. syn=Emblica officinalis. and is not related to Indian Hill Gooseberry. which is more coomonly called Ceylon hill gooseberry and Rhodomyrtus tomentosa.

I know, but I can't afford the $85 it would cost to get it to Perth!

anonymous was looking for ways to kill a tree in his/her garden and I asked for seeds, but no reply. So I thought I would put it out here.

Amla, because it is extremely high in vitamin C. I guess this makes it taste tart.
It is also quite hardy, and I want plants which don't need much water. When I eventually move house I will have to rely on rainwater.

Hi Julie.
I was keen to get some gooseberries too. I used to have a bush from my great grand mothers house many years ago - but eventually lost it. They grow great here - but I'm not too sure on the varieties. It had that parchute case - I guess like the Cape Gooseberry.

(Julie - you can get in touch with me via www.roleystone.net.au )

Is it possible to get some seeds of the various varieties from daleys?

Hi Julie - maybe you know already - there is an organic growers meeting in the Roleystone Family Center on April 8th about growing your own veggies.

Some of regulars there might be able to help us out. Cheers.

Chris, I think you are referring to English gooseberries (you mention a 'bush'). Amla is a tree from India.

I was one of the group who started the Roleystone OG many years ago. I don't go much these days, but I do donate seeds to the seed bank.

Jimbob, can you send me some seeds please? email julwood at iprimus dot com and let me know how much money to send. Thanks.

Yeah - that picture actually wasn't for you - I'm chasing the Cape gooseberry (or the English Gooseberry?). Didn't realize there were so many types.

Just found out that due to our WA quarantine laws, we can't be posted seeds interstate - or so says an online interstate seed supplier.

Good luck on your quest for the Amla!

Chris, that would probably be Cornucopia. They wouldn't send me amaranth seed, but Eden seeds could. Also Phoenix Seeds, but they will not send certain seeds to WA. Don't give up!

There still seems to some confusion abut gooseberries. English gooseberries are a perennial bush that needs a cool climate. The fruit is tart and pale green.Cape gooseberries love a warm climate, and do better grown as an annual.

Given our position in the hills, you might well be able to grow English gooseberries. After all, raspberries, loganberries etc do OK in Roleystone.

Jimbob and Jimy, where are you? You both mentioned you had Amla in WA, but so far, haven't responded to my request for seeds. I am happy to pay for them.

I have yet to find out if seeds can be sent to WA, so if either of you have some, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Most of the local nurseries here sell gooseberry bushes. Probably the wrong time of year for them now though, you more want to get them in winter, or possibly spring. I think bunnings had them here a couple of weeks ago.
