Trevor finds an innovative way to grow more in less at PlantNet.

• PlantNet was founded in 2006 by a group of nurseries with a shared goal of bringing dwarf fruit trees to home gardeners.
• The concept was developed in response to shrinking backyards and more mobile lifestyles, creating demand for compact, productive plants.
• PlantNet’s dwarf fruit trees are designed to produce full-size fruit while remaining small enough for patios, balconies, and compact backyards.
• In 2026, PlantNet celebrates 20 years, backed by more than 270 years of combined industry experience across its nursery network.
• The organisation distributes its products widely across Australia, including VIC, WA, SA, NSW, TAS, and QLD.
• Gardeners can access growing advice and support by scanning QR codes on plant labels or visiting the PlantNet website for guides and videos.
• Popular collections include Backyard Beauties™, Tropical Sensations®, Cherry Celebration®, Summer Crunch®, and Backyard Boosters™, offering options suited to different climates and lifestyles.
• PlantNet focuses on quality, consistency, and innovation, supported by extensive trialling to ensure plants perform well in Australia’s challenging conditions.
