Visiting a 10-kilometre area with only plant nurseries | Indonesia Special | Gardening Australia

Tammy and Costa head to ‘garden city’, Bandung, in West Java. It’s a centre for plant growing in Indonesia and one street is even called Plant Street - it’s a 10-kilometre stretch with nothing but plant nurseries. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe

It’s a horticultural hub with all sorts of plants being grown and sold. There is colour everywhere in both the nurseries and houses along the way.

They stop at a section dedicated to fruit - sapodillos, huge mangoes, jackfruit and more.

The Jambu are related to lilly-pillies grown in Australia, but the fruit are much larger - the size of a small pear.

One section is like a frangipani forest. These salvaged plants are for sale but they’re not in pots; they’re being grown in the ground and already about 5 metres tall. If you want to buy one, it will be dug up and delivered.

Featured plants:
Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota )
Mango (Mangifera indica cv.)
Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus)
Pomegranate (Punica granatum cv.)
Jambu (Syzygium sp.)
Frangipani (Plumeria cv.)

Filmed in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
