Aluminium Plant Labels $0.16 for 1 labels
You have 0 of these labels in your basket.Have you noticed how the labels from the nursery perish in the sun, or fade till you can't read them anymore? We have finally found a solution for labelling our seedlings and bushes permanently: Thin aluminium labels. Just write on them with a ball-point pen, and you can still see the imprint long after the ink has washed off! Also, aluminium does not rust or perish, and is easy to spot on your bush. These tags have a hole for tying them to large bushes, and have a pointy end for sticking in the soil next to seeds or seedlings. We have labeled all our bushes using these so that we can keep records of their production and pruning.

This certifies that the seeds were examined and shown to be free of fungal diseases. If you do not include this with the shipment, the USDA may stop your seeds from entering the country. Most customers with small orders take a chance without this certificate, the price is only worth it for a large order where you stand to lose more if the seeds get stopped. The cost of this certificate merely covers our expenses in getting it from the South African department of agriculture, and the presence or lack thereof has no bearing on the high quality of the seeds we supply.
