Innovation in Propagation - Mass production of new clonal
varieties
 Yuruga
Nursery (Clonal Solutions Australia is a spin-off company of the Yuruga Nursery) is at the fore-front of the mass-production of new clonal varieties
of forestry and agricultural crops.
Yuruga is the only nursery in Australia with the technology to mass-produce
elite hybrid eucalypts, and millions of these clones have been despatched
to timber plantations throughout Australia from Darwin to Albany.
Mass producing eucalypts clonally is not easy - in fact, text books and
horticultural institutions in Australia until very recently taught that
it could not be done. As such, Yuruga Nursery is at the 'cutting edge'
of both the nursery and forestry industries.

Some of the crops that Yuruga has mass produced are:
- Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) - elite clones
- Eucalyptus (various species and hybrids) - over 1,000 different clones
- Coffee
- Acacia mangium - elite clones
- Teak - extensive experience in deflasking
tissue culture.
Experience and achievements:
-
produced over 10 million clones for agriculture
-
produced over 5 million eucalypt clones for forestry
- screened over 1000 different eucalyptus clones for commercial viability
of the propagation process
