A little bigger than that. I have an 80cm tank and i want a few pieces that will stretch the length of it.

This wood is collected from the hills in California, where Tom lives. Fantastic wood!

 

[Shrimpy]

so i guess shipping to the UK is out of the question?

Anyone know a UK supplier?

 

[kevin1962]

i've just seen some manzanita trees being sold on ebay, dont know if they are suitable or not

 

[Steve Smith]

Tom will ship to the UK, but usually you'd need to get a box to make it worth while. I'm not sure how much it costs, but I think the shipping is the major expense. AndyH has just got a box shipped over 🙂 I got wood! | UK Aquatic Plant Society

freshwatershrimp may still have some left...worth a pm.

I actually can collect manzanita and ship it for EXACT minimum cost, I usually charge 40$ a box (Up to 2ft long, 50$ for boxes 3ft long and 55$ for boxes 4ft long) . And unlike TomBarr I do not charge some minimum 50-100$ for international, You'd pay the exact shipping costs~ Have you acquired your manzanita yet? I do believe I will be going back up to the mountains in a week or two. (Another member who has bought manzanita from me is Ian)

Nice to have more people supplying this but

And unlike TomBarr I do not charge some minimum 50-100$ for international

he charges for the wood plus exact shipping cost also.

Oh nice! Well maybe I'm cheaper since I charge a base of 40 for a box+exact shipping of manzanita vs each branch or a box of scraps.

I been searching online for this wood for a while now, seems near impossible to get in uk 🙁

 

[krazypara3165]

As people have stated you can get it from tom barr over from the us. the cost works out at around £150 a box including shipping but they are big boxes.

 

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

I'll have some available once I get my tank setup and I decide what I'm using.

Well, as long as I don't go 'all in'...

 

[GreenNeedle]

Mine came from Tom Barr (via KrazyPara. Thank you 😉 )

This is most of what I got in the tank below (80cm tank) and was £60 including KrazyPara delivering:
