Thanks for the feedback. It is important that people choose the right species to plant in their gardens, what I have shown you today, if done carefully is, I believe, a good choice.
Thanks for this! I’ve been looking into trees that will grow well in my coastal garden and the advice on salt tolerance and wind resistance was super useful. Definitely bookmarking this for reference!
So many natives are salt tolerant! Shiney leaf caprosma- repens, also called mirror-leaf, flax, there is a swamp ribbonwood which likes salt Marsh, cabbage tree, nikau, rengarenga,the psuodopanax seems to love growing along the coast. karo, carokia
This video really cleared up my confusion about which trees are low-maintenance and still look great. I love how practical the advice is! I’ll definitely be planting some of these suggestions.
I appreciate the focus on sustainability. Choosing native trees that support local wildlife is a priority for me, and this video gave me some great options to look into for my garden
I always struggled choosing the right tree for my garden, especially considering the weather patterns here in New Zealand. This video was exactly what I needed! The suggestions make a lot of sense for our climate and soil.
I've just had my first karaka seeds germinate ! I'm in Greymouth & the big karaka on blaketpwn tip-head has seed I collected last season, just in case other coasters are interested in doing the same. I put them on pots & left them three months, over wintre. November they have germinated lawrie metcalf is right, in his 'propagation of nz native plants' bk, when he suggested tall pots, as the root system is longer ! Guess that's because it's a large tree. Fast growing possibly. Beautiful shiny leaves. Now the challenge is keeping them growing and healthy. I didn't know they are frosttender ! Thanks Joe
Thanks Joe for the lacebark info, love it's delicate open form. Loving your videos, such great tips ! regeneration & creating tree nurseries has such purpose & is so much fun. Keep u the gd work joe
I live in a coastal city and in 1994 i purchased a house on a large bare section. I planted a RewaRewa with no concept of how big it would get. It proved to be an amazing haven for birds, particularly for sparrows and waxeyes. Sadly on a recent open home visit, the section is as bare as it once was.
It reads like you have a piece of land that,s ideal to build a bird bush habitat. For the most part my past videos cover many of the things that you will face in doing so. Take a look at the places around you, that will give some idea what to do. By the way In spring Rewarewa produce a lot of nectar.
Follow my videos to find out more about the connection between NZ native trees and birds and biodiversity in our native forest. The best trees to encourage the tui.
Hi Joe, I have seen pigeons feeding on trees with white flowers. The pigeons seem to eat them what trees are those. I could do with something to attract pigeons down the back of my section.
Firstly Paul, there is a need to identify the pigeon you have seen. Go on line to find out more about them, Maybe an Email to DOC The NZ native pigeon is a very large bird with a distinctive white chest. They are one of the few birds Large enough to consume the large Tawa tree berries, thus helping to spread our native trees There are many species of trees with white flowers a native pigeon will eat on any berry available to them .I have produced a number of videos about this bird you can look at.
Awesome guide!
The tips on climate and soil are great-I'll definitely consider that when choosing a tree. It’s so important to plant what thrives in your area.
Very helpful.
