What would you plant?
Help please... We would like to plant some trees to create shade for a shed, no larger than 5-6m. However, we would like them to be in-keeping with the surrounding native bush & we would prefer to have something that is deciduous or at least semi-deciduous, which I'm pretty sure there is barely no such thing as far as natives go, in the height required anyway. The soil is quite sandy, north-west facing on a gentle slope. We are in a very high fire danger area (Hawkesbury area), so have to think of avoiding trees with flaky bark/high oil content etc. I also don't want to introduce anything that could become a weed problem. Flowering/bird attracting is not a requirement, although most natives probably are. I'm thinking I may need to plant a couple of species & thin out or cut-back before winter to get the effect required, if this is possible? I am totally lost on this one. I don't get much of a chance to go to the Forestry, so thought I'd start here.

Hi Trish
The only deciduous tree indigenous to the Sydney region, that sheds its leaves in winter, is Melia azedarach var. australasica, White Cedar. For more information, go to www.ilda.com.au Plants Trees Quote:
