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.
