Casuarina roots

. au... "0tterbot" wrote in message having said all that, i read recently (and i can't remember where!) that longstem planting is surprisingly effective for more trees than you would think, It was certainly featured on one of the Gardening Australia programs. amazing really as it goes against the grain after all those years of being told to plant at the level the plant was in the pot. yes, that's it. it was in a copy of g.a. magazine (which i don't buy, but my mum sends me her used ones). i found it right after i posted (isn't that always the way). for the information of anyone else, someone called bill hicks was experimenting with longstem planting of aust. natives, to repair & prevent erosion (i.e. if the trees are deep, and making adventitious roots from the buried part, they tend to grow well without any extra water or care, and much less likely to be washed away by flooding, etc). he found not all species will live like this, but many of them do. and also, those which thrive on teh technique get really big, really fast, which is what you want to repair erosion. kylie |
