18.01.2022 Wish I had planted more of these when I started out here, spectacular. Loving the poinciana trees.

17.01.2022 The Cunnamulla Bushlands, have a walk around and check out the great work that has been done out there to date.

17.01.2022 Just saw a pelican at Cunnamulla Bushlands

17.01.2022 I have planted a heap of the Tuckeroos around the park, they aren't the fastest growing tree but they have a great shape to them. I have started to thin out their lower branches to try and make them more of a shade tree. They seem to handle the heat out here, need a bit of water. DESCRIPTION: Australian native feature tree with a rounded shape and evergreen foliage. The roots are non invasive making it a popular with landscapers and often used in council gardens. Tuckeroo pla...nts establish quickly and live for 50 - 60 years at a tidy height of 5-8 metres. Cream flowers appear during autumn followed by bright orange, bird attracting fruit in spring. USE IN: Ideal for street planting, feature planting and screening. LOCATION: Sunny/part shade position is ideal. Plant in a free draining soil rich in organic matter. CARE: Mulch and water well until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Prune regularly to maintain a dense rounded growth habit and fertilise with slow release native fertiliser during spring. HEIGHT & WIDTH: 5-8m H x 5-7m W. See more

16.01.2022 Check out Sandy's garden in Townsville. Lots of work done there Sandy

15.01.2022 Check out this beautiful garden in Hervey Bay,

14.01.2022 The Brigalow Wattle commonly known as the Brigalow tree of australia, it can reach up to ten metres in height. It grows in open forest and clay soils. Discovered a patch of them out at the Cunnamulla Bushlands and they look great planted as a forest, I Have some terrible clay patches out the back of my place where the water sits and I think these would be great as a mass planting and a feature. I am going to have a go at creating a couple of small forests, who knows, I may gain some extra wildlife out there. I will have to check with Tim Higgins into more details about how they grow, as he is the expert on local natives.

12.01.2022 I had a western side of one of my cabins where I couldnt grow anything, yet it was in a prominent position where all visitors had to pass to go further into the park. I tried a few different plants but nothing really responded, so than I tried some succulents. Aloe Vera proved to be successful, and although they do tend to get large look how spectacular they are when they flower. I get probably eight weeks of flowers all up, but they seem to start at one end of the garden... and move across to the next plant so it is a great show. Colourful: For much of the year - mainly late summer, autumn, winter and early spring. Sculptural: Striking bold and modern floral and architectural forms puts them in the horticultural spotlight as plants of the future. Sustainable: Able to withstand the harsh Australian climate by storing water and food within swollen leaves and roots, easy to grow, resistant to disease and pests as well as being bird attracting.

12.01.2022 Eucalyptus cladocalyx (sugar gum) is a distinctive looking Eucalypt, can reach large tree proportions under its preferred conditions. This species occurs over a relatively small natural range in South Australia, but grows equally as well in Cunnamulla SWQ. Eucalyptus cladocalyx (sugar gum) is now widely used as a windbreak species, and for firewood plantations. It is regarded widely as one of the best eucalypt species for premium firewood, but makes for a fast growing shade tree here. If you like it, you can purchase through Era Nurseries for $1.95 tubestock.

11.01.2022 Can anyone please help Jessie Thompson Appreciate

05.01.2022 Someone once told me don't grow bottle trees as they are very slow growing, and by accident someone gave me a couple when I first started the park off. They were both about two feet tall when I got them and now seven years later they look like this. I love them, they require no looking after and seem to love the climate out here, although they do require the occasional drink, and you will be rewarded with heaps of new growth, like they are almost thanking you for doing so. ... The tree on the left is about four metres tall, and the one on the right is about 3. The only difference is the larger one was planted in rich soil built up on top of the clay soil. Brachychiton is a genus containing more than 30 species commonly found growing in the tropical and subtropical parts of Australia, but we are going to focus on a particular species - the Queensland bottle tree. The bottle tree has one of the most visually interesting shapes. It's botanically known as Brachychiton rupestris, it's a member of the Malvaceae family and is also commonly known as the Queensland bottle tree, or narrow leaf bottle tree. The common name derives from the tree's shape, which becomes bottle like as it ages at between five and eight years of age. Some people believe the tree is hollow but the swelling is due to the water held in its trunk. The bottle tree is semi-deciduous and reaches 18 to 20 metres. But if grown in cooler regions it's usually smaller. The leaves are about a hundred millimetres long and these drop from the tree before flowering. The bell shaped, or campanulate, yellowish flowers usually form between October and December in clusters at the end of the branches. The bottle tree doesn't get attacked by many pests but damage to the trunk makes the tree susceptible to infection. Make sure you don't damage the bark with the mower or the brushcutter and don't pile mulch against the trunk. Bottle trees grow best in well drained, slightly acidic soil, in full sunshine but they can also withstand temperatures of -8 degrees up to +50 degrees celsius. If you're looking for a feature tree in your garden that's guaranteed to be a talking point, you can't go past the Queensland bottle tree Brachychiton rupestris
