25.01.2022 Now that autumn is here and the nights are getting chilly, the paulownia are going on the heat mats to encourage some further germination.

24.01.2022 Monday 23rd March National Eucalyptus Day! Please share photos of your favorite gum tree Monday 23rd March National Eucalyptus Day! Please share photos of your favorite gum tree

24.01.2022 We have a pea! Bossiaea cinerea. Found growing up the nth west corner & gratefully identified by John Gibson from Plants of Tasmania Nursery.

23.01.2022 The evening symphony

22.01.2022 To celebrate National Eucalyptus Day, I have some new additions to the garden! Really obsessed with deep pink & purple flowers at the moment

21.01.2022 Wow! Really had to look close to see this wasn't a photo!

21.01.2022 Trees along the ridge will be slowly reduced each year for firewood but replaced, 2 trees are planted for each tree removed.

20.01.2022 Before and after! A huge job for wwoofer Luke to remove this groundcover weed from the fence! Plus the neighbor is going to take the piles of weed to feed his goats!!

19.01.2022 Recently visited the Hobart Botanical Gardens for some inspiration & ideas!

18.01.2022 My grafted Corymbia ficifolia is blossoming

17.01.2022 The frame for the shade house is halfway done!

17.01.2022 Time for this massive old wattle to come down. It will open up an area that is currently very shaded and so it can now be planted with bursaria spinosa & the local banksia marginata.

16.01.2022 A project close to my heart https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WtaDnF1ov/

16.01.2022 Weeding, weeding, weeding..... Plus creating new garden planting areas!

16.01.2022 Thinning out clusters of big Euc. globulous to open up space to plant a more diverse range of eucalyptus trees and increase the understory too.

15.01.2022 Pricking out my first germinated seeds! Acacia suaveolens, I collected this seed myself locally

13.01.2022 The 2020-2021 growing list... Nothing official yet BUT there are thoughts of growing wholesale....

13.01.2022 We have some unusual and beautiful mainland Eucalyptus trees in stock at the moment. Including the stunning E.rhodantha (pictured), pleurocarpa, cernua, brandia...na, youngiana and erythrocorys. These are are all smaller Eucalyptus with eye catching flowers. Great for attracting birds and insects to your garden : Carol Marie

13.01.2022 Recently purchased this great book! Fantastic photos, illustrations and info along with historical & cultural details of my favorite tree.

12.01.2022 My latest addition to the growing number of eucalyptus! Latest count is 22! https://www.abc.net.au//facts/bell-fruited-mallee/11551704

11.01.2022 Nothing is wasted here! Particular trees are cut for firewood, the branches & stick are broken up for kindling. Even the leaves are used, scrunched up for mulch! It's time consuming but thanks to wwoofer power it gets done!

10.01.2022 Started on some seeding today, my co-workers were sleeping on the job!

10.01.2022 A huge part of setting up the Arboretum is the help I get from wwoofers. Without them it would be a very slow and arduous process!

08.01.2022 Clearing up branches into mulch thanks to Bianca and Ellis with his machine!

06.01.2022 Beautiful, sprinkles of rain this evening in Primrose SandsBeautiful, sprinkles of rain this evening in Primrose Sands

04.01.2022 More blossoms on the grafted Corymbia ficifolia! This is a special tree as it's the main centerpiece for my memorial garden. It's for my mum who I lost at a very young age, she was a very passionate gardener.

04.01.2022 Florent working hard, processing branches for fire wood kindling. Gorgeous sunny day, only 13c but doesn't feel cold at all!!

04.01.2022 A massive 100ml + of rain a few days ago!

01.01.2022 Spring planting!
