"Confine your attention to ecualypte for the reserves, as this species appears to do admirably in the district, and will give you a handsome return in a comparatively short period,” is the advice given to the Awatere County Council by Mr W. G. Morrison, Government forest ranger, who has learned that the council has undertaken an extensive tree-planting campaign. Mr Morrison (states an recommends the use of the eucalyptus obliqua, siberiana (mountain ash), muelleri (mountain gum) varieties for planting in the Awatere district. He describes them as useful timber producers; hardy, and flourish in any soil or situation. When growing from seed the soil should be ploughed as for ordinary cropping and 12oz of seed to the acre sown in late September or early October.
