TREE PLANTING BY DUNEDIN BRANCH
Members of the Society recently spent a busy Saturday afternoon planting a variety of native trees and shrubs alongside a section of the northern motorway. Trees included kowhai, lemonwood and other pittosporums; broadleaf, several ribbonwoods, including Hoheria angustifolia and H. sextostylosa; the South Island cedar (Libocedrus bidwillii) ; totara; Podocarpus acutifolia; Nothopanax colensoi; and the pepper tree (Drimys colorata'). Flowering shrubs included two species of Veronica, several senecios such as laxifolius, rotundifolius, and bennettii as well as a hybrid type; and Olearia coriacea, O. macrodonta, O. avicenniae folia and O. waikariensis. Flax, toitoi, and cabbage trees were also added to the plantation. Several specimens of a number of the species were planted. The Society was pleased to find that, in spite of the abnormally dry season following last .year’s planting, only a small proportion had not survived and most of the remainder were growing well.
