Thread: Okay all you botany experts.. I need help on some berries

Sure is Sheila. It's come a fair way that small garden, and as you could imagine it cops a hiding on New Years Eve! Did you know they have a Wollemi Pine down there?

Is that the Wollemi Pine in the centre?

We've been thinking of planting one here - do you think it would survive in our clay-ish soil and frosty winter mornings? (maybe we should start a new topic!)


Thanks, Sheila

The wollemi at the terminal is caged off to the public and a bit closer to the museum. In the roundabout centre is a Magnolia Little gem. You could always use some gypsum in your soil but the frost in the 1st couple of years after planting would be a slight worry.

What a beautiful photo Bundalene! Ziggy & Zelda would love to get stuck into that tree!

Geez Pete, you are a talented fellow! The goats would love your display ... when I take them on walks every so often up the street, they love getting stuck into some of the bushes, roses are their favourites, yum!

Thanks Panda - you're too kind! Careful of what you pick in the city though, gardens can require more attention in high density areas & you won't be told if they've been sprayed with pest killer or whatever.

Thanks for the warning Pete ... didn't think of that!

Hi Panda,
You should read my posting earlier today about a recipe for goat jerky

Thanks for the comments on the Lilly Pilly tree, we really enjoy having native birds visit us.

Cheers
