A Complete Guide to Growing Australian Shrubs and Trees from Seed
If you have an interest in the power of seeds to transform the earth, or in planting Australian native trees and shrubs on a small scale or large, this is the book for you. It describes in detail how to:
- Collect your own fruit and nuts
- Extract, store and germinate the seeds in the right way and in the best season
- Use smoke to germinate seed normally difficult to grow. A completely new process!
- Plant out, water, mulch, protect, fertilise and prune your plants for best results
As well, there are sections on botanical names and identifying plants by flower and seed, and an ABC of information about Australian species. Procedures are set out in easy table form and there are lists of plants for a variety of special purposes.
