Indigenous Trees Suitable for Landscaping Mount Moreland

The most urgent need in this community is to control and eradicate the last amounts of unwanted invasive alien vegetation that is growing on private properties in Mount Moreland here you can all make a very important contribution to the environment that we live in by introducing a phased eradication of the aliens plants on your own property and replace them with local palnts as per the lists below.

Nature conservation starts at your own front door so please do something to bring back nature into your own drab uninteresting "living dead" garden full of unwanted invasive alien plants and turn it into a beautiful functional living paradise for our local wildlife. Get started today because it is your social and environmental responsibility to do so in particular at this time of rapid climate change.

Planting trees
When planting trees here in Mount Moreland due to the nature of the soil it is far better to plant far less trees and do so properly so that the tree has a better chance of growing into a healthy specimen. My recommendation is for any tree regardless of the size of bag that it is in, to dig a hole one meter cubed then back fill it with one third well rotted compost and approx 100grams of fertiliser which has first been well mixed. Plant the tree and water it well keeping the tree constantly moist until it has established thereafter it will need to be watered from time to time for the first year or so during times of drought.
