Pūriri (or Kauere) is easily one of my favorite New Zealand trees, truly a Rakau Rangatira. A long lived tree with extremely durable timber. This quality made it very suitable for fence posts as can be seen in the picture, a forgotten pile of Pūriri fenceposts. The stump and crown can clearly be seen on either side of the posts. One wonders how long ago the tree was felled and rived into suitable lenghts, undoubtedly a laborious task. Seems such a waste after all this time...

Today marks International Earth Day! 🌍🌎 Planting trees is one of the easiest and most effective actions to help the environment. 🌲 However, always check for underground pipes and cables using the free BYDA referral service before starting work to avoid damaging underground assets. Also, ensure the tree roots are distant from assets to avoid damaging what's below as they grow. Here are a few tips to get you started: 👉 Select an ideal spot for your tree with plenty of sunlight and good, well-drained soil. 👉 Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the tree root ball. 👉 Place the tree in the soil, making sure that the roots are spread out. 👉 Add compost or soil to fill the hole, and pat down the soil around the tree's base. 👉 Water the tree thoroughly and add mulch around it to retain moisture. Start your tree planting journey by lodging a free BYDA enquiry! Visit www.byda.com.au #BYDA #SafeDigging #EarthDay #PlantTrees #Lanscaping

Plants need to be watered properly. Overwatering causes problems for the plant. When watering, make sure you don’t overdo it. If you do, then the soil will become wet and cause problems for the plant. How do you dry overwatered soil? https://hapy.link/9ih- #overwatered #soil

2wSuch beautiful wood. This would make a cool ancestral split rail fence. Old pieces of Thuja occidentalis are very popular on Quebec rural properties to maintain that heritage feel https://www.homestead.org/homesteading-construction/old-fashioned-fencing-yesterdays-fence-for-todays-homestead/
