John confessed to buying more trees on his trip down to Piopio this week. He had the trailer on the back of the car, he passed by the nursery and couldn't help himself. We do need to plant more trees at Struan Farm where we've re-landscaped and are about to do so, plus it's not a bad time of the year to get them in.
This week's plantings included FAGUS sylvatica Dawyck Gold (golden beech), MICHELIA 'Silver Cloud,' and two camellias, Camellia sasanqua 'Beatrice Emily' and Camellia C. japonica x C. lutchuensi 'Koto No Kaori.'
I also heard a rumor that twelve birches have been ordered for group plantings along the Pet Paddock roadside edge, which should look quite nice.
What's particularly good about all this is that I shouldn't get any complaints about fruit trees arriving on the scene now, should I? We all have our weaknesses!
