Tree Care
Clearing the blackberry from one of last year’s seedling chestnut trees. The wire cage is to protect the young tree from rabbits. The plastic container is full of blackberry – pick the berries before I clear them.
Early Apples
It’s still summer. Some of the trees have fruit that is ripe earlier than others – this tree is one of the earliest in our garden.
Holly Tree
An interesting holly tree in the Wairarapa.
Red Flowering Gum Tree
Native to Western Australia, but can also be found as an ornamental in New Zealand gardens.
Chestnuts To Be
The chestnut flowers have gone, and the trees now carry young chestnuts.
Ancient Rata Tree
There is an ancient Rātā tree, close to the Āniwaniwa Visitor Centre, about 30 mins walk. It is massive, estimated to be between 800 and 1000 years old. Difficult to imagine it started out as a vine growing on a host tree.
Towering Tree Fern
On the walk to the little lake, Lake Waikareiti, the path is snaking through beautiful native bush, with rimu, beech, and towering tree ferns.
