Gum Seedlings
After buying tube stock from the markets I planted some Bendemeer Gums and Orange Gums down the middle of the paddocks in the tree run on 25 September. After a few weeks I was very pleased with the growth, so on 3 November I planted an extra two Yellowbox in the eastern tree run all the while keeping an eye on the swooping magpies. Although I have watered them on several occasions, we have had lots of rain in between to keep them alive. Over Christmas we will have to mow the grass around them, as I won't let animals in the tree run until they are established.
