 Re: Soil Properties
The landscape architect I converse with said when they did their degree they only did a short bit on tree ID, 20 species, piss easy.
Most of their selection of trees etc comes from nursery talk, they dont deal with the back end of their work like we do in 10 year+ time.
Just today I quoted a removal of all palms around a 3 year old pool, they planted above the pipes, now already broken pipes. Space between pool and fence where pipe and palm are is under 1m. Other side of fence is lower with small retaining wall. Nothing big and like only $400 to cut the lot down but there you go, only 3 years later problems.
I've seen nursery tagged trees showing only around 50% the size of what the tree is really capable of, regions are different too, how a tree grows here is different to Melbourne etc. So where they're tagged etc varies, should be tagged by region.
Qld has been shipping cocos palms by truck loads to Adelaide and Melbourne for years ... soon they'll be sorry I'm telling ya. |
