I’m roughly three fifths the way through planting orchard #1 and Darren visits today with more bare roots trees for our strip and riparian forests.

I was quite challenged by my original bare rooted tree order, but this delivery takes the mulberry cake. 160 trees there abouts comprising, willows, poplars and mulberries and this is only a fraction of the 3,600 or so trees in Darren’s two system designs. Of course it’s all relative, and for many this planting is modest.

The trees were supplied by Valley Tree Nursery in Ardmona near Shepparton and represent great value. We’re very pleased with both the quality and the price.

Kudos to the nursery.
