We wanted Cal to select and plant a tree so this could become his tree which continues to grow and do well here at Larnook (as a number of other friends have done). So we visited Daley's Nursery at Kyogle a week or so ago and selected this fine Illawarra Flame Tree, which has been grafted on to root stock and will flower in three years rather than the usual 6. We planted it, along with some other native trees, along the fence line in the bottom paddock. Here's Cal beginning to dig the hole.
And here he is with it nicely planted, fertilized and watered. The rain that we have been having up here would have done it the wold of good and I checked it out today as I mowed this paddock and it was looking very healthy. Hopefully it will flourish.
