Planting And Care Of Trees In The Wheatbelt, F Batini

THE climate of South Western Australia includes a long summer drought which subjects trees to considerable moisture stress.
Shade trees and shelter belts can be established successfully in the wheatbelt without hand watering, provided a suitable site and variety of tree is selected and a little time is spent in site preparation and care of the young tree.
