Planting And Care Of Trees In The Wheatbelt, F Batini
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
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.
This article, which is adapted from a Forests Department publication "Catalogue of Trees for growing under Western Australian conditions", sets out the best varieties of trees and establishment methods.
