The Garden Gurus 2006 Autumn Series Fact sheet Segment Title: Native Radical Pruning Episode: #8 20/05/2006 Presenter: Neville Passmore It is a myth that Australian plants do not need pruning, feeding or watering. Like roses, if they are left unpruned for 2-3 years the result in a woody unproductive plant with little or no flowers. The best thing to do for you favourite native plants like grevilleas, banksias and gum trees is to take a leaf from roses and trim your plants on a regular basis. When to prune Australian natives: Smelly Socks Grevillea (Grevillea leucopteris) is a moth pollinated plant that produces large creamy white flower clusters that literally glow at night when moths are on the hunt for nectar. The flower is the only part of the evolutionary survival mechanism of these plants. After the flower is pollinated it goes on to produce fruits and seed to keep the species going. This draws enormous energy from the plant. By trimming off the growth and removing the spent flowers before they go to seed will encourage fresh growth which looks good in gardens but this also gives better flowering in the next season. So the general rule is to prune immediately once flowering has finished. How hard to prune the plants: The Mottlecah or Rose of the West (Eucapyptus macrocarpa) is a spectacular foliage and flowering shrub. As soon as these flowers have faded the plant begins to direct energy into producing big fat fruits which house the seed. If you cut back behind the fruits into stems that still have live foliage then you are most likely to be rewarded with fresh shoots. This is in contrast to pruning back into leafless woody stems which often fail to shoot into new growth. What you use in the way of tools entirely depends on the type of growth you are cutting. For example if trimming the fine tip growth of the Eremea (Eremea beaufortioides) then a pair of Fiskars hedge shears would be ideal. Just take 10-15cm off an established shrub. Alternatively taking off the dead heads of a Banksia ashbyii then The Garden Gurus power leaver lopper makes easy work for these thick stems. Dead branches are bad news for a tree like the River Red Gum (Corymbia camaldulensis) and it does not look to good to us either. For a big job like this the Ryobi chain saw from the ‘Expand It’ range is ideal and will make a clean cut. Pruning native Australian plants is not so mysterious after all and the results can be astounding. Featured Products: o Ryobi ‘Expand It’ Range o The Garden Gurus Loppers o Fiskars Hedge Shears .

Population Demography and Seed Bank Dynamics of the Threatened Obligate Seeding Shrub Grevillea Maxwellii Mcgill (Proteaceae)
Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 90: 165–174, 2007 Population demography and seed bank dynamics of the threatened obligate seeding shrub Grevillea maxwellii McGill (Proteaceae) S Barrett1 & A Cochrane2 1 Department of Environment and Conservation 120 Albany Highway, Albany WA 6330 [email protected] 2 Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983 Manuscipt received March 2007; accepted August 2007 Abstract Grevillea maxwellii McGill (Proteaceae) is a threatened endemic perennial shrub restricted to the Pallinup River corridor in southern Western Australia. This obligate seeding species was demonstrated to have a low fruit to flower ratio (0.0123) and a small soil-stored seed reserve of 24.4 m-2 that remains highly viable (greater than 90 %) for at least 12 months. After disturbance the seedling to parent ratio was 9:1, and the juvenile period for this species was at least four years. Fire and episodic autumn rainfall events appeared to provide the most effective stimuli for recruitment however seedling survival was adversely affected by grazing and drought. Over the study period survival of the largest cohorts of seedlings ranged from 5.3% (after fire treatment) to 8.7% (no disturbance). Percentage mortality of adult plants ranged from 30% to 37% pre-study to 9% to 12% during the study. Inter-fire recruitment was effective in maintaining population stability over the four-year study period however small population size renders this threatened species vulnerable to stochastic environmental events. Too frequent disturbance in combination with low seed production, juvenile period, drought and grazing have the potential to drive this species to extinction.

BENNETT, Botanist THE wildflowers of Western Australia which have aroused such interest throughout the world are found largely in the south western corner of the State. Within this area, and indeed in the drier areas also, certain districts are richer than others. One example of this concentration of wildflowers occurs to the north and east of Geraldton. As in most areas, the sandplains which with the orange of B. prionotes never fail occupy a large part of the Geraldton dis to impress visitors while the many species trict are of particular interest, and support of the other groups such as smokebush, a majority of the wildflower species.

Grevilleas A-Z by Graeme Woods
Grevilleas A-Z: Summary of talk by Graeme Woods (May 2016) The day his passion for grevilleas was ignited was when he went to Beasley’s nursery and there was Grevillea magnifica waving its big beautiful arms. It cost $140 then-some 20 years ago. This is when such grafted plants were first appearing in nurseries. The genus now consists of up to 400 species and at least 100 subspecies. They are widespread and can be found all over Australia. They come in wide ranging sizes from the giant G. robusta to small ground covers such as G. alpina . There is a species Grevillea petrophiloides for every letter of the alphabet. There are essentially 3 types of flowers: Spider (also known as cluster type, erect and pendant), cone shaped (terminal) flower, and toothbrush. Leaves come in variety of shapes and sizes. When planting a grevillea dig a good hole, plant it for life, it is very important to ensure good drainage which is more Grevillea armigera important than pH as an issue for success. They do not survive transplanting very well so it is best to leave them where they are first established. They do enjoy some fertilizer, it is good for best flowering and is important if growing on sandy soil. If the plant is in pipes or pots then fertilize once a year. Graeme has 100s of grevilleas, in raised beds. Many people come to get stock for propagation. He plants in summer in Gisborne, where temperatures are less harsh and they grow well in the warmth. He hand waters until established then only waters if needed.

The shape of the Proteaceae corky. flower will determine the method of fertilisation and this can be carried out by bees, Flowers are frequently in racemes or spikes but birds, butterflies, moths and other insects, and also Collection sometimes condensed into heads. The style is by microbats and other small invertebrates. often long and conspicuous ending in an enlarged stigma [pollen presenter]. Initially planted during the 1960s by Dave Gordon, this section of the Garden soon became overgrown by those hakeas which readily shed their seeds and by these more vigorous species, hence greatly reducing the variety of species displayed. This stigma restoration celebrates the beauty and form of the family. Sincere thanks are offered to the Australian Garden History Society for support through the part funding of this restoration. This support ensures a further valuable addition to our collection as the honorary directors work tirelessly to increase the understanding of the importance of Australian species in all landscapes. With the exception of a few rainforest species, members of this family usually occur on infertile Gallery sandy soils and lateritic gravels.
