Street Tree Book STREET TREE BOOK An Inspirational Guide to Street Trees in NZ 2019 Edition QUALITY SPECIMEN TREES Melia azedarach in Weston Avenue, Palmerston North STREET TREE BENEFITS PRO-POTS ADVANCED GROWING SYSTEM Street trees provide social, economic, and environmental benefits, including: Safety Street trees provide a safety zone between traffic and people, and it is said vehicle speeds are often lower in tree-lined streets. Eco Friendly Trees provide the majority of the oxygen we breathe. Their root systems absorb water which helps regulate rainwater run-off, reducing the risk of local flooding. Trees also help to cool off the water which otherwise can become quite warm, damaging river systems as it drains away. Shelter Leafland is aware of the need to look more closely at container Trees provide shelter from wind and rain and shade in the summer. This growing methods used for advanced grade trees in NZ. We will cool down properties, people, and tar-seal on the road, meaning roads understand how important it is that a tree has a good healthy root will last longer and ultimately less costs involved in the future. system which will quickly establish to ensure the tree won't fail. Increased property value Our growing method had to be the most practical, sustainable, and It is claimed that tree-lined streets increase the value of houses up to cost-effective way to grow advanced grade trees that will also meet $17,000, especially avenues of established trees. They create a different the customers expectations and remain price competitive. The search atmospheric feel season to season as well as the character they bring to resulted in our development and use of Pro-Pots. These pots produce a space particularly in more urban locations where placement has been an air pruned root system, which prevents curling root systems. They creatively thought out. People are more inclined to gather and spend time in are easy to use as no assembly is required. Leafland grows trees in these spaces which is great for the local surrounding businesses. 25L, 35L, 45L, 60L, and 100L Pro-Pots. At dispatch, we remove the trees from the pots and put the root ball into a biodegradable hessian easy-lift bag for planting. These hessian transport bags can be planted into the ground and will decompose within a few months. The pots will be washed and recycled, making this system a far superior and sustainable way to grow advanced grade trees.

  • 2021 Catalogue
    QUALITY SPECIMEN TREES 2021 CATALOGUE 20TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION QUALITY SPECIMEN TREES Dear Valued Customer, April 2021 Welcome to our 2021 Leafland Tree Catalogue! It is 20 years this month since we started Leafland and what an interesting journey the past two decades have been. We started with no staff and now Leafland employs over 30 people. I was telling the staff the other day that when we started we had no internet, computers, or mobile phones. Even fax machines were new! I thought we were high-tech when we purchased a Polaroid camera which printed out the tree pictures straight away. We would then run up to the closest postbox and mail it FastPost so our customers would have them by lunch the next day! Now, we send videos of trees live to customers! We trust that you find Leafland's 2021 Tree Catalogue helpful, inspirational, and informative. Please keep it close at hand for easy future browsing. This is the first year that we haven't put prices in but will provide a priced stock list on our website for wholesale customers only. Get in touch with us to find out how this will work. The catalogue is also available online from our website so that you can direct your clients to the website to view pictures. The Leafland website has been updated with a search feature so you can sort our range of trees by category, growth rate, mature height, what each tree will tolerate, and much more. You can find this tree finder at leafland.co.nz/trees.

This article will be featuring fabulous fauna which will make you say “yay for yellow!”. Don’t forget to read a superb short story about marvelous micro sea animals found in the coral reefs of Niue. And, if you are looking for an educational drive and environmental themed activities remember, to check out our awesome activity page. We hope you enjoy our newsletter! Supported by: This is a newsletter made by primary students in the Predator Free Wellington Schools Programme. It is aimed at all students at schools taking part in the programme on and around the Miramar peninsula. Any questions or queries, please have a look on the www.pfw.org.nz website, or send an email to [email protected] STORY OF THE MONTH What has Room 3 been up to? Last term, our class made a cool and creative art piece for the predator Free Exhibition run by Karin. Each student participated in a group or by themselves to create a small model to represent what they wanted the Miramar Peninsula to look like in the future. From bird songs to compost bins, Room 3 worked hard to put it all together. Unfortunately we didn’t win the vote to have our exhibit put in Te Papa but it was great to see the members of our class trying their best to create a better Te Motu Kairangi for the future generations to come.

Champion, Leon R. Perrie, Sarah M. Beadel, Kerry A. Ford, Ilse Breitwieser, Ines Schönberger, Rowan Hindmarsh-Walls, Peter B. Heenan and Kate Ladley Cover: Ramarama (Lophomyrtus bullata, Myrtaceae) is expected to be severely affected by myrtle rust Austropuccinia( psidii) over the coming years. Because of this, it and all other indigenous myrtle species have been designated as Threatened in this assessment. Some of them, including ramarama, have been placed in the worst Threatened category of Nationally Critical. Photo: Jeremy Rolfe. New Zealand Threat Classification Series is a scientific monograph series presenting publications related to the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS). Most will be lists providing NZTCS status of members of a plant or animal group (e.g. algae, birds, spiders), each assessed once every 5 years. After each five-year cycle there will be a report analysing and summarising trends across all groups for that listing cycle. From time to time the manual that defines the categories, criteria and process for the NZTCS will be reviewed. Publications in this series are considered part of the formal international scientific literature. This report is available from the departmental website in pdf form. Titles are listed in our catalogue on the website, refer www.doc.govt.nz under Publications, then Series. © Copyright May 2018, New Zealand Department of Conservation ISSN 2324–1713 (web PDF) ISBN 978–1–98–85146147–1 (web PDF) This report was prepared for publication by the Publishing Team; editing and layout by Lynette Clelland.

A relatively low genetic diversity was found in S. alopecuroides determined by microsatellite markers developed from transcriptome.
