  • Grow Natives in Pots
    ATG About the Garden ATGFACTAbout SHEET the Garden Fact Sheet No. 21 GROWING NATIVES IN POTS The key factors to successfully growing Australian plants in containers are exactly the same as for exotic plants - drainage and nutrition. The main points to remember are that good drainage is even more important for certain natives (mainly those originating in arid areas with very light, sandy soils) and that plants in the Proteaceae family require low phosphorus fertilisers. When growing plants in containers it is important *PLANTS IN THE to know their type and origin so ask yourself the following questions: FAMILY PROTEACEAE • Tree, shrub or climber/groundcover? • Does it originate in a high or low rainfall area? INCLUDE: • Is its natural habitat sun or shade? • Natural soil type - light (sandy) or heavy (clay)? Athertonia banksia The type of plant determines the ultimate pot size. buckinghamia Knowing its origins will tell you the type of growing cardwellia medium you need, how much water and whether it darlingia should be placed in sun or shade. If the label doesn’t dryandra give you enough information, ask nursery staff. hakea lomatia Any type of container can be used, providing it has macadamia plenty of adequate sized drainage holes. Too small and oreocallis they will drain too slowly and block up easily; too large persoonia and all your precious water will run away too fast. Most petrophile, good quality terracotta and plastic pots come with stenocarpus and good drainage holes; a medium-sized pot should have telopea no less than four, about the size of a five cent piece.

Activities such as amenity forests, camping sites and outdoor sports can cause destruction to natural habitat. Geologically, the formation involved granites as the core and quartzite covers the outer layer of the mountain. This indicates the establishment of hill heath forest vegetation, mostly on the summit region and lowland dipterocarp forest vegetation at lower region. The uniqueness of its vegetation attracts botanists and collectors to do series of plant collection since 1845.

  • Species Selection Guidelines Tree Species Selection
    Species selection guidelines Tree species selection This section of the plan provides guidance around the selection of species for use as street trees in the Sunshine Coast Council area and includes region-wide street tree palettes for specific functions and settings. More specific guidance on signature and natural character palettes and lists of trees suitable for use in residential streets for each of the region's 27 Local plan areas are contained within Part B – Street tree strategies of the plan. Street tree palettes will be periodically reviewed as an outcome of street tree trials, the development of new species varieties and cultivars, or the advent of new pest or disease threats that may alter the performance and reliability of currently listed species. The plan is to be used in association with the Sunshine Coast Council Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual where guidance for tree stock selection (in line with AS 2303–2018 Tree stock for landscape use) and tree planting and maintenance specifications can be found. For standard advanced tree planting detail, maintenance specifications and guidelines for the selection of tree stock see also the Sunshine Coast Open Space Landscape Infrastructure Manual – Embellishments – Planting Landscape). The manual's Plant Index contains a comprehensive list of all plant species deemed suitable for cultivation in Sunshine Coast amenity landscapes. For specific species information including expected dimensions and preferred growing conditions see Palettes – Planting – Planting index). 94 Sunshine Coast Street Tree Master Plan 2018 Part A Tree nomenclature Strategic outcomes The names of trees in this document follow the • Trees are selected by suitably qualified and International code of botanical nomenclature experienced practitioners (2012) with genus and species given, followed • Tree selection is locally responsive and by the plant's common name.
