Hoheria Is Het Proberen Waard BOOMKWEKERIJ Vanwege de matige winter- hardheid is Hoheria in Neder- land slechts spaarzaam ver- krijgbaar. Jammer, want de plant heeft zeker sierwaarde. Wie de juiste cultivar op een beschutte standplaats zet, ont- dekt dat Hoheria een aanwinst voor de tuin kan zijn.

Vanwege de bloemvorm wordt vaak gedacht dat het een bloeiende jasmijn betreft, maar Hoheria sexstylosa ‘Stardust’ anders dan Philadelphus – die tot de Hydran- geaceae behoort – is Hoheria lid van de fami- lie van kaasjeskruidachtigen, de Malvaceae.

Tate 2 1 Allan Herbarium, Landcare Research, PO Box 40, Lincoln 7640, New Zealand 2 Massey University, Institute of Molecular Biosciences, Private Bag 11222, Palmerston North, New Zealand 3 Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Lúcia Lohmann Abstract— As presently circumscribed, Plagianthus includes two morphologically distinct species that are endemic to New Zealand. Plagianthus divaricatus , a divaricate shrub, is a dominant species in coastal saline shrub communities, whereas P. regius is a tree of lowland and montane forests. Results from independent analyses of ITS and 5′ trnK / matK sequences are congruent, and when combined provide a robust framework to study character evolution. Our findings suggest the ancestor of Plagianthus originated in Australia where the sister gen- era Asterotrichion and Gynatrix are presently distributed. The stem age of Plagianthus was estimated at 7.3 (4.0–14.0) million years ago (Ma) and the crown radiation at 3.9 (1.9–8.2) Ma. Most of the characters optimized onto the molecular phylogeny were shared with source lineages from Australia and shown to be plesiomorphic. Only the divaricate branching pattern characteristic of Plagianthus divaricatus was acquired after the lineage became established in New Zealand and shown to be apomorphic. The initial Plagianthus founders were shrubs or small trees with deciduous leaves and small inconspicuous dioecious flowers.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. An evaluation of the establishment, early growth, and nutritive value of native New Zealand shrubs' A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters In Environmental Management At Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Georgia Rose Simmonds 2020 Abstract Agriculture in New Zealand faces many challenges including a need to develop more environmentally focused production systems to help address issues including the need to revegetate step erosion prone hill country, improve indigenous biodiversity and improve water quality. In the past New Zealand has experienced increasingly unpredictable and severe weather which has resulted in severe damage, for example, the 2004 flooding event in the lower north island (Fuller, 2005). New Zealand has a large portion of land that is classed as hill country or steep land, much of which is also classed as highly erodible. These highly erodible areas are vulnerable to high intensity rainfall events; revegetation could help mitigate or reduce the effects of erosion. The species that are currently used in erosion control on farms are often poplars and willows due to their ability to stabilise hill slopes and ease of planting. Native species are not often used in erosion control projects, potentially due to planting difficulties but more likely due to a lack of consistent and long-term information (Phillips, 2005).

  • Here Before We Humans Were and Their Relatives Will Probably Be Here When We Are Gone
    The ‘mighty tōtara’ is one of our most extraordinary trees. Among the biggest and oldest trees in the New Zealand forest, the heart of Māori carving and culture, trailing no. 8 wire as fence posts on settler farms, clambered up in the Pureora protests of the 1980s: the story of New Zealand can be told through tōtara. Simpson tells that story like nobody else could. In words and pictures, through waka and leaves, farmers and carvers, he takes us deep inside the trees: their botany and evolution, their role in Māori life and lore, their uses by Pākehā, and their current status in our environment and culture. By doing so, Simpson illuminates the natural world and the story of Māori and Pākehā in this country. Our largest trees, the kauri Tāne Mahuta and the tōtara Pouakani, are both thought to be around 1000 years old. They were here before we humans were and their relatives will probably be here when we are gone. Tōtara has been central to life in this country for thousands of years. This book tells a great tree’s story, and that is our story too. Philip Simpson is a botanist and author of Dancing Leaves: The Story of New Zealand’s Cabbage Tree, Tī Kōuka (Canterbury University Press, 2000) and Pōhutukawa and Rātā: New Zealand’s Iron-hearted Trees (Te Papa Press, 2005). Both books won Montana Book Awards in the Environment category and Pōhutukawa and Rātā also won the Montana Medal for best non-fiction book. Simpson is unique in his ability to combine the scientific expertise of the trained botanist with a writer’s ability to understand the history of Māori and Pākehā interactions with the environment.

  • Root System Attributes of 12 Juvenile Indigenous Early Colonising Shrub and Tree Species with Potential for Mitigating Erosion in New Zealand M
    Marden et al. New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science (2018) 48:11 New Zealand Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s40490-018-0115-9 Forestry Science RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Root system attributes of 12 juvenile indigenous early colonising shrub and tree species with potential for mitigating erosion in New Zealand M. Marden1*, S. Lambie2 and D. Rowan3 Abstract Background: Restoring erosion-prone land with indigenous species, whether by managed reforestation (planting) or by passive natural reversion, is reliant on knowing which species mix is likely to provide the quickest and most effective mitigation against shallow landslides. In turn, this requires knowledge of differences in growth metrics among plant species, particularly during their formative years. This study presents data on the root development and architecture of 12 of New Zealand’s commonest early colonising indigenous shrub and tree species. These data are crucial to the development of guidelines and policy for land use conversion and future land management options where unmitigated erosion is of increasing concern. Methods: In a plot-based field trial, the growth performance of Coprosma robusta (karamū), Plagianthus regius (ribbonwood), Sophora tetraptera (kōwhai), Pittosporum eugenioides (lemonwood), Pittosporum tenuifolium (kōhūhū), Hoheria populnea (lacebark), Myrsine australis (māpou), Pseudopanax arboreus (fivefinger), Cordyline australis (cabbage tree), Knightia excelsa (rewarewa), Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka), and Coriaria arborea (tutu) was measured annually over five consecutive years. Results: Eleven species developed a heart-shaped root system and Cordyline australis, a tap-rooted system. By year 5, the root/shoot ratio ranged between 0.24 and 0.44, > 99.5% of the total root mass and root length of all species was confined to within 0.5 m of the ground surface and > 73% within 1 radial metre of the root bole.

While all non-native alternatives have been screened against several databases to ensure they are not considered weedy, predicting future behaviour is not an exact science! The only way to be 100% sure is to use ecosourced native species. Published by: Weedbusters © 2010 ISBN: 978-0-9582844-7-9 Get rid of a weed, plant me instead! Many of the weedy species that are invading and damaging our natural areas are ornamental plants that have ‘jumped the fence’ from gardens and gone wild. It costs councils, government departments and private landowners millions of dollars, and volunteers and community groups thousands of unpaid hours, to control these weeds every year. This Plant Me Instead booklet profiles the environmental weeds of greatest concern to those in your region who work and volunteer in local parks and reserves, national parks, bush remnants, wetlands and coastal areas.
