Quality Specimen Trees 2015 Wholesale Tree Catalogue Dear Valued Customer February 2015 Thank you for taking the time to view our 2015 Leafland Tree Catalogue, and we trust that it measures up to your expectations and that you find it helpful, inspirational and an informative reference. We hope it finds a home where it is close at hand for future browsing. It is also available online from our Website, but doesn’t have any prices, so you can show your clients pictures without showing them the cost. The 2015 Leafland Tree Catalogue is easy to read, with all the different trees being listed alphabetically by their botanical names, and if you are unsure what the correct botanical name is, then there is also a list of common names to help, or just call us and we will try our best to help. Leafland is operating from two sites, being our original block in 1 Roberts Line, where we have approximately 10 acres of trees, and our new 20 acre block at Whakarongo which is approximately 3 km away. This does bring logistical challenges, but being only 2 minutes drive away, it works. We have again increased our stock levels, as we have experienced good demand for the past 12 months. When we analysis our sales, most of the top sellers are trees that we sold out of in 2014. Due to the widely published housing shortage, we are predicting that the street tree market will be busy for the next two years and are trying to build up our stock levels. We have introduced a new Pyrus this year called Pyrus calleryana ‘Candelabra’ (see feature page) which is a new introduction from Franks Trees in the South Island. Franks has given us the sole rights to sell this beautiful tree in the North Island. It has a neat upright form, gets covered with white flowers in spring, and then colours well in orange and red autumn colours. We also have a few other new introductions to our 2015 range, like Pseudopanax Moa’s Toes, and take the time to view every page. Another new Leafland initiative for 2015 is the Air-pot growing system. We are very excited about this as we feel it is a greener and greater way to grow trees (see feature page) The concept is that the plastic pots have lots of air holes around the perimeter, which draw the roots out, and then when the roots reach the air, they stop running and spread new roots, effectively making a fibrous root system which establishes quickly into its new site. At the point of dispatch, we will take off the Air-pot (which we will reuse) and ship out the trees in a decomposable biodegradable transport bag, so the tree planter has no rubbish to dispose of. We are very keen to get trees growing in these and are willing to take forward orders for 2016 and grow trees on contract, so please contact us to discuss this ground breaking idea. Our Staff number has risen to around 15 staff now, and we have been fortunate to have on our team Jude Macdonald in the admin/dispatch team (She has worked in a number of nurseries including Matatoa) and Kevin Taylor trimming (Kevin used to work for Sunshine trees, and has returned from a nursery in the South Island) Mary Robertson is sales and knows trees and plants very well, Narina Riddle is in the admin/marketing, Alasdair Currie (Natives) Phil Scott (Spraying), Warren MacPherson helps with the pruning (he has worked for tree nurseries all his life) Andre and Joel Currie are my two sons learning the ropes, and Doug Edwards and Logan Bankston (dispatch) Regan, Poutasi Sefo “Junior”, Neemia, Ben, Malakai all help in the production side of the nursery. We would take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers for your on-going custom and support in the past years and we look forward to supplying you with quality specimen trees in the near future. All the Best for 2015 Ben Currie & All The Team At Leafland Tree Nursery.

P95s are the same as 45L with the P95s being a plastic bag and the 45L being a woven fabric bag with handles for ease of transport. Calliper is the thickness or diameter of the trunk Standard or clean stem refers to the height from the base to first branch. Where STD is in the STD column instead of a measurement, it means there are multiple STD heights avaliable in that grade. Please note that there maybe more grades avaliable then listed of some tree types. = Native = Palm = Edible Here is an example of the above tree terms used in our catalogue: Magnolia stellata - (Star Magnolia) 45L 1.9 Forms a compact, rounded, multi-branched 45L 1.6 1 twiggy bush. Starry pure white fragrant flowers from mid-winter until the leaves grow 45L 2.4 1.5 in spring. Flowers from an early age. Golden 60L 1.8 1.5 autumn leaves. Perfect for the smaller garden. Stds make an excellent street tree. (Deciduous 2m) Page 5 CONTACT US NOW: 0800 532 352 or [email protected] Featured Tree New nationwide release this season. (Exclusive to Leafland in the North Island.) Pyrus calleryana “Candelabra” (Ornamental Upright Pear, PVR) Perhaps the best new deciduous tree to be introduced in the last 10 years. We believe that this tree has the potential to become a best seller due to the following reasons; Landscape Value: A versatile, interesting and superb, upright ornamental pear introduction with a dense habit and attractive foliage. Excellent for sites where lateral space is restricted. A very tough and ornamental specimen tree which is well suited for home gardens, avenue plantings, streets and public areas. Height: 10m at 20 years old. Width: 3m to 4m. Habit: Narrowly conical. Dense. Foliage: Lustrous dark green leaves. Vibrant autumn colourings of red, orange and yellow in all climates. Flowers: A mass of white blossom in early spring on bare branches. Fruit: Small insignificant miniature pears which birds readily devour. Bark: Greyish brown and slightly furrowed. Tolerances: Adaptable to a wide range of site conditions including windy and quite dry conditions, slightly alkaline soils and air pollution. Able to handle intermittently wet, heavy soils. Comments: Grows best in full sun. Less susceptible to breaking in the wind than other Pyrus varieties. We firmly believe that as it becomes known and used in the trade it will become the number one Pyrus of choice.

The long return-intervals of these disturbances, combined with the longevity of many of New Zealand’s tree species, restrict empirical investigations of forest dynamics. In combination with empirical data (e.g. palaeoecological reconstructions), simulation modelling provides a way to address these limitations and to unravel complex ecological interactions. Here we adapt the forest landscape model LandClim to simulate dynamics across the large spatio-temporal scales relevant for New Zealand’s forests. Using the western slope of Mt Hauhungatahi in the central North Island as a case study, we examine forest succession following the Taupo eruption (c. 1700 cal. years BP), and the subsequent emergence of elevational species zonation. Focusing on maximum growth rate and shade tolerance we used a pattern-oriented parameterisation approach to derive a set of life-history parameters that agree with those described in the ecological literature.

    Descriptions of Some Mature Kauri Forests of New Zealand, By

    DESCRIPTIONS OF SOME MATURE KAURI FORESTS OF NEW ZEALAND by Moinuddin Ahmed and John Ogden Department of Botany, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland ABSTRACT A quantitative sampling of 25 mature kauri stands, throughout the species natural limits, was carried out. Each kauri stand is described in terms of its phytosociological attributes (frequency, density and basal area) for kauri and associated canopy and subcanopy species. A species list of plants under 10cm dbh is also given with their relative frequencies in each stand. In all stands kauri comprises most of the basal area. It is associated with 10 different co-dominant species. However, most of the forests have a similar species composition. It is suggested that all these kauri forest samples belong to one overall association. INTRODUCTION The vegetation of various kauri forests has been described by Adam (1889), Cockayne (1908, 1928), Cranwell and Moore (1936), Sexton (1941), Anon (1949) and more recently Barton (1972), Anon (1980) and Ecroyd (1982). A quantitative description of some kauri forests was given by Palmer (1982), Ogden (1983) and Wardle (1984). However, due to extensive past disturbance and milling, most of the above accounts do not describe the natural forest state. Observations on the population dynamics of mature kauri forests were presented by Ahmed and Ogden (1987) and Ogden et al. (1987) while multivariate analyses were performed by Ahmed (1988). However, no comprehensive attempt has yet been made to analyse mature undisturbed kauri forest stands in relation to their species composition. Kauri forests have a restricted distribution in the North Island. Among these remnants, there are few, if any, truly untouched sites.

    New Zealand Plants in Australian Gardens Stuart Read

    New Zealand Plants in Australian Gardens Stuart Read Abstract: (11.6.2013): Raised in a large New Zealand garden full of native trees, plant lover Stuart Read was perhaps hard-wired to notice kiwi plants in Australian gardens. Over time he's pieced together a pattern of waves of fashion in their planting and popularity, reflecting scientific and horticultural expansionism, commercial and familial networks and connections across the Tasman. Stuart will examine a range of NZ plants found in old and younger Australian gardens, try to tease out some of the means by which they got here and why they remain popular. No cabbage, This constellation of asterisks Slaps and rustles Its tough tatters In the brisk breeze; Whispers of times past And ancient histories (Barbara Mitcalfe’s poem, ‘Ti Kouka’ (cabbage tree) catches well the distinctive skyline profile of this ubiquitous New Zealand export (in Simpson, 2000, 213) Introduction / overview New Zealand gardens have been introduced to and cultivated in Australian gardens from early in their ‘discovery’, trade and exchanges between the two colonies. Australian and other explorers, botanists, nurserymen, New Zealand settlers and others searched New Zealand’s coasts and bush, bringing plants into cultivation, export and commerce from early in the settlement’s colonization. New Zealand plants have had their ‘vogue’ periods, including as: A) - Economic plants (various timbers, kauri gum for shellacs and jewellery; flax for fibre, rope, cloth; greens for scurvy; poroporo for the contraceptive ‘the pill’); B) - Exotic ornamental imports into Australian gardens and beyond to English and European conservatories (and some warmer, southern) gardens and parks; C) - Depicted or carved as subjects of botanical and other artworks, commercial commodities.
