PARKWOOD
PINES specialises in Leylandii conifers, growing the 'Leighton
Green' and 'Castlewellan
Gold' variety. The plants are grown in a natural environment
and have had exposure to direct sunlight and frost conditions. This
effectively hardens juvenile stock for a more successful planting.
These trees, once planted will achieve a consistent, even growth.
Whether
for windbreaks on your farm or privacy on your block - Leylandii
Pines are an excellent choice. Allowed to grow to their mature
height, a row of Leylandii conifers form an impressive windbreak.
"Their even growth and consistent conical shape is an advantage",
advises Graham & Michele Hayes of "PARKWOOD PINES".
PARKWOOD
PINES sell their plants at 60 cm - 80 cm of height when they are
twelve months old. "This is the ideal height to plant".
Planting tube stock is not recommended with conifers, unlike natives
which do extremely well as tube stock. Leylandii's can reach 6
metres high in 10 years.
PARKWOOD
PINES guarantees optimum quality and consistent growth of all
stock.
PARKWOOD
PINES advises that correct preparation of the soil will give your
plants the best start. Ideally, the soil should be ripped to 60cm
deep along the proposed tree line, if possible, rip twice prior
to planting.
Plants
have a greater growth rate if the ground is ripped. By ripping,
plants establish a deeper root system more quickly. This can benefit
trees in withstanding times of drought.
Sowing
Alternative
- Plant
in a large hole (40 cm width, 50-60 cm depth).
-
Back fill hole leaving a 3-inch trough.
-
Water in well and keep soil moist until tree is established.
(2 years old)
-
Mulch tree with either wood chips or straw. This will limit
watering and retain soil moisture for a longer period.
PARKWOOD
PINES advises planting in Autumn or Winter for best growth results
due to likelihood of rain, causing moisture to penetrate into
the soil. However Spring planting is also possible but trees may
require occasional watering throughout the Summer period to ensure
survival. When planting Leylandii's, the top of the root ball
should be 3 inches below the ground surface. A slow release fertilizer
can be used but is not essential. Mulching can greatly benefit
initial establishment, as it helps in retaining moisture.
By
planting Leylandii's two metres apart, a single row should form
a screen within four years. However a double row of Leylandii's
planted in a zigzag pattern will create a dense screen more quickly.
If
you are concerned about wet areas on your property PARKWOOD PINES
recommends Lombardy Poplars.
These trees thrive in moist areas and additionally; their bright
yellow Autumn foliage is very attractive. The contrast between
the Leylandii Pines
and Poplars complement each other.
Leylandii Pines are very versatile and would compliment any acreage.
There are many advantages in growing these trees:
- Their
very fast and dense growth can make a strong architectural impact
to your property.
-
A row of Leylandii Pines can provide privacy and absorb noise.
-
Leylandii Pines sown as a windbreak will give shelter up to
5 times its height.
-
Cost effective with 99% strike rate.
-
Very hardy trees (tolerate extreme cold and long dry seasons)
-
Grow in a range of soil conditions.
-
Suit coastal and dryer regional areas (Wagga, Forbes, Dubbo)
-
Leylandii Pines can be trimmed into a Hedge.
