This plant pack consists of a planting plan, plants, fertiliser tablets, and plant protectors.
This plant pack is designed for shelterbelt purposes. It includes both deciduous and evergreen species, providing both shelter and minimal shading over winter.
Crowsnest poplar is primarily used for shelterbelts and windbreaks, because of its narrow habit and fast growth. As a deciduous tree, this is great for a shelter planted east to west, as in winter the loss of leaves will miminse shading on the south side of the planting, while still creating a windbreak. Crowsnest is moderately resistant to rust, drought tolerant, and is best suited to drier, inland locations as it has a low salt tolerance. It will grow to a height of 20-30 metres, and is frost hardy. Phormium cookianum is extremely hardy and tolerates most conditions. It is planted at the base of the poplar to create a year round low shelter, or privacy screen for the road. Cookianum is smaller than Phormium tenax, therefore won’t push out your fences as far.
It will grow to a height of 20-30 metres.
The planting plan is for an area 4.5m wide x 50m long.
