Autumn is the best time to plant native farm trees in Windellama,
If frosts have already started and you are planting out colder sites along
gully and creek lines make sure your potted tubestock have been
slowly hardened off, if the correct species have been chosen most
will survive the coldest conditions. Hill slopes and hill tops are a few
degrees warmer but can have less moisture and poorer soil so choosing
the most appropriate species will maximise your success.
For deciduous trees it's best to wait until mid winter to plant out.

The following two species have been successful in Windellama.

Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans)

This is the one and only true Mountain Ash, a native to Victoria and Tasmania only
and does not occur naturally in NSW, the trees in the photograph were planted around
10 years ago and the tallest is now 45 ft high, the site for these was chosen carefully,
they are in a black soil gully that is home to tall White Stringybarks and are
protected from the wind in all directions by the surrounding slopes and remaining
stringybarks. The timber of Mountain Ash is marketed under the name " Tasmanian Oak"

 A Mountain Ash tree was the tallest tree in the world standing at 470ft high (143m) 
If the trees in the photographs get to half this height they will be visible from most parts of 
Windellama and beyond.
