Kia Ora! Greetings from the Naki! We have found this very helpful and are currently planting a 170m driveway with it on both sides. How long does it take to bush up as well, as what you have in your video. Any fertilizers that you would recommend?
@ianwilsongardendesign2236 4 ай бұрын
Hi David - A good choice for low maintenance - I would put plants about 1 to 1.2m apart so you can get a quicker cover to suppress weeds earlier. I would allow three to four years to get to similar to the video ( depending on the situation soil etc ). - Condition the soil with a layer of good compost or a decent hole for planting and add compost to it, this will give the plant a good start. You could add a slow-release fertiliser at the same time as planting. (you should be able to buy plants in small 0.2 - 1 lite pots - Plant in autumn to spring - to get established before hot dry summer. Keep and eye on watering for the first summer - once established should be fine.

Somehow I was able to get my hands on some of this plant material here in the USA! I believe florists are now using this plants foliage to add texture to floral arrangements. Well low and behold the cutting of the mirror plant started rooting in the vase! So now I have 2 rooted cuttings of this plant. Considering I don’t see this anywhere else besides in floral arrangements I think it would be quite cool to have a plant that’s very rare in this part of the world. Surely you see it all the time in NZ But here it’s a nice addition to my landscape. I keep mine in a pot since obviously the regular frosts we get here every winter would kill these things outside lol

I recently came back from a wonderful three-week trip to New Zealand. My wife and I have been in love with ferns for decades now. We brought back some silver fern spores, and we hope to grow them into trees on our property here in Allentown PA USA. I have a sunroom that never drops below 4C. Do you have any advice for us?
@ianwilsongardendesign2236 5 ай бұрын
Good luck Paul with the fern propagation. The silver fern is a beautiful tree fern. I haven't grown ferns from spores I just usually buy the plants fully grown. But in this video, it shows you the procedure. - The dark art of propagating ferns from spores | Wow to | Gardening Australia. I would just be wary of not introducing a foreign plant to your local area check with your local authorities on what is legal to grow. New Zealand has introduced many new species which have become problems and get classified as noxious weeds as they out-compete the naturally grown natives.

Lovely video, thank you! In Maori, as I have just learned, "au" is pronounced more like an O-sound. So, it is more accurate to pronounce it "Ko-ri". I am lucky enough to have a Kauri surfboard made in northland in about 1920 - from timber cut in the late 1870s. The grain of the wood does not deviate more than 3mm over the whole 1.7m length, and 45cm width. It is 16mm thick. And it is hard like stone! For your viewers; please don't plant a Kauri (or Totara, or Kahikatea) in your garden. Although they are wonderful, and amazing, you will create an enormous problem for someone in two to three hundred years when they have a gigantic forest tree taking over their whole property, and a $50,000 bill to cut it down safely. In general, it is a woefully short-sighted idea to plant any forest-sized tree in a residential area: your neighbours will hate you for it. If you want to know what to plant in your new garden, take a look over your fence, and see what's doing well over there. :)
@ianwilsongardendesign2236 6 ай бұрын
Thank Chris for your comment, pronunciation of names is always a bit of a minefield - The Japanese gardens and names are also not easy with slightly different vowel sounds. . I agree about the big native trees. I just saw some Puriri trees planted as street trees near me, and having seen full-size ones - I wondered if they had considered that aspect. With the speed of growth and eventual size of the kauri there will be a few factors like- soil etc, but eventually, all going well you can see how big they get the big one in the video was about a thousand years old.

Is there any particular free-draining soil you would recommend for these plants? Also, would a ceramic pot be better than a plastic one?
@ianwilsongardendesign2236 6 ай бұрын
In their natural habitat they grow on the sides of cliffs /coastal - so I think free draining would be good, they apparently can take some neglect as the person I bought my one from had said she had it in a plastic pot for several years and never did anything to it - quite root bound. I do prefer clay pots and the others I have seen growing them have them doing well in medium to large clay/ceramic pots. Hope that helps. One expert on them said if you want them to flower throw some seawater on them once in a while. I'm not doing that just in case I kill it. Good luck :)

Metrosideros is such a beautiful tree. Would love to grow them in the southeastern U.S. I’ve heard the more cold hardy metrosideros umbellata may be able to tolerate the winters here, but I haven’t seen anyone try it yet. If I can find a specimen, I’ll give it a try.
@ianwilsongardendesign2236 7 ай бұрын
The southern one ( Metrosideros umbellata would be the best bet for colder areas). I bought a ( Metrosideros excelsa )for my garden as a specimen and it died in the second year when it got hit by a severe frost. The new growth is especially vulnerable - the self seeded ones seem to have toughed it out - (we don't get snow) - You could possibly grow it in pot and bring inside over the colder times of the year . Worth a try
