Nature strip planting

Blog

To help with Melbourne’s stock of street olives, we have planted 6 new nature strip olives! Photos to come soon…

Hats off to our lovely client! What a great initiative! These few trees, if pruned properly, loved and cared for could live for centuries, producing tons of delicious olives…

Check out this picture of a tree radio carbon dated to be 2000 years old!

Planting trees on your nature strip is the best thing you could for your neighborhood… but you need to chose wisely!

These are a few trees I have seen grown successfully on median strips or nature strips in Melbourne:

Olives

Loquat

Plums

Apple

Pear

Lilly Pilly

Wallnuts

Mulberry

Figs
