5 Easy Steps…… to getting your plantation underway

Stewart McArthur – ‘Meningoort’ Camperdown:
Like many other farms in Western Victoria, Meningoort planted cyprus trees as the least worst option for wind-break plantations. With the arrival of Oz Trees it has become possible to plant and grow native trees very successfully.
At Meningoort with Oz Trees directions help and advice, a very successful program has been undertaken. In the past seven years about 50,000 native trees have been established and are now growing to quite a reasonable size.
The strategy of planning 12 months ahead, spraying, cultivating, ripping, moulding and rotary hoeing to create a fine seedbed had been the key management criteria in giving the young seedlings every chance to thrive after their planting in August-September.
The Oz Trees team do a great job under Mick’s supervision. The most important feature is that the trees actually get planted early and on time. The quality of the work is first class and in the nursery the young trees are grown outdoors and therefore become acclimatised to cold wind and harsh conditions of Western Victoria.
Mick has an ‘infectious enthusiasm’ to get the job done in the field and his motto is ‘get the trees in the ground and let them start growing today’.
Given that half of the cost of a plantation is in the fencing it is important to get the quality, planting preparation 100% so that everything is in favour of the trees from the very beginning.
It is our personal experience that Oz Trees has done a fantastic job at Meningoort. The new plantations are living proof of Oz Trees very good performance.
Oz Trees is a quality outfit which will do everything in their power to establish new plantations for farmers who wish to add capital value and shelter belts to their farming enterprise.
Kate McEachern – Wingeel:
We have contracted Oz Trees to do our tree planting for the past seven years during that time we have planted over 67,000 trees and have been thrilled with the results. The ripping, mounding and rotary hoeing has given the trees every chance to grow, even in drought years we have had wonderful results.
Over the years we have refined the species list coming up with the best mix of trees to suit the conditions on our property. One of the most pleasing things is often we have trees flowering within two years of planting, much to the delight of the local bird population. The other major benefit that we are seeing from our extensive planting program is the shelter we have gained for our livestock, particularly for the sheep during lambing. There is no way we could have planted as many trees without the expert help of Oz Trees and we would be happy to recommend them to anyone thinking about planting trees
