jennifer starts with ... We are considering planting some tuckeroo trees as a screening plant on the south australian coast of Middleton near Victor harbour. They are being planted as a street tree in a very neighbouring town but these trees are not right on the coast. How much wind and salt spray can they tolerate? Many thanks | About the Author Jenn Middleton sa 17th March 2015 9:42am #UserID: 11467 Posts: 4 View All Jenn's Edible Fruit Trees |
Anthony says... Hi Jennifer. Where I live is right on the coast and there are heaps of tuckeroo trees planted here. They are extremely tough and obviously tolerate the salt along the coast fairly well as there is always a breeze here, sometimes excessive breeze. Not sure how they would handle surf spray if you are right on the water but they grow quite well along the esplanade here. The wind does tend to shape them so they may need to be staked until they are a bit bigger. They are a beautiful shade tree with some trees here 10m x10m in area. Hope this helps. | About the Author Anthony Queensland 17th March 2015 7:04pm #UserID: 9188 Posts: 92 View All Anthony's Edible Fruit Trees |
