Climate Ready plants grown within the YAN Landcare nurseries were sorted this week in preparation for planting out into our Climate Ready major and supporting trial sites during Autumn 2021. Plants grown from seed from local regions, some of which included Captains Flat, Pierce's Creek, Yass, Bookham and Canberra were selected for each of the three plants: Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow box), Acacia deanei (Dean's wattle) and Dodonaea viscosa (Hop bush).
Plants grown from our admix sources are from hotter drier and colder wetter regions some of which included Henty, Moree, Coonabarabran, Lithgow, Urana, Hillston and Tarcutta.
There are a range of Climate Ready trial plants available for Landcare members if they wish to plant them during Autumn-Winter 2021. Please watch for further updates on the YAN Facebook page.
The photos below include some of the Climate ready nursery team members plus a view of the root structure of a Eucalyptus melliodora grown from locally collected seed from the Yass region and admix seed from the Moree region.
