Yeah. 17 00:00:56,293 --> 00:00:59,373 Speaker 2: Hey, I've just thought i'd chuck a few plants together 18 00:00:59,413 --> 00:01:01,293 Speaker 2: that high on my list that I'm going to be 19 00:01:01,453 --> 00:01:05,813 Speaker 2: is looking at for printing, foot planting now, and also 20 00:01:05,853 --> 00:01:08,293 Speaker 2: a couple of bugs that would need real care at 21 00:01:08,293 --> 00:01:11,213 Speaker 2: the moment. So let's start off with Noodu kaka, which 22 00:01:11,253 --> 00:01:15,573 Speaker 2: is the kaka beak from if you like tough, sort 23 00:01:15,613 --> 00:01:20,373 Speaker 2: of gismone area, if you like, yes, fabulous plant, actually 24 00:01:20,933 --> 00:01:24,813 Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant. It's the plant that James Cook saw when 25 00:01:24,813 --> 00:01:29,253 Speaker 2: he went towards towards then part of the of the 26 00:01:29,293 --> 00:01:31,653 Speaker 2: of the of the globe, and he saw it flowering 27 00:01:31,693 --> 00:01:35,453 Speaker 2: all over the mountains. It's gorgeous red and it attracts 28 00:01:35,533 --> 00:01:39,533 Speaker 2: nectivorous birds. Honestly, it is if you want birds in 29 00:01:39,533 --> 00:01:41,973 Speaker 2: the garden too, this is the one to use, I suppose, 30 00:01:42,013 --> 00:01:43,853 Speaker 2: because you get all these creatures coming to you and 31 00:01:43,893 --> 00:01:46,813 Speaker 2: they say, oh, thank you now to kaka. Brilliant to eat, 32 00:01:46,893 --> 00:01:51,533 Speaker 2: always good. So that's number one. Second one is because 33 00:01:51,533 --> 00:01:53,453 Speaker 2: I used to be a trustee of Project Crimson. Do 34 00:01:53,493 --> 00:01:58,013 Speaker 2: you remember that lot, Well, they were the people that 35 00:01:58,133 --> 00:02:04,533 Speaker 2: actually saved Gawa from up north and and of course 36 00:02:04,533 --> 00:02:08,253 Speaker 2: belongs to the genus metro seed ross, which means iron 37 00:02:08,373 --> 00:02:11,493 Speaker 2: heighted tree. The wood is so high that they used 38 00:02:11,533 --> 00:02:14,893 Speaker 2: to make all sorts of ships and ship parts from it. 39 00:02:14,893 --> 00:02:19,213 Speaker 2: It's that hard. But anyway, there's a little metroceedras called Carminia, 40 00:02:19,293 --> 00:02:23,773 Speaker 2: which is a really beautiful red shrub if you like, 41 00:02:24,893 --> 00:02:29,653 Speaker 2: and it has small versions of poulticaua flowers as dense 42 00:02:30,093 --> 00:02:33,653 Speaker 2: as PoTA kawa, but flowering right now. And there's some 43 00:02:33,733 --> 00:02:36,093 Speaker 2: strange thing about that Carminia. Jack and that is that 44 00:02:36,133 --> 00:02:39,653 Speaker 2: when you use seeds, you will get climbers, so you 45 00:02:39,693 --> 00:02:42,573 Speaker 2: get a climbing rata if you like. And if you 46 00:02:42,813 --> 00:02:45,773 Speaker 2: and if you take cuttings, you get shrubs. They are 47 00:02:45,813 --> 00:02:49,533 Speaker 2: a bit lower, of course. Yeah. Another core one, and 48 00:02:49,573 --> 00:02:53,493 Speaker 2: this is not a native, is Verea tuba or rhododendron tuba, 49 00:02:53,653 --> 00:02:56,613 Speaker 2: which is in a creature from the Papua New Guinea 50 00:02:56,853 --> 00:03:00,053 Speaker 2: and it's one of the most smelly rhododendrons you can have. 51 00:03:00,173 --> 00:03:04,493 Speaker 2: It's gorgeous. Just leave it at that. Let's go to 52 00:03:04,573 --> 00:03:08,733 Speaker 2: the bugs. Lemon tree is on the wing. Now I've 53 00:03:09,333 --> 00:03:11,293 Speaker 2: talked about this before, I do it so every time 54 00:03:11,293 --> 00:03:14,493 Speaker 2: at this time of the year, no more pruning citrus 55 00:03:14,533 --> 00:03:18,253 Speaker 2: trees because when you make a cut in a citrus tree, 56 00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:21,413 Speaker 2: those little borers are big borer beetles. They will lay 57 00:03:21,413 --> 00:03:23,893 Speaker 2: eggs on the cut and they can get in, and 58 00:03:23,933 --> 00:03:28,493 Speaker 2: that means that these larvae will literally make huge tunnels 59 00:03:28,493 --> 00:03:31,373 Speaker 2: in the lemon tree. So this is your your way. 60 00:03:31,693 --> 00:03:34,933 Speaker 2: Don't do it now, do it again later on after 61 00:03:35,053 --> 00:03:39,533 Speaker 2: it's all done in autumn. So that's important. And finally 62 00:03:39,973 --> 00:03:42,853 Speaker 2: it's time now because the apples are flowering for coddling 63 00:03:42,893 --> 00:03:47,973 Speaker 2: moth control mad x three m A d E x 64 00:03:48,133 --> 00:03:51,613 Speaker 2: three is the only material that really works well and 65 00:03:51,653 --> 00:03:56,813 Speaker 2: it is actually a virus that kills the caterpillars of 66 00:03:56,173 --> 00:04:02,013 Speaker 2: those moths, so it's completely organic. It supportant, it's supported 67 00:04:02,053 --> 00:04:04,773 Speaker 2: by key industries and you can get from Farmlands or 68 00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:07,813 Speaker 2: Horty Center and Hawks Bay Good to grow New Zealand 69 00:04:07,853 --> 00:04:08,853 Speaker 2: all their love places. 70 00:04:08,893 --> 00:04:12,733 Speaker 1: Okay, hey, thanks Summer for more From Saturday Morning with 71 00:04:12,893 --> 00:04:15,613 Speaker 1: Jack Tame, Listen live to News Talks ed B from 72 00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:19,133 Speaker 1: nine am Saturday, or follow the podcast on iHeartRadio.
