Eucalypts at Kiteroa

Filed under: Hackfalls Arboretum, Waerenga-o-kuri — Dick Bos @ 11:28 pm

This morning I continued my inventory of trees that are not (properly) labeled.

I worked around the western entrance of the Rhodo-project. Marked the trees without labels with a blue piece of rope. Also marked a number of trees with old and worn out labels.

It rained all morning and most of the afternoon.

In the afternoon I paid a visit to Kiteroa. See my pages Kiteroa and Around the homestead of Kiteroa. They have some nice gumtrees over there. Next time I’ll try to find out which species it is.

On our way back home we saw a beautifull flowering Aesculus californica at the backside of the cattleyard.
