Haha, I am on week 2 of enforced bachelordom. My wife is visiting her family overseas for 6 weeks. Wow, the house is quiet. I'm taking my little one to Fiji next week as I promised him an overseas holiday before he gets to the hulking teenager stage. I've planted 200 kanuka over winter to hopefully offset some carbon.
Kanuka is my favourite tree!
Yeah, I love it too. It grows better on dry sites than manuka and is a similarly good pioneer though the land where I am seems to want to become a totara forest. They pop up everywhere.
Yeah kanuka is a bit of a nursery tree as well. They do a great job of protecting the other natives. Then when the totara and kauri etc are grown up the kanuka start to die off.
They have beautiful wood too. But part of me wishes they would just live forever.
