We were very luck to receive 2 heritage fruit trees on Friday from Food Resilience Network in Christchurch. The varieties that we got are suitable to the high rainfall that we get on the West Coast. Thanks again to Tessa and Micheal for delivering these to us and helping us with the planting. We are really looking forward to looking after them and watching them grow.
If anyone in our community have any old heritage fruit trees growing on the farm or on property around the Hokitika area we would love to know about them as further on in the project we are going to learn how to graft trees.

Awesome work Ruma Tui. I a sure you will have fruit from the trees for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for the school. Marnie has some baby Kowhai trees to bring up to the school to be planted. Maybe each class room could plant one each.
ReplyDeleteThat is SUPER Ruma Tui! Kaniere students will be appreciating your hard work for many years to come. Good on you for beginning the apple legacy at Kaniere School 🍏!
