Several varieties
of Eucalyptus were planted there, as: “grandis”,
“saligna”
and
also the real hardwood “Citriodora”.
Eventually to assist with the maintenance of the farm,
Eucalyptus
logs, poles, timber, firewood and Christmas trees were sold
locally.
Due
to difficulties in obtaining Cunninghamia seedlings
locally, in order to
expand the Christmas trees operation, William Hering contacted a friend,in Hong
Kong, who promptly provided “Cunninghamia “
seeds.
The germination of these were
extremely satisfactory. |
