Great work Joe!! God is blessing you for this hard work!

Great project Joe! Keen to see it progress. I'm growing my own seedlings flax, kouka, kahika, tawa but I have nowhere to plant them yet.

Expat watching from the UK.Absolutely wonderful work.

We all need to ask ourselves ,how do we leave the earth better than we found it…this man knows the answer ..

I planted kahikatea amongst kaikuia grass here in Northland. They aren't growing very fast. Interesting about the male and female.

Wonderful. Good luck you and your family! Thank you for sharing this video...

Projects like this remind us how important it is to care for the environment. The New Forest is growing into something truly special, and I can’t wait to see how it looks in another six months!

Seeing these updates gives me so much hope for reforestation projects. Thank you for sharing the progress-it's a great reminder of how impactful even small steps can be toward future-proofing our planet!

Nature is healing 🌳.

Such a great project.

Nature always finds a way to bounce back when we take care of it. The New Forest looks alive and thriving now.

This is beautiful!

Love how it's turning out!

Amazing progress!

The transformation is incredible 🌱.

Six months later, and it already looks like a whole new place!

The dedication to planting native trees really shows here. It’s amazing work!

It's inspiring to see how much can change in just 6 months.

This really highlights the importance of native tree planting. Well done!

I’d love to visit this forest one day-looks so peaceful.

Hebe or Koromiko is the first plant.

great video massive change amazing to see.

It's a Koromiko Joe. Today, Koromiko is used as a cure for diarrhea and dysentery. It is still widely used by both Maori and Pakeha.

What a legend. Thanks for the tour fullas

I've just had my first karaka seeds germinate ! I'm in Greymouth & the big karaka on blaketpwn tip-head has seed I collected last season, just in case other coasters are interested in doing the same. I put them on pots & left them three months, over wintre. November they have germinated lawrie metcalf is right, in his 'propagation of nz native plants' bk, when he suggested tall pots, as the root system is longer ! Guess that's because it's a large tree. Fast growing possibly. Beautiful shiny leaves. Now the challenge is keeping them growing and healthy. I didn't know they are frosttender ! Thanks Joe

Thanks Joe for the lacebark info, love it's delicate open form. Loving your videos, such great tips ! regeneration & creating tree nurseries has such purpose & is so much fun. Keep u the gd work joe

nicely done.

Hi Joe, I have seen pigeons feeding on trees with white flowers. The pigeons seem to eat them what trees are those. I could do with something to attract pigeons down the back of my section.

Thanks Joe I'll plant a couple

I live in a coastal city and in 1994 i purchased a house on a large bare section. I planted a RewaRewa with no concept of how big it would get. It proved to be an amazing haven for birds, particularly for sparrows and waxeyes. Sadly on a recent open home visit, the section is as bare as it once was.

This video really cleared up my confusion about which trees are low-maintenance and still look great. I love how practical the advice is! I’ll definitely be planting some of these suggestions.

Really good breakdown of what works best for different garden types! New Zealand has such diverse landscapes, so it’s good to get these specifics. 🌳

Great video, learned a lot.

Awesome guide!

I had no idea about native species in NZ, this really opened my eyes! 🌿

I never knew about the different types of trees that grow well in NZ, this is so useful! 🌱

I appreciate the focus on sustainability. Choosing native trees that support local wildlife is a priority for me, and this video gave me some great options to look into for my garden

The tips on seasonal growth are something I’ll keep in mind when planting. It’s important to know what to expect through the year.

I always struggled choosing the right tree for my garden, especially considering the weather patterns here in New Zealand. This video was exactly what I needed! The suggestions make a lot of sense for our climate and soil.

Fantastic info on how to deal with pests in New Zealand gardens! So many trees I’ve considered had issues with that. 🌲

Great info!

Very helpful.

The tips on climate and soil are great-I'll definitely consider that when choosing a tree. It’s so important to plant what thrives in your area.
