Thread: 223 Scope

@Tahr In the early 90s it was the wonder wood that would replace pine and a bit like fitches, ostriches, goats etc a lot of people dived in before the facts were fully known.
We then lived near hunua and a forester named Ian barton trialled a bit of it, in the right place it grew like a weed but elsewhere it was an abject failure and the pruning regime which was similar to tasse blackwood meant it never caught on. I can remember that the rootstock looked a bit like asparagus.
The only ones I've ever seen have been as ornamentals and there certainly aren't any survivors if Toby did plant them.
