The Wollemi Pine

order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each

Paperback

Author: James Woodford

Published by: The Text Publishing Company Pty Ltd

Now in a new format, this is a brilliant debut by a wonderful popular science writer. James Woodford, the Sydney Morning Herald’s award-winning science writer, has written an enthralling detective story about evolution and natural history, the freak survival of a species that offers a window into an ecosystem 100 million years old.

Millions of years ago, our continent was covered with a dense forest of pine. As our climate changed, eucalyptus became the dominant species. The ancient pines were thought to have become extinct millions of years ago.

In mid-1994 a National Parks & Wildlife ranger abseiling in the Wollemi Wilderness outside Sydney, came upon an extraordinary sight: a canyon filled with massive pines. These trees towered above the surrounding foliage, with fern-like leaves and peculiar lumpy bark.

What he accidentally discovered that day has become one of the century’s most important botanical finds. The Director of ... more

Pruning and Training Systems for Modern Olive Growing

order quantity

NZ$ 85.00 each

Paperback

Author: R. Gucci

Published by: CSIRO Publishing

Pruning olive trees is quite different from pruning other fruit trees of the temperate zone because of their biological peculiarities. Errors in pruning may result in yeild losses or higher cultivation costs. Pruning also determines the training system which in turn is one of the major factors for successful tree performance and orchard profitability. This text summarizes recent information and explains the basic concepts at a practical level. It should allow the reader, whether experienced horticulturist or beginner, to develop their own skills and pruning strategy.

Blueberries, Cranberries, and Other Vacciniums

order quantity

NZ$ 82.95 each

Hardback

Author: Jennifer Trehane

Published by: Timber Press

The latest addition to our exciting new Plant Collector Guide series, published in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society, this book offers a wealth of information and advice on growing blueberries, cranberries, lingonberries, and dozens of lesser-known relatives otherwise known as vacciniums. Jennifer Trehane explores the historical, ornamental, and edible aspects of Vaccinium, a diverse genus of more than 400 species. The culinary importance of these berry-bearing plants is well known, but too few people are aware of their ornamental potential. Many of the plants described in these pages have brightly colored young growth, flowers that are sometimes scented, and either evergreen or deciduous leaves with brilliant fall color. Some vacciniums become large, bold shrubs, while others remain small and compact, making them ideal for containers and small gardens. The author lists dozens of title-known species deserving more ... more

Humane Livestock Handling

order quantity

NZ$ 60.00 each

Paperback

Author: Temple Grandin

Published by: Storey Publishing LLC

Temple Grandin, one of the most influential advocate of humane livestock treatment, has spent her life developing stress-free facility designs and standards of humane management. In an environment of growing concern regarding large factory farming practices, Grandin is a voice of reason explaining the benefits of keeping animals calm through every phase of their lives - benefits that include safer working conditions, higher yields of marketable meat, better-quality meat, and, of course, more humane conditions for the animals.
The first half of Humane Livestock Handling reviews the natural behaviour and temperament of cattle. Working with the animals' natural instincts, Grandin describes low-stress methods for moving cattle on pastures, paddocks, and feedlot pens. Slow, controlled movement reduces stress and fear, resulting in calmer, healthier cattle. They eat better, are less likely to become sick, and do not run into fences ... more

Paperback

Author: Hiller

Published by: David & Charles

Precise naming of plants is essential to be able to identify them accurately and most gardeners have at least some knowledge of 'botanical Latin'. But a plant's full botanical name does much more than give it a unique label. The name can often tell you where the plant originated, who discovered it, what colour it is, and much else besides.
