Feijoa Trees Not Forever
Through Neighbourly someone in Upper Hutt wants someone else to give him a young fiejoa tree they no longer want.
Which reminds of the fellow in Wallaceville Estate who has a row of 16 feijoa trees planted to create a kind of hedge on the front of his fenceless front lawn. They are in below par condition. I don't expect any of them to suddenly go well where they are. The soil and lack of it and the rocks very little below the soil are a problem in the estate.
The Estate chap should be conceding defeat and gifting the trees but I don't expect he really knows much about gardening.
Feijoa trees are about the cheapest tree with edible fruit one can buy. Bunnings have them as little as $7.29 for a 100mm high tree and a more developed 3L variety at $26.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
