Hi, we've been contemplating clearing a large parcel of naitive bushland (jarrah marri grass trees etc) to plant a fruit tree crop with ground cover crop as well. However clearing all this land is not really what we want to be doing.
Is there another way?
Does anyone know of decent earning crops that we could under plant with minimuml understory clearing?
Cheers

Hi Bryant
Thankyou for this informative info!
Yes the juneberries was something I was thinking about trialling . They are rare and priced accordingly unfortunately.

Hi Stephen the scientific name is Erythrina.
You can also grow from giant branches.
However, I've decided to plant some Kei apples also and see how they go.

Hello, I'm wondering if a food tree (to 5m or more) that can tolerate full shade year round exists?
Thankyou

Just wanted to say Thankyou again for the helpful suggestions. We are going to get some Coral Trees and hedge them. They're super spiny. Semi deciduous, so we'll plant a second row In front to make a heavier blockout.

Unfortunately, (or fortunately) Western Australia has stricter quarantine regulations compared with the rest of the Australia and it appears that Elaeagnus is restricted.

Ghankyou so much for all you fast responses.
Osage is deciduous, Itgorney acacia is a banned weed, honey locust is deciduous, olives mentioned are also a weed here in Western Australia.

So, really I'm looking for;
- thorns
- evergreen
- height to at least 3.5m
- available in Western Australia
- fire retardant
- drought tolerant
- fast growinggy
- easily propergstable from cuttings

Does such a plant exist...?

Thank you again I hope to contribute some to these forums as well if I can

Hello
I am wondering if anyone can suggest a thorny barrier tree or plant that is both fire resistant and drought tolerant?

Thank you kindly
