Précis This book describes some 300 species that can be grown in South Australia, and the economic opportunities they provide. The uses of the plants described include timber, firewood, bush food, oils, cut-flowers, seed and fodder. Each plant listing includes plant description and distribution, uses, growth requirements, management and economics. Evaluation The species described in this book could be grown in a much wider area than SA, including western NSW and Vic, SW Qld, and parts of Tasmania, WA and NT. This is an invaluable guide for low rainfall farm forestry. Includes species native to SA as well as outside the State. Very clear layout makes it easy to find the information you need.
