What we have learned working in Ku-ring-gai gardens: timing, plant choice and soil, written for the conditions here rather than a generic climate.
Most pruning mistakes are timing mistakes, not technique mistakes. Here is the North Shore pruning calendar we work to, species by species.
Deep shade with root competition is the hardest brief on the shore. These are the plants that hold up, and the ones that quietly fail.
Two very different soils sit under Ku-ring-gai, often within one street. Knowing which you have changes what you plant and how you feed it.
