APPENDIX
E General Notes: 1. This is intended to be a general list of hardy plants only. For precise information on climatic suitability of plants, consult local plant nurseries and relevant literature. 2. Plants found in old cemeteries but prone to become nuisance weeds have been excluded from this list. e.g. Privet sp. 3. Species listed have been found on cemetery sites in New South Wales. Note: Eucalyptus species are not commonly found as ‘planted’ species in old cemeteries, but frequently occur naturally in unused portions of a site or on the fringes of cemeteries in bushland or rural areas. These trees and other indigenous species are appropriate to use as a background planting in these locations and often form an important part of the character of old burial grounds. CODE |
