[CANUFNET] mycorrhizae

[Mark Peterson]

Yes I agree with Philip van Wassenaer. (See below) In fact I just read an article on the introduction of mycorrhizae. It said that each site and individual tree species have different associations so unless you know which ones are needed, I would suggest in addition mulching with wood mulch, and /or leaves or  introducing some undisturbed local soils into the planting hole.

  If you are going to use mycorrhizae , it should be a mix of local strains. A commercially available product manufactured down in the states may be of little value to your soils in T bay. I would spend my money on digging a bigger, wider hole and providing water to the tree!! Then prune it at 3, 5, 10 and 15 years.better bang for the buck!
