Roux Pecans set to expand the orchard

As indicated earlier in the blog we are planning on expanding the orchard. The first thing to do is clear the Acacia Mimosa scrub that can be seen in the earlier pictures. (10 June 2007)

George gets busy with the chain saw and is assisted by Gansie .



















The thorns of Acacia Mimosa are long, sharp, dangerous and even spectacular. Sometimes 8cm long!! The pom pom yellow flowers are pretty too. Indicative of the fact that we have had good Festive Season rains.
