Tree Lucerne (aka Tagasaste) Seedlings

FREE express shipping across Australia

Tree lucerne has long been used for animal fodder. In Australia it has been planted around homesteads for windbreak and decorative purposes and shade in fowl yards, and most often used for fodder. 

Tree lucerne, being an evergreen, can provide green feed at any time of the year. However, experience suggests that its main role is the provision of high quality fodder during summer and early autumn. 

Tree lucerne grows well in a range of environments and, once established, handles climates ranging from those of the hot western wheat belt to those of the cool tablelands. As a small plant, though, it can be frost sensitive. It is adapted to a range of soils, preferring the more freely drained ones, but it does not do well on low lying sites subject to waterlogging. It may be able to cope with at least moderately acid soils.

Uses:

• Fodder
• Shelter
• Timber
• Bee forage
• Agroforestry
• Conservation and reclamation
• Landscaping
