UPDATE - COMMUNITY FRUIT TREES PLANTED..

You will be pleased to learn NCC planted 200 community fruit trees last year.

Council first started planting fruit trees around our city's parks & reserves 25 years ago, with the most recent plantings being in Marco Reserve, Stanley Cres., Cattle Market Reserve. In previous years fruit & nut trees were planted along Orchard Stream esplanade reserve, Corder Park, Wolfe Reserve, Te Ata Reserve, Bledisloe North Reserve, Wigzell Park, Centennial Park and Vosper Reserve. Also in Stoke along Orphanage Stream, Orchard Stream, Main Road Stoke and the Railway Reserve.

There are 40 parks with fruit trees in them throughout the city.

The plantings range from fruit & nut trees & herbs, plus feijoas, figs, hazelnuts, olives, pears, persimmons and rosemary.
