Dragons Walk Video, Raintrees Native and Rainforest Gardens, Diamond Beach, Mid North Coast, NSW

Consistent excellent soaking rains on almost every day in December 2020 has provided just the strike back response needed for Raintrees Native and Rainforest Gardens following the devastating drought of 2019. That drought, possibly our worst on record, killed a lot of our mature Bangalow Palms, not to mention countless tree species and even many epiphytes. 
Throughout 2020 we worked tirelessly to remove resultant fire risk from the property for fear that the summer of 2020 would be a duplicate of that of 2019.
Fortunately that concern proved unfounded with meteorological forecasts predicting the return of a La Niña.
It's been many years, if ever, that we've had such regular daily consistent rainfall that soaks in rather than flooding through the property doing potentially enormous damage.
With the palms removed we've replaced them with hardy rainforest trees and the December rains have given them the dream start to their existence.
With more planting during January we are nearing the end of canopy planting on the property and the focus will turn to understorey planting and positioning of epiphytes on increasing numbers of suitably receptive rainforest trees.
Of course with all the rain a myriad of fungi, moss and lichen species are slowly making their way back and we now hope for a return to more regular rainfall for the next few years.
