{"product_id":"ngaio","title":"Ngaio","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNgaio (Myoporum laetum) earns its keep on the sites that few other trees will tolerate. It's a fast-growing coastal native with glossy, resinous leaves and delicate pale purple flowers, and it copes with wind and salt about as well as any tree available in New Zealand, making it a genuine problem-solver for exposed beachside properties.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes ngaio particularly useful is speed. Where many shelter trees take years to make any real impact, ngaio provides shade and shelter quickly, giving you a head start on softening a harsh site or protecting other plantings while they establish. It's a tree that does the heavy lifting on a difficult section so the rest of the garden has a chance to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne important note: ngaio is a toxic plant, so it's worth keeping this in mind when deciding where to plant it and how you manage it around children, pets or livestock.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSowing and Growing Ngaio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNgaio seed will germinate without any pretreatment, but 4 weeks of cold stratification beforehand will speed things up and help even out germination.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow between September and November, with germination best at a soil temperature of 15 to 20°C. Germination typically takes 14 to 30 days. Plants reach 3 to 10 metres in height and generally take 5 to 8 years from transplanting to become well established.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGermination Capacity: Seed has been sustainably foraged and has not undergone commercial seed cleaning or grading.
