How to get grafted natives into your garden

Catriona Bate and Phil Trickett, Leaders of the Isopogon and Petrophile Study Group Growing native plants is a joint passion of Phil and Catriona and they have developed a large native garden on the site of an old dairy farm at Little Forest on the south coast of NSW. The garden features a large range of local and WA species, many rare, and provides an opportunity to study plants at close hand, including a large range of isopogon and petrophile species, and to trial grafted plants. Presentation topic: Filling the gaps: how to preserve our isopogons and petrophiles Knowledge is power – the more one knows the more one will be able to control events. In the plant world, knowledge, beginning with taxonomy, is the driver of conservation. However, the state of knowledge on isopogons and petrophiles is underdeveloped compared to other iconic species. Addressing this deficit is vital to the ongoing preservation of isopogons and petrophiles. The study group has focused on identifying knowledge gaps, collating existing intelligence and conducting research on taxonomy, ecology and cultivation. An expanded agenda is planned, where possible, to facilitate scientific work, document knowledge, increase research on fire recovery, germination, insect interactions, and cultivation, and grow these genera ex situ as insurance against extinction.
