Hi there, I am trying to find out what the Kowhais current seasons growth and previous seasons growth look like and do a comparison. Can anyone describe the difference for me? Many thanks Catherine
Probably best you ask Dr Peter Heenan ([email protected]) who is writing a book on our kowhai species
Thanks for that Peter. I will give him a try.
Hi Catherine, some species like S. microphylla lose their last seasons growth following the flush of new foliage. The old foliage is a darker green with missing leaflets. The new foliage darkens with age.
