Enjoy the rain for sure! Fingers crossed it won't be as bad as they predict. What sort of water source do you guys rely on to get through the dry season? Absolutely loved the chippin' portion of your video, cool little compilation of getting the job done. 🥳
We have rainwater tanks as backup if things get desperate, but we don't water very much at all. The fact that jackfruit trees have a deep tap root and the mulch we put on the trees they are quite tolerant of dry periods.
They are a great windbreak, just have to be careful they don't keep creeping into our paddock area as they reseed. Snakes are definitely a concern, but thankfully the only creatures we encountered were green ants and a massive hairy catipiller!

Hi mate, it's a Hansa C7. We got it from Cavs Marine in Tully.

If nothing else, those trees look like a great shelterbelt. I'd be too paranoid about snakes and spiders to go in there lol

where are you from Australia???
Yes, we live in Australia now, originally from UK.
Please sir distance between row to row and plant to plant
We plant 4.5 metres apart (rows and trees) because we keep our trees pruned and short with living in a cyclone prone area.
