Hey guys after some advice. We have an acre block and would like to plant some Lilly pilly resilience
around the boundary fences which is roughly 230m in length. The plan was to use tubestock for affordability and dig a trench to plant them with 1m spacing then backfill with topsoil and mulch. We have no idea about gardening so if anyone can chime in with tips or alternatives that would be great cheers!

I have a PhD in shelterbelts if you want to pm me.
Tube stock will give you far more resilient plants. No pun intended. 20 years old and blocked the view of the shed after 5 years.

Tubestock grows like mad, so much more economical. I planted 200 indigenous local tubestock into a new habitat garden here in August 2025. In not even 12 months, those babies are knee, waist and chest height already (depending on species as I used layering). I am astounded and many already flowering too.
Please share progress pics! Would love to see how you transform the place.
