 The Chairman's Report:

with special reference to Fumigation, Chemicals and Fertilisers and Dividing the Cycads pictures 

Ewanrigg Botanic Garden : Ewanrigg Botanical Garden is noted for its wide collection of indigenous and exotic plants and owes its origin to the late Mr. Harold Basil Christian. Mr. Christian came to the then Rhodesia in 1914 as a farmer. He later turned his attention to botany and horticulture.It was in the field of botany and in the study of the genus aloe that he made many valuable scientific contributions. Building on his success with aloes, he later turned his attention to a cycad collection. In his garden which covered, 1,5 hectares, a very comprehensive collection of aloes, cycads and many species of small succulent plants was acquired - all of which were planted with considerable care and particular attention to their physical arrangement.

EWANRIGG UPDATE

ACSSZ recently donated chemicals sourced from Cit Chem Zimbabwe for the spraying of cycads in Ewanrigg - this was completed with the Ewanrigg Botanic Garden curator and used approximately 15 litres of pesticides. The Society is also geared to donate at least 4 bags of Semi-Organic, Slow release fertiliser for the cycads, which will be administered along with Ewanrigg staff. The ACSSZ has purchased a freezer to protect cycad pollens in the aid of working together with Ewanrigg in protecting and propagating rare cycads in the collection. Should you be interested in this pollen, or able to donate any pollen, please get hold of the committee or Ewanrigg Gardens directly.
