Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has stamped inside page.

With the advent of trace element farming in the early 1960s, vast tracts of the Esperance Plains were cleared for agriculture, and little of the native bush was spared.

Problems of rising water tables and encroaching salinity need to be met with the large-scale planting of trees and shrubs. The importance of plant diversity in revegetation cannot be over-emphasised.

There is a naturally wide distribution of hakeas along the south coast, and this book is designed to assist in selecting hakeas as part of the understorey in the revegetation of this region. (Introduction)
