Can Kānuka Increase Pasture Production in New Zealand Hill Country? Research Video

June 2024

In this research video, we explore the results of Tom Mackay-Smith’s PhD at Massey University, measuring the impact of spaced kānuka trees on pasture production, pasture species composition and soil condition in New Zealand hill country.

Results of this project include:

  • 108% more green dry matter production under kānuka trees compared to open pasture.
  • 49% more organic matter under the trees.
