![]() Cypress planted on fertile ex-farm sites subject to periodic high wind and heavy rain events are particularly vulnerable to toppling (Brown 2005c). High soil moisture combined with high soil fertility together encourage vigorous foliage growth while discouraging root development, thereby inducing toppling (Brown, 2005c). Tantrum (2005 2010) suggested that good drainage is necessary for a successful cypress crop. Stand management and sitingĬypress is reasonably site demanding, with a range of environmental factors that regulate productivity, including level of wind exposure, salt laden winds, soil moisture, depth and fertility (Satchell, 2017). However, siting requires care, as does management for high quality timber. Because of the highly regarded wood properties and domestic demand for the timber, macrocarpa has emerged as a viable plantation forestry option for growers. Macrocarpa and cypress have been planted for shelter, shade and aesthetic values for well over 100 years throughout New Zealand, primarily because of easy establishment and good growth rates (Satchell, 2017).
