Great to see you planting NZ natives. At first I thought you might plant 300 fruit trees ,😄🍏. Subscriber from Wellington NZ.

I'd love to see a time lapse of the 300 trees, within the next year, you could take a picture every like 2 weeks so we can watch them grow for a year or two and that could be a video on its own but I love the fact that you guys are becoming self sustainable for the most part. I wish I had some land to do that with as well even if I'm not in New Zealand I would love to be able to do what you're doing much love from Colorado

Congratulations! 300K is amazing! Probably my favorite tree (I'm up in Northland) is Kauri, I'm blessed to have one on my property. She's quite a big tree, planted around the time my house was built, around 1885. She has a lot of natives living around her, but she's the biggest tree on my property by far. I have a lot of re-emerging natives here, on what was very poor farmland for many years. Love what you're doing, and feel very privileged to be one of the 300K club!

I know, this is just a great video. We hear so much bad stuff about the environment right now, and it can be so overwhelming at times. But if we refuse to give up, and keep doing our part as much as possible, then with each effort (big or small) we give the Earth a better fighting chance to survive.

This is seriously the most heartwarming video. It's definitely inspiring to see the land return to forest. Thanks for all of your content and congrats on 300k.

Really love checking out the diversity of New Zealand. I’ve had a Loquat in a pot that has survived some freezing temps. I have put it in the ground with some protection from north wind. Our ground here in this area has enormous amounts of sand. Hope it’s good enough.

Wish your channel was doing this every week, all over new zealand. You'd sort that island out in no time.

New Zealand is such an amazing country. Was there last year and was so impressed. I live in North Central California up in the mountains of the redwood forests and about 25 minutes from the ocean. We live in a strange micro climate that’s really being challenged by climate change. my big experiment because we’ve only been on this property of 3 acres for about three years. Was to bring the orchard back to health and start planting fruits that were possibly a zone or two higher than our designated grow zone. Tropical fruits from Australia and South America.I just know that the warming is happening faster than they understand. And I want to be prepared for that inevitability. It’s a really interesting experiment that takes some manual labor when we have frost to the young trees. But I can’t wait to see what happens in five or six years.

This is one of the best videos I've watched in a long time. Just seeing the passion you have for nature, plants, animals, and all sorts of wonderful flora and fauna, really just puts a big smile on my face. Though it will definitely be difficult having to maintain and monitor the conditions of these trees that you had planted but I'm sure with enough motivation, support, and passion, you can do it! Keep up the brilliant work!

As an Australian living in Australia I wish so badly I wish I had the money to buy some land and do this for our native plants. That said I found it funny you were glad you weren't walking through the forest or bushland of aus because of snakes. Just be more careful when walking and stomp a bit more they will make way. Unless its something like a taipan they will run away. But I do love both nz and aus natives. Aus has some awesome native plants that provide some awesome tasting foods

I live in Georgia USA, just planted back in February: 3 cherry, 3 peach, 1 plum, 1 pear, 1 apple, some papaya and bunch of kiwi. So far they’re doing well despite the drought currently in my area! 💝 Natural environment! Don’t like city! Thank you for all you share!

Though I don't have nearly the same space, I've taken a keen interest in re-introducing natives for the purpose of attracting the native wildlife back into our neighbourhood. The best part is being able to bung them in the ground with no worries as natives are used to crappy aus soil 😁

I love what you are doing on this channel but this video is perhaps my favorite. It is both inspiring and educational while also being quite relaxing (even though you are both working so hard in it!). Thank for your work and thank you for sharing!
