A great capture by Richard Hassell of WOHA of the Forbes Residences, a mixed use residential development integrating architecture and landscape.
The cascading plant featured is a prostrate form of Acacia saligna.
We are excited about a number of planting prototypes we're trialling at the moment featuring this Acacia, borrowing from natural Japanese and Korean farming methods and syntropic tree pairing principles.
The strategy is for multiplanted Acacia to provide a density of groundcover that can be a living green mulch offering soil cover, be interplanted, 'chopped and dropped' insitu and best of all, offer nitrogen draw down to its root nodules. This groundcover will be paired with Parasienthes lopatha with elevated mid - level canopies of Banksias with their root system offering mineral accumalator functionality.
