Tree lucerne (Tagasaste; Chamaecytisus proliferus var palmensis)
Tree lucerne is a versatile, small, fast growing tree. It flowers during the winter and is an important food source for birds and bees. We have a pair of kereru which spend a couple of months at our place each year during winter feeding on the tree lucerne. We have planted it through all of our shelter lines as a ‘nurse crop’, to provide initial wind shelter, frost protection, shade etc. for our longer-term plants. We are starting to remove some of our trees now, the foliage is being fed to the stock and the trunks make good firewood. Tree lucerne is a great feed crop for stock, particularly in periods of feed shortage; it will regrow after pruning. It is also a nitrogen fixing plant.
