The following Report by the Superintendent of Gardens and Plantations is published for general information.
By Command,
FREDERICK STEWART,
Acting Colonial Secretary
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 14th August, 1880.
REPORT BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GARDENS AND PLANTATIONS ON
AFFORESTATION IN HONGKONG.
1. There are ten Government nurseries situated in Hongkong and on the Kowloon peninsula. which comprise about 20 acres of land, and contain about 150,000 two-year-old trees, and small seedlings raised this year to supply about 250,000 trees for planting in 1881.
2. The 150,000 two-year-old trees now in the nurseries will be nearly all planted during the next two months; 60,000 trees have already been planted this year, and sites sown on the hills, where the seedlings will remain, for 60,000 more, which will make a total for this year's work of 270,000 trees, covering an area of 245 acres.
3. In addition to Pinus sinensis, which has hitherto been chiefly used for the endowment of the hills with forest vegetation, seeds of several of the indigenous trees of other kinds, such as the Oaks, Tallow-tree, &c., several species of Eucalypti, and other Australian trees, and the Japanese Pinus Massoniana, have been sown in the nurseries, so as to afford more variety to the future plantations, as probably many kinds of trees not yet used may be found to succeed, and render the plantations more valuable and beautiful in years to come.
