Not sure that you'd want to plant a bunch of European trees to replace native Australian forests.

Those were examples.

Find the australian equivalent.

Pretty easy to find.

Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) is one that is great in high saline environments.

Eucalyptus leucoxylon (Yellow Gum), Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow Box), Eucalyptus microcarpa (Grey Box), Eucalyptus ovata (Swamp Gum), Eucalyptus viminalis (Manna Gum), Acacia melanoxylon (Blackwood), Allocasuarina verticillata (Drooping Sheoak) Are all good in medium saline environments.

So have your pick.

Why?

ageofwant|10 years ago

It would be futile. Native Samphire, melaleucas and casuarinas can live in saline soil conditions that would kill most anything non-native. There may be exceptions of course.

Its when the Samphire starts to die that you know your in shit street.

Australia lost large parts of its native wildlife due to things like this.
