Uaʻike muaʻia au i ka Norfolk Island pines ma James Michener o ka Pākīpika Hema , kahi i wehewehe ai i nā lālā o nā lāʻau nui nui, ma Norfolk Island. Ma hope mai, ua neʻe au i kekahi wahi a Norfolk e ulu mālie ai kahi i kapaʻia ai lākou he lāʻau pepehi kanaka no ka mea, aia i ka manawa e hina i nā hale. Akā,ʻo Norfolks, he mau lāʻau pinepine liʻiliʻi wale nō me ka lacy, me keʻano maikaʻi. ʻO lākou,ʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻaʻole pinepine i nā lāʻau pine, akā no loko o kekahiʻohana kanu'ē aʻe.
Ma kaʻoihana nūnū, eʻike pahaʻoe iā Norfolks i kūʻaiʻia ma keʻanoʻo nā kumulāʻau me ke kumulāʻau me ke kumulāʻau Karistiano. Hoʻonani pinepineʻia lākou me nā huapoki a me nā mea nani a kūʻaiʻia e like me nā hōʻailona a maʻalahi loa eʻike i ka hāʻule. Ināʻaʻoleʻoe i makemake i ka Norfolk ma keʻano o ka lāʻau Kalikimaka, hana lākou i nā mea kanu maikaʻi a ke mālama mauʻia i lalo oʻekolu kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi i loko o nā pahu liʻiliʻi.
Nā Kūlana Hoʻoulu
- Ka mālamalama: makemake lākou i ka lā a piha loa a makemake e hoʻopau i loko o nā kūlana haʻahaʻa (e nānā i lalo). E hāʻawi i kāu mea kanu i ka mālamalama maikaʻi loa, aiʻole ma waena o ka lā a piha a me nā hola pōkole ma nāʻano kūpono.
- ʻO wai: He loloa ka palekana o ka loiloi, no laila uaʻoi aʻe kaʻoi o ka hoʻopoinaʻana ma kahi o ka wai, a he mea pono e hoʻomaloʻo i ka lepo ma waena o nā wai.
- Ka Honua: He mau mea kanuʻono ia , me kahi pH makemakeʻia o kahi 5.5 a iʻole 4.5. Hiki i nā'ōpili i hoʻonohonohoʻia e ka pele ke kūpono no lākou e like me ka hopenaʻana o ka hui i ka hopenaʻana o ka peʻa.
- Fertilizer: E hānai me ka wai maloʻo ma loko o ka wā ulu, akā hiki iāʻoe ke hoʻokuʻu i ka fertilizing ma nā manawa liʻiliʻi.
Pākuʻi
ʻO ka Norfolk Island pine he gymnosperm,ʻo ia hoʻi he ulu kahi i loko o nā'ōpiopio hānau kāne a wahine. Loaʻa ka uluʻana o nā pinesʻo Norfolk Island mai nāʻanoʻano, ka mea i lawe pinepineʻia mai ka moku Pākīpika.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea kanu homeʻaʻole loa e hopohopo i nā hua kanu a iʻole ka ulu.
Hoʻopau hou
ʻO nā pines Young Norfolk Islandʻaʻole he poʻe loea wikiwiki loa, no laila e hiki ke hana hou i kēlā me kēia makahiki'ē aʻe ma mua o kēlā me kēia makahiki. E like me ka uluʻana o ka mea kanu, hoʻomaka ia e ulu koke. E hoʻopili hou i ka manawa o ke kauwela, a inā i loaʻa ka nui o kāu mea kanu, e hoʻomaopopo pono e hoʻohana i kahi ipuhao me nā mea kaumaha i loko o ka hui, e like me ka one lepo momona, e hoʻolako i ke kaumaha e mālama ai i ka mea kanu.
Ka nui
Aia hoʻokahi wale nōʻano ma ke kālepa:ʻo ka Araucaria heterophylla . ʻAʻole kēia mau mea kanu i nāʻano mahiʻai. ʻO kekahi mauʻano'ē aʻe o kēiaʻohana e hōʻike i kekahi manawa i ke kālepa, me ka hoʻopiliʻoleʻia e like me ke kanu kumu. ʻO kēia mau mea he A. columnaris , A. āpauucana , a me A. bidwillii . ʻAʻole hiki iāʻoe keʻike i kēia mau mea, akā, like nā kūlana moʻomeheu i ka hihia.
Nā mea kōkua a ka mea ulu
ʻO nā pinesʻo Norfolk Island-i nā kumu'ōpiopio hoʻi - he mau kumu pakūʻole nāwaliwali, kahi i loaʻa ai iā lākou ka inoaʻo "ka lāʻau pepehi." No ke hoʻoikaikaʻana i nā aʻa, e hoʻomanaʻo ponoʻoe e hoʻolako i ka meaʻai mauʻole a mai kānalua hoʻi e pihi i kāu kumu lāʻau inā pono ia. ʻOiai lākou he mau lālā o ka lā ā hiki ke hiki, hiki iā lākou ke mālama i nā wā lōʻihi (mau mahina ma ka manawa) ma nā kūlana pōkole.
No laila, hiki iāʻoe ke mālama i kāu mea kanu i loko o ka hoʻoilo, a laila neʻe aku i kahi wahi kū i waho ma ke kauwela. Inā hoʻomaka ka mea kanu e ulu i ka wā e ulu ana i loko, eia keʻano o ka māmā a me ka momona momona ka mea e ulu ai ka leggy. I kēlā hihia, eʻokiʻoki i ka meaʻai a hiki i ka hikiʻana o ka mea kanu i ka lā. No nā Norfolk Island Pines ke palekana i nā mea maʻi e like me nā aphids , mealybugs , scale, and white fly. Inā hiki, e hoʻomaopopo i ka hōʻailona i ka wā hiki a hiki ke hana me kahi kohoʻoihana'eleʻa loa.
