Tender Shoots

Money doesn't grow on trees, or so the proponents of the government's opposition to quantitative easing would have us believe.  It's true, money doesn't grow on trees, at least not directly.  Indirectly?  Well that's a different story.  It does grow on trees, in a sense.  It looks like this:

-- In Central Otago --

-- In Hawkes Bay --

-- In the Bay of Plenty, well, hopefully --

-- In the central North Island --

-- In Northland, I am reliably informed --

-- In Marlborough --

-- In Canterbury, and plenty of other places --

Horticulture (aka growing money on trees) is an ingrained part of our economy, society and culture, and not necessarily in that order.
