On Quarantine Island in Dunedin Harbour, a planted forest only six-years old already has the feel of a natural place. A basic forest structure and sheltering seaward canopy have been developed by pruning methods outlined in this article. There is enough shade, moisture, light, and shelter from salt winds, to start returning forest floor species next planting season.
