Funny that NZ flax etc do badly considering they are further south than us. I have noticed that certain types of flax preform bad there are some that go quite well. I think a bit of the problem is people see them as no irrigation plants and plop them in and forget about them thinking they are like a native. Hence they look a bit pooy. It is interesting, i think plants further south actually thrive on far less full sun than further north and in turn take way longer to get used our full sun. NZ has some of the newest and most fertile soils in the world. Australia has some of the most ancient. NZ has wonderful regular rainfall compared with us. NZ has more humidity. NZ has a whole bunch of things we don't have here in Aust. That why the flaxes grow well there and not so easily here Bro Hi - thanks for your reply.
