Protea
A variety of proteas, leucospermum and leucadendrons are planted under irrigation on the farm. The flowers are covered with small bags during the blooming season to protect them from birds and inclement weather. The harvests of these magnificent plants are destined for the international and local market.
From the various flowers we grow the Discolor is our pride and joy! Leucadendron discolour is an ecotype to small area on the Piketberg mountain that include Tamarak farm. Over the past 20 years we were able to do selections from the veld and from these we could select cultivars like Lady Molly, Robust, Rita and Red tip providing flowers between August and November.
