Abstract
Grevillea robusta A. Cunn. is commonly grown as a shade tree in East African tea plantations. Seedlings are usually raised in nurseries and transplanted to the field when about 4 in. high. Failure of the plants has been reported when they are transplanted into the red, highly acid soils characteristic of some tea areas, of which the pH. may be as low as 4.2.
