From 2015, 2015年より、

マイナーなユーカリ達』は日本語のみでというか、英語にできないだけですが、ユーカリに関する栽培記録を掲載しています。

The English version is "Slow Life - Tidings of four seasons".
I am weak in English. For that reason I aim at something like picture book, that is represented by words of a little.

英語版としていますが、タイトル通り『四季の便り』として、日本語と英語の併記で四季折々のユーカリの姿を掲載しています。

Aromaphloia アロマフロイア』では、バラやアロマオイルなどユーカリ以外のものを掲載しています。

Will Hirakata and the place of the same climate be in Australia?

Will Hirakata and the place of the same climate be in Australia?
Hirakata is a city located in Osaka, Japan.

Temperature of Hirakata is the average temperature from 2009 to 2011.
I got the temperature of each Australia place from the site of the trip.

Temperature of each place







Monthly temperature difference is subtract monthly minimum temperature from monthly maximum temperature.
Monthly temperature difference of Alice Springs is much greater than monthly temperature difference of Hirakata.

Annual temperature difference is obtained by subtracting minimum temperature of the winter from minimum temperature of the summer.
In many places of Australia, annual temperature difference of Australia is much small than annual temperature difference of Hirakata.
The hot area is warm in the winter, and the cold area is cool in the summer. 

The desert zone that differences between heat and cold have a big is near to the maximum temperature and minimum temperature of Hirakata.

I tried to validate the detailed data, whether or not there is a place that is similar to Hirakata.
The following figure used data of the Australian government.

Minimum temperature map




















Composite map
  ※The composite map is own work.

It is thought that it is QLD Mitchel when I check meteorological observatory data of this neighborhood.
I have created a graph in numerical data of Mitchell.
Graphs are based on the meteorological data of the Australian Government.


















In winter of Hirakata, temperature rises around 8 degrees from minimum temperature and becomes around 9 degrees at the daytime.
In winter of Mitchell temperature rises around 13 degrees from minimum temperature and becomes around 20 degrees at the daytime.
We can feel the 20 degrees temperature all year in Mitchell.
I cannot experience it in Hirakata



From Google Maps




















The terrain of Mitchell seems such as the nook of the plain that is blocked by the mountain.


The terrain of Hirakata is the nook of the Osaka Plain that is blocked by the mountain of Kyoto and Nara.


Next graph is air temperature of Alice Springs and Arltunga.
I have created a graph in based on the meteorological data of the Australian Government.

Arltunga is the minimum temperature about 2 degrees lower than Alice Springs.

B Arltunga















In both areas, the temperature is a similar tendency.

In many places of Australia, annual temperature difference of Australia is much small than annual temperature difference of Hirakata.
The hot area is warm in the winter, and the cold area is cool in the summer.
The winter highest temperature is the same as summer minimum temperature.
There is one puncta of temperature that you can always sense in Australia.
However,  summer temperatures and winter temperatures in Hirakata are very different.

In the eucalyptus which I cultivate, there are gamophylla of the Alice spring and melanophloia of Mitchell.
It was seeded at time same as both.
It is planting a flowerpot with the same soil.
They have grown in the open air exposed to rain.

Below is a graph of the temperature of the winter Mitchell and Alice spring.  The data of Hirakata is January 2011.


The room temperature becomes 20 degrees from 18 degrees when I put a stove in winter.

Green meat compartment of the refrigerator is 5 to 7 degree, and  the refrigerator door pocket  is 6 to 9 degree.
Eucalyptus grown in Hirakata feel like inside the refrigerator.

When we cultivate Eucalyptus, on that condition Hirakata does not have Australia and the place of the similar temperature.
The environment is different, but the eucalyptus grows.
Eucalyptus survives strong  to changes in the environment.


Precipitation of Hirakata and Australia.
Because there is little precipitation, it is necessary to reduce quantity of the watering.

But when I change the way I think.
I think, not necessarily eucalyptus accumulated in leaf water directly, the amount of water that seeps into the ground because it becomes a problem, by dropping quite a water-holding capacity of the soil, whether it is not capable of supporting the watering.

I think I should examine the soil of Australia.
