In New Zealand tussock refers to a plant that is usually found in the harsh areas of the country, such as mountains.
Tussocks can also be established by dividing vigorously tussocks into clumps of 10+ tillers, planted in a nursery for a year and then transplanting.
He concluded that snow tussock species may not therefore have inherently poor seed set, as has sometimes been assumed, but despite their seasonal irregularity of flowering, seed production is always at risk of heavy attack by insects with very closely adapted host-specific biology.
On the basis of the classification that tussocks were species of slow growth habit (Moore 1956), O’Connor (1963) was not surprised by the lack of growth responses of snow tussock to fertiliser (nitrogen phosphorus, potassium and sulphur).
