5. The trees must be of an average height of two feet, except in the case of gum, wattle, poplar, or willow, which must be of an average height of four feet.

6. As soon as the land is fenced and the trees planted, a report must be sent to the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the provincial district in which the lands are situate, who will cause inspection of the same to be made, from the date of which, if duly certified, the two years will be calculated.
