Hail and farewell

After the Melville council arborist checked the gum tree, it's been decided that it has to go. The whole thing. Damned shame, as that tree was a home, haven, nesting site, photography stage and food supply for hundreds of birds. The council will replant a native nectar bearing trees/shrubs, but it will take years for them to become established

Find out where your water/sewer pipes are and plant your own. They grow pretty fast in the first five years.
If you want a random white gum I have a baby in a box that could use a home. Its father is growing in my yard - from a self-seed in one of my pots when I moved :)
