Unfortunately, one of the Golden Rain Wattles planted last September didn't survive the dry period early this year.
It took quite a while to find a replacement one but here it is and we'll try again.

November working bee and more work on roadside trees

25/11/2018

It was a busy working bee today with potholes filled, gutters cleaned out and culverts unblocked. As usual for this time of year, there was plenty of weeding and pruning - especially at the Pembroke Rd entrance. (Must get that sign straightened though... )

Replanting Trees
Two trees were replanted to replace dead and dangerous trees removed last May.

The first new trees is a Betchtel Crab Apple (Malus ioensis 'plena') outside Wimborne to replace the Swamp Gum that was removed. The Crab Apple was chosen in this rathern busy area to completment the one already planted across the road in the triangle as well as Wimborne's beautiful front garden.

The second new tree is a 
Blackwood wattle (Acacia melanoxlon) to replace the Stone pine (and before that the Radiata pine) outside Hurst.

The Stone pine was transplanted to this new location in July but didn't thrive.

​It was felt that the wattle, being smaller than the pine when mature, is better suited to this location close the Hurst.

We have a sick Red Oak needing attention
At the Pembroke Road entrance to Bickleigh Vale Rd outside Hurst, the Red Oak (Quercus rubra) is looking very unwell. After it's winter hibernation, there are leaves on the bottom half but the top half is bare. Perhaps it's getting attacked by possums or perhaps the dry winter has affected it - we're not sure and are seeking expert advise as to what's the best thing we can do to help it thrive again.
