At our second working bee for the year, we started to clear the first patch for the July Tree Day plantings. This patch has three mature trees in a line, marking the western boundary: a tallowood (Eucalyptus microcorys), a swamp box (Lophostemon suaveolens) and an old wattle. The triangle has a few tenacious weeds, however: ochna (Ochna serrulata) and an asparagas weed. We'll have to watch these as they may take the opportunity offered by our clearing efforts to invade the triangle.
