I love trees.....and I hate oversized trees being planted in urban environments. There are plenty of great trees that don't get so big they rip up the Fcuking utilities in the street. A major hassle to get council to allow you cutting them down.

We have had to campaign to get a paperbark cut down planted in the next door neighbours front yard by previous owners. Ficus cut down also by different departing owners that covered three backyards and got into the pipes and finally got the jacaranda on the other side cut back. There's a bay tree they planted down the back that's three stories high and sends out suckers everywhere.

Paperbarks had to be replaced according to council so the new owners bought.....a ficus. Now covers their entire front yard.

We've, got palms, hibiscus, camellias, native gardenias and tree ferns and understory ground cover so I'm not anti plant but sheeessh.
Nature hating swine.

You campaigned to get a native Australian tree cut down.

Humanity is fcuked.

In England, sure.

They wiped out all the trees 500 years ago.

But it makes sense to plant trees which work well with surrounding buildings... otherwise they just get cut down.

Well, when they fccck up the foundations or services to your house and result in subsidence or your sewer overflowing it gets a bit tricky Steve. Next door had a beautiful gum in their garden which they cut down, I was fccckn gutted and happy for the roots to mess with my place but I could understand where they were coming from.

Jacarandas are bad news anywhere near underground services, fcuking pest tree, look great in flower but should never have been brought here.

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.

I think also the gardening might just keep me hanging in there - because I want to see what the trees I've planted look like in 50 years.
I have a similar thing AL, it's something i've been doing on and off for a while now. I've planted quite a few trees over the last 30 or 40 years, maybe 400 - 500 or so and i'm always wanting to see how they look, how they interact with an environment over time. I've planted a few on nature strips in sydney where i've lived, and a quite a lot on a property i lived on with my dad in the 80's on the north coast. I have a couple of pics.

The first pic is an Aus red cedar tree out the front of our old house in redfern. I planted this in about 1992 and it just took off, it grew metres in the first few months and never looked back. This pic is from 5 or 6 years ago, mid winter. Red cedar (toonis australis) is one of Australia's few deciduous trees. The tree trunk and roots have grown so large it's fcuked the services in the street a number of times and lifted the footpath. So good. Theres also a couple of eucalypts in the pocket park behind the house that i planted which are pretty big now but i don't have pics of them.

Image

The next one is a tree i planted with my dad when i was about 14 years old out the front of the first pub he bought in Waterloo. Can't remember what flavour eucalyptus It is. It would be around 40 years old now. It's the biggest tree in the street.

Image

This one was supposed to be a Moreton Bay Fig i planted in about 1985 but i think it may be a Port Jackson fig. It's hard to tell the difference when they're young with only a couple of juvenile leaves. I was hoping it was going to spread out like the Morton Bay figs in Sydney's parks but it has had a bit of competition so it's grown quite tall. I'm hoping it will stretch out and relax over time, once it starts to dominate the spot it's in. The tree on the left is a Mango my dad and i planted around the same time. It has good fruit. The palms on the right my dad planted, i had nothing to do with them.
Image

In this last shot i planted every tree you can see, all the way back (except the little ones that have self seeded that are a metre or 2 tall). These were planted in the mid 80's as well. Quite a few species: Brushbox, Blackbutt, Turpentine, White Cedar, Rose wood, Silky Oak and a few others. Problem was there was a long drought not long after they were planted so we had to bucket water them for nearly 2 years before the rains came and they started to grow properly. Most of the trees i've planted were on this property which was steep in parts and suffering a bit of land slip. The trees have helped stabilise the dirt over time.
Image
great stuff, black duck. you've reminded me one of my first part-time jobs when i was in high school was planting trees around the northern illawarra. dad was teaching horticulture at tafe at that time and had landscaping friends who'd get work with state rail and city council. the railway embankment revegetation work was bloody hard but it took us into that lovely bush around otford and helensburgh. i seem to recall hearing lyrebirds on several occasions. it was nice working in the beach parks too - thirroul, coledale, sandon point - come to think of it i must have planted hundreds of trees between bulli and helensburgh. whenever we go on the train to sydney now i always try to point out to little baz the embankment just south of stanwell park we planted trees on. bit hard to see clearly from the train though. will have to take him bushwalking one of these days.

that shot of the gum next to the mercy arms has a classic inner-city sydney look. makes me want to go for a walk around redfern and waterloo!
