less desirable trees

[philinsydney]

Clause 57 lists trees that you are allowed to remove without permission in my local government area:

Kris would be crying to see his Canary Island Date Palms on the list!

It warms my heart to see Liquidambar on the list.

Around here, you can't cut anything down without permission. Undesirable and weed trees need a permit but the permit is free. Also I notice that several Australian natives are on that list. Around here you would play Hell trying to remove a native, even one way out of its natural range.

The list seems pretty enlightened even if CDIPs are on it.

in my area australian pines are illigal to plant, even though there not invasive, and one of the most beutifull trees in the world. they say there invasive but towns and citys are too.

If you like them, you can get a grafted one that won't send out seed or suckers, so it won't reproduce. They are much better like that

I have three Syagrus roms at my new residence planted by previous owner and are rather huge .

Check in 12 months and there won't be any.

What do you mean exactly by Australian pines?

Callitris species maybe, or something else?

Just curious.

Casuarinas I bet: C glauca or C equisetifolia

I have removed about 5000 brazilian pepper trees in the last month from a vacant lot I just purchased.I do not know of another tree that is able to do what this tree has done to Florida.Now that I'm aware of what this tree looks like I notice them all over Pinellas county! I've been told for every 1 native tree in Fl. there are 100 B.Pepper trees!! Very invasive and on the do not plant list.I am being harrased by code enforcement for trimming to much off an oak tree.However, I was told you do not need a permit to cut down any palm tree?

Well, I certainly disagree with that list, as my hands itch on my machete, chainsaw, and sharp tongue . . .

Phil, do they still have CIDPs out the front of the Council chambers in Sutherland??? I hope they don't cut down the lovely avenues of Lophostemon that are all over the Shire.

Sounds like they are trying to go all endemic. That would be sad.

[philinsydney]

Yes, I'm almost certain the CIDPs are still there; I'll check some time soon.

I'm a bit puzzled about the brush boxes too. There are two possible reasons I can think of: 1) they do shower down a lot of capsules and twigs, probably more than eucs 2) many have been horribly disfigured by lopping for powerlines. These days they tend to plant smaller trees such as kanookas Tristaniopsis laurina along footpaths. However, neither of these reasons are satisfactory to me in terms of including them on the dreaded "list". But don't worry; they are not removing established brush boxes as far as I know.
