Tree Removal

 

A young fig.

There are many large pest trees in the local environmental areas such as camphor laurels and african tulip trees. The local government while very keen to remove hollow native trees is slow to remove pest trees. They would be expensive to remove and the nearby residents often object to the trees being removed.

So the plan is to plant figs in the pest trees. The figs will strangle the pest trees to death over the next 50 years.
