Over a weekend in June 2000 a group of volunteers planted over 450 plants to create a natural fence. This included climbing plants on the wire fence, bushes of many sizes and colours, and a few large trees.

Before this weekend the existing cyclone wire 1.8 metre fence was moved to the boundry line and continued between the two neighbouring properties to replace the old wooden fences. This fence will provide a support structure for plants to grow on.

Tree falls over in strong wind

After the strong winds of the last few days one of the Jacarandas (Jacaranda mimosifolia) fell over breaking the main root.

Planted in June 2000 the tree has not grown very well – at the time of falling over it was only a bit over 1 metre high with very little root system and only the one main branch. The main issue seems to be the wind but it has always been a lot smaller than the other one growing next to it.

It has been repotted in the hope of keeping it alive and perhaps planting it in a more sheltered spot.
