Pines Genus PinusObserver
melissa_hutchisonDescription
Lots of seedlings coming up in the Reserve. DOC has been controlling them but oh so many more coming up... the Reserve is surrounded by plantation forestry and wilding sources so will need ongoing control until all seed sources in the vicinity are removed...

Think this is opacum. Calyx lobes appear to peel back and stamens appear right length. Fruit very shiny, though.

? There are 10-20 specimens of S. opacum within 20m, I think. More s.nigrum, but they are now being cut down or uprooted to make room for native seedlings - hopefully- once the ground is wetter
