Re "Yuccas": the seedlings were not Yucca seedlings, but Dragon Tree seedlings - another 21st Century invasion of Kaipatiki Creek

Recording all suspected or confirmed invasions by seed, (including some seedlings grown on in a pot for confirmation of ID), naturalized from neighbouring properties (one seen yet) and growing from dumped refuse.

Also observing the results of manual removal of vegetative growth from dumped refuse, and the development of uprooted seedlings grown-on off-site in a pot for identification

    (These specimens are of course no longer on the site, but have been manually GPS-pinned to the same co-ordinates at which they were collected, for data collation purposes).

I'll leave this link here re the Yuccas, which are now presumed to be vegetative invasions - All Kaipatiki Creek Restoration site observations mentioning "yucca" will be shown here:
