Flame Tree invasion continues in Gahnia Grove's kanuka canopy, subcanopy and understorey

The poisoning and removal of Flame Trees in and adjacent to Gahnia Grove has been approved by the Council Ecologist/Arborist, and awaits Resource consent.

In the interim, the several young Flame Trees within Gahnia Grove are growing rapidly, accessing the space previously filled by privet and Japanese honeysuckle at the bottom of the Arena, and by Cape Honey Flower at the bottom of Cape Honey Flower Bank. The foliage is on low-lying branches of trunks only about 10cm D.

Some observations of the small Flame Trees within Gahnia Grove:
