Hi Colleen, Thank you once again to the fantastic supporters of Fifteen Trees. In future years, as the trees grow, the massive infestations of hemlock (poisonous weed) and phalaris (a virulent pasture grass) will give way to beautiful, fringing swamp gums and flowering bursaria bushes (great for the birds in both cases), along with other natives.
