So about 6 months ago the grounds staff at the hospital phone Steve asking for a report on a native tree in the new construction area that has to be retained and protected..due to pressure from the neighbouring Uni...well it would hardly have come from the Hosp admin would it!!!LOL

When we go out what do we see?
The tree in the carpark of the mental health area


the tree a bit further back


The larger stemmed Euc in the staff car park is still alive with its stem damage, buried root system epicormic regrowth and cankers, the pathway still has its lopped smaller trees with their half root plates.

You know sometimes you just have to admit that you can tell a mug, just can't them much....This story still has some chapters to be written I just really hope that catastrophic failure will not be the title of any of them.
