Boa they are very nice pictures, you've got a good eye for photo's but I really had to laugh at the commentary that went with them, (Arborist drinking ale looking at tree photo's ) "tell me your not moved ...she's lovely" tee hee hee

We do tree surgery and removal, we supply free native plant replcement for our customers partly for our conscience in giving back to the environment, partly because it helps raise awareness for customers as to the benefits of planting natives and being aware of our native fauna which really struggles to find enough correct food source , and also because it's a good marketing tool, I just think tree removal is hard to see as a positive, you pay heaps of money, you lose something, your left with a hole in the ground and empty space in your garden. Plant replacment is so cheap and easy and it goes from being a negative to a positive experience for most people. lots of people call us back because of that. I especially love it when I drive past property where people have had big jobs done by us and accepted out native plants and to see they have grown ,are doing well and lots of little birds and insects are living there instead of some great ugly cypress.

yes I will dig up some photo's of some of our local natives , my current fav is native cherry (exocarpos cupressiformis), such a pretty ,compact, bright green little tree.... nice form, sturdy .....I think I feel the need to have a beer a look at tree photo's.
