Last year a 12-year-old girl was crushed to death by a 10m eucalypt tree in Adelaide.
The fact that this had nothing what so ever to do with any mysterious SBD event but rather a totally fecked tree blowing over in high winds!!! Never let the facts spoil a good story......

I should not worry about writing Arb reports just get a local journo to come out with me they seem to have it all worked out.

The loppers and hackers must love this rubbish lets get out a lop off all the big lower limbs off the older trees now that'll make them safe eh?

From the article.

The so-called "summer limb drop" happens when trees shed their limbs in a bid to reduce water loss from the trunk.
It would be good if they quoted the source of their information.

They already did, in the byline, because they probably just made that up!
