I made it over this afternoon as it got dark and had a wander around
the area being cleared is to the North of the current football fields, and they have flattened a stirp about 200M long by 25M wide
Contained Mainly Casurina, Euc and a few Paperbark ( mels of some description ?).
All the stumps have been cut off about 12 - 24 inches above the roots and then the stump pulled out. teh Trunks and foliage have all been mulched.
The area is surrounded by a construction fence( but I did not see any signs to keep out
), so I found a gap and went for a good look.
Most stuff is about 8" - 24 " diameter with the Casa's about 6 - 12" or so. Many had had the soil ripped off and roots broken but a few have the soil mass intact. I you could get a car close some big ones might be collectable but you would need a few blokes and a ute or trailer.
I had a quick look and found 4 to bring home
2 Paperbarks and 2 Casaurinas
They all had fine roots on them ( the big Mel, has a full root mass with soil still there too
),
I will add some more photos tomorrow or Sunday when i can take them in the light and pot them up, but in the meantime I have trimmed the broken off roots and sat them in a barrow full of Seasol.
If anyone want to sw3ing past tomorrow, no doubt you would be able to find something useful, but if the workers or council on site they may not like you in the fenceline tho
