These devastating images are not some plucked from obscurity but rather three images from literally a 10m radius from my house. They all used to be happy healthy trees until 'They' came around and killed them. Three eucalyptus now dead...
Well one can surmise that its only a matter of time and money before these trees are ripped out of the ground and replaced. But what could have been done to prevent this in the first place? Easy, the council could have employed a more highly skilled labourer to perform the simple but important task of pruning. I'm not here to judge and point fingers at people but the council dropped the ball on this one and went for the easy cheap option.
So next time when it comes time to prune once more id like the council to think about the consequences of their laziness and lack or research techniques and just do it right. Employ the guy/girl with a good record of KEEPING TREES ALIVE and past employer references and discard anyone who has 'i like the smell of petrol' as a reason for employment on their resume'.
Happy pruning.
