Inner West Council – Marrickville have given notice that they intend to remove a Small-leafed peppermint (Eucalyptus nicholii) outside 80 Denison Road Dulwich Hill.
They give the following reasons –
- “The tree is in poor structural condition, has recently suffered a significant branch failure and exhibits extensive stem decay which cannot be mitigated by pruning.
- The tree in its current state presents an unacceptable risk to the public and property.”
Council say they will replace with a Yellow bloodwood (Corymbia eximia) in the 2018 planting season.
There was no Notification of Removal on the tree.
Yellow bloodwood is an Australian native with a round canopy that grows to 10-metres. It has scaly yellow-brown bark & broad, thick, curved, blueish-green leaves. In spring, it produces large clusters of creamy flowers in clusters, which attract birds & insects. Nice choice.
