In my opinion, this tree should have been on a Significant Tree Register.  Residents said it was causing damage.  It was about 100 years old.  The trunk measured 2.5 metres & equates to approx 388.2 kg CO2 storage per year & the tree was very healthy

DEADLINE: 26th October 09

OUTCOME: 17th November – the tree is to be cut down.  8th December 09 – A motion put to Council by Marrickville Greens to explore other options to save the tree was defeated.  The tree will be cut down.
