Injected with poison, razed and drilled with multiple holes. Now the latest in an alleged string of “calculated” attacks against Sydney’s trees has left residents fuming.
Residents of an affluent lower north shore suburb have launched a desperate bid to save a beloved 100-year-old fig tree after what they suspect was a “calculated” attack to secure better harbour views.
Initial assessments reveal the damage occurred most likely in the past week, said Hunters Hill council staff, arborists at the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust and rangers.An arborist will attempt to flush out the poison with Seasol, a liquid seaweed concentrate that may improve the tree’s chance of survival.
A similar incident in January, just a stone’s throw from Horse Paddock, took place at Goat Paddock when another hundred-year-old fig tree was illegally removed.An investigation spearheaded by the trust is under way, and NSW police have been notified.
