Oh dear ... we are performing wholesale slaughter on the SheOaks taking over our new block and hoping to erradicate them. I know - they are natives - but they are also incrediably invasive, don't allow undergrowth and not very fauna friendly. And with seeds churning out 1-2m high new growth each year, they are rapidly spreading and getting out of control.
I will need to plant something behind each dam for soil support, and to help soak up seepage.
I had my heart set on Weeping Willows (salix) as I grew up with them in the damp area of my parents farm - and love them due to their romantic appearance - but apparently they are a noxious weed in Australia and cannot be purchased or planted.
So, I'm open to suggestions. I want something that is bird attracting (flowers or fruit) that has an attractive growing habit.
