Thought forgotten. I had another call from the council where the trees are
used on the council verge. Apparently they sucker like crazy if their roots
are disturbed. The guy who called highly recommended that the trees are only
planted if a creeper, such as ivy, is grown to reduce the amount of root
disturbance & to act as a mulch. There's no way in hell I want ivy in any
part of my garden & so will look into other options, such as a Dwarf Sugar
Gum or three.
