But the climate has heated up at an accelerated rate and now it might be more sympathetic to this trees native conditions. It may indeed, but that doesn't mean it will inevitably become a problem here. Good point. (I probably got sucked into the Observer's screaming article title... next time i'll buy the Mail on Sunday) Among other things, it said in the article that... i) it is often found near railway lines ii) that by cutting back at the tree it sprouts off and throws out underground suckers Not sure if the methods they use in vegetation control around railways (slash, slash some more, slash again) would help stop the second point's phenomena. Well, something kills them - I've managed to 'lose' a couple in my garden. I must be the world's worst gardener, if I can't even grow an invasive alien :-) |
