well perhaps not cultivate, but Gov staff pruned Cootamundra wattles along a road at Epic where they planted some eucalyptus ... I didn't understand why the cootas weren't removed all together when they were still small. It will be more work to prune year after year if the purpose of the pruning is to reduce the branches overhanging / stretching into the road

Cootamundra wattle is a declared pest plant so I don't see that the Government is cultivating them; maybe just ignoring them because of lack of resources. I don't worry too much about them in Isaacs/Mugga because there is a lack of other natives.
