User's notes

A dense patch growing on a depot area revegetated after the Evatt wetlands construction project. From the browned leaves and tops of some of the spiny fruit, this invasion looks to have been sprayed. Unfortunately it was too late - stems remain green and fruit is beginning to split to dump hundreds of seeds (main photo). Needs urgent attention to bag and remove before more seed spills.
