Trees of various age and size; photo taken of juvenile specimen; sorry for the quality. See also my comment, picture and map at http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sighting/3343054
Waltruad it should have clicked with me earlier, but Eucalyptus aggregata is a nationally threatened species, with only 16 plants known in the wild in the ACT, and a national population of about 10,000 mature trees. I know that between 1940 and 1980 the Yarralumla Nursery raised 13,000 Black Gum seedlings and it has been planted as a street tree in Lyneham, Phillip Kambah, Farrer, Mitchell and the ANU. However given that the Majura plantation is self seeding it is actually an example of a successful translocation of this threatened eucalypt. Pyor's and Bank's Street tree book suggests that the seed source for the Yarralumla Nursery plants (and hence probably the Majura plants) was probably from near Braidwood. Would be good to meet and map full Majura population
An interesting one - I would be inclined to not remove the seedlings given the local and rare status of the plant even if it was introduced to the location @EmmaCook do you have a view?
