Hadn't noticed this individual before, not sure if it's a local or an exotic? Less than 1m tall. One small branch had snapped off in the wild weather so I put it on a log and took an extra photo. Kind regards, Roy.

Arbutus unedo, flowers not yet open. Exotic, grows over 2m on Isaacs Ridge. I have reported some but haven't bothered to map them all.

Roy I have seen Strawberry Tree as a significant weed in the Adelaide Hills, so would be good to pull it out if you get the chance. I suspect that foxes and Currawongs spread its seed via the red fruit
