Yes - I got too interested in the beetle and forgot to take a picture of the tree :)
It's a small nettle tree

Can smaller nettle trees be pulled out or is it better to return with chemicals?

Nettle tree is hard to pull even when tiny; better to cut&paint
I'll head to the area today or tomorrow to remove the Bridal Creeper Asparagus asparagoides which is a sigificant weed - needs to be totally destroyed and removed. I assume it occurs there because it was dumped with other garden waste (I observed garden waste dumping in that area for a number of years...).
