Good to see all your records Rainer - unfortunately the records on Canberra Nature Map are showing that many of the "sleeper weeds" are already more widespread than we feared.

Hi
Do you think this was planted deliberately, or sown by seed dispersal, or grown from a sucker?
What environment was it growing in?
Did it have suckers from the base or the root, and did it have fruits?
Thanks
Kate

Pyrus calleyana is unfortunately a popular street tree used by the ACT Government. It's fruits are about the sized of a frozen pea and are spread by fruit eating birds such as Currawongs, blackbirds, and bowerbirds. Birds frequently rest/roost in woodland trees and it is mainly seen as part of the bird shit flora, forming a "halo" around woodland trees near urban areas. You can see a map of all 49 CNM record locations at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/map?speciesId=19377
