User's notes

In degraded woodland, several patches under and around Native Cherry trees; sprayed with Starane, but not mapped because i couldn't get the required accuracy (below 10m) in Field Maps. Several with flower stems developing; I cut some with advanced flowering and fruiting stems and sprayed cut surface. There are rabbit warrens nearby.
