User's notes

Fruiting street trees, source of bird dispersed invasive saplings in the adjacent endangered box gum grassy woodland area of the Nature Reserve. Several cultivars present in this small planting. Picture 1 is largest fruit cluster seen, on the northernmost tree. Most fruits seen on other trees were singles, not clusters. Picture 3 a different cultivar. Picture 4 another different cultivar, with the picture 3 tree in the background - differ in leaf colour and branching pattern which determines tree shape. Picture 5 a basal shoot probably from the rootstock.
