Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[Bigdgb]

thats hard stuff for sure Andrew, had to cut a few of late too, I was wondering what killed them,

In afew of the greener ones i noticed a cream coloured grub,like a small whitchity grub,they allways seam to be like swiss cheese.

they average 8 to 9 years old here and die then the black cocky's come down in may june and strip em and if i don't take em home for fire wood they rot of at the stump fall over and rot real quick

Longicorn Beetles mate. Nasty little bastards they are.
Nice stump too but I fear you may have been 1.2mm off at the far end of your hinge. Careless old son
Not sure what species of Wattle they are but I knocked over about 1000 of them in Tassie a while back, most around 8-10". I dropped maybe a dozen dead ones near 24" and they were pretty hard. I had to clear a creekline in amongst Blackberries. Worst job I've ever done. They are like the Seagulls and Pigeons of the tree world.

I think they are Black Wattle mate. They were thick through my mate's place and the whole Huon Valley. Every tree you can see with yellow flowers is/was a Wattle. They didn't do too well under competition from other tree species but wherever there was an open area or along the edge of the forest or creekline they'd be there.
I thought I had more photos of them but nope, methinks I was mistaken...
