Yes they do!
Ohhhh, you were talking about YOUR “Wood Duck” and I likely live in another country and our “Wood Duck” is different. Wondered why the photo was off; “this person doesn’t even know what a Australian Wood Duck looks like, what a flaming galah”.
One of the world’s longest commercial trials of a seaweed supplement that the global meat industry hopes could slash methane from beef cattle has recorded much lower reductions in the potent greenhouse gas than previous studies.
Yes mate, we always get our clean fill from “garden stores”.
Asbestos now found in sold soil. Whoops.
There is no reason not to use Syncthing besides KDEConnect has features other than sharing files that might come in handy.
Syncthing is a much better tool for a hands-off approach once set up so sure, why not?
The Windows version used to be shit. That’s no longer a problem. That’s about the only negative I remember. Otherwise you can have it doing a lot of work between devices or only sending when you feel like it. I force stop it on my phone and then invoke through share when needed.
I brought up Syncthing as it will function the same way, in a more hands off way (by choice if you want, automagically or forced) if you needed to share files/folders between devices. Not only for passwords.
Local file sharing:
I use KDEConnect on all my devices (Windows, Linux, GrapheneOS, Work Galaxy Tab) and it works just fine. Never needed to try anything else.
Syncthing as well for keepass files.
In Australia, the Rurals do it for free. You get paid in “camaraderie/comradery”.
I hope that people who say “plant locally-adapted” plants read this.
Especially with a quote like this:
properties purchased through the scheme would be preserved as open space to improve flood resilience
Non-vegetated, mown paddocks don’t improve flood resilience.
What makes you smarter than people studying these problems? A single example of a plant introduced in 1963?
You can’t just declare your opinion to be right. And you can’t ignore climate change to suit your argument. Nor can you deny that urban areas are very diverse in exotic tree species and that won’t change because you want it to. A single comment isn’t putting the genie back in the bottle, nor stopping climate change, or land degradation/clearing, or new pests and diseases.
Stay optimistic though.
Is the sigh based on invasive species bring present from the early lovefest of carrying everything around and then the agricultural lovefest of intentionally moving everything around and you imagine it could happen again?
Or is the sigh that you wished climate change wasn’t real and you could go back to the good old days where indigenous species would just grow like they did for the previous 10,000 years?
The climate is changing. It sucks and these articles are the result of it. Rather than willy-nilly introducing species like yesteryear, this is going to be measured and studied to increase a functioning tree cover’s survival. I feel as though your sigh is a hindrance, rather than a help. What does the sigh mean?
Like aminopyralids?

It might only be an issue if you are using hay or cow manure. Most people seem to use sugarcane.
I spoke to a friend that worked as a plumber at an abattoir and next door was a Searles. They used thebgrass from the cows stomach in some of their products. I had no idea potting mix wasn’t vegan. There is a potential contamination there.
Farmers and Grazon; name a more iconic duo.
A quick change from Commodore and Falcon Ute to 4WD dual cabs being the “bogan” vehicle of choice. The change from average ute size to oversized was a blink of an eye.
Then conversely the small SUV (a taller car) became the Prado-style giant SUV of the day.
Parking must be absolute bullshit.
You should see the rapid change in vehicle types happening here. Dual cab utes, overly large (US trucks). A lot of American imports turning up (usually the cheaper Ram) but even the domestic models are swelling in size from the work vehicles they used to be.
It may be too late. We are America Jnr. It’s a good way to identify people who don’t give a fuck though.
Consider a summary statement though. Not a big fan of a link with no text.
Tough one to answer.
Is it new-ish or already fully established?
To get a shrubby tree to grow “up” is to remove a lot of lower branches as they form. Lollipopping it would look weird so you would need to choose a framework of branches and selectively prune them into the direction you need.
Do some image searching for guides like these: https://www.uky.edu/Ag/Horticulture/QRLabels/images/pruning cuts 3 adapted from McNiel et al..jpg - if you took the 2 lower branches off the right side shrub, that would encourage some higher growth.
As for the practices, standard arboricutural techniques probably. Cutting at the branch collar with sharp secateurs (Felco are nice), pruning only 25% of total tree volume per year, pruning less needed branches (keep the ones the tree has put a lot of energy into), keeping the tree healthy during pruning events, don’t prune when health is low or conditions are terrible, prune when actively growing (deciduous are pruned before bud burst in Winter) etc.
Barely helpful but 8 hours requires some sort of response. Good luck.
“and, where possible, minimise the removal of trees of a particular size through planning and development processes”
You can tell most trees still would have been removed if the right conditions were there.
They musn’t have read this article before voting. I bet they are going to feel very silly later:
