Australia's remarkable flora and fauna are one of its greatest boons, but the sheer uniqueness of Australian wildlife can be a double-edged sword -- species from other parts of the world that are introduced either deliberately or accidentally can wreak havoc on local ecosystems, as the native life is simply unprepared to deal with the growth of organisms it has never encountered before. While cane toads and wild hogs might be two of the more notorious invasive species infesting the Australian countryside, not all invasive species are animals, and the humble pond apple tree, a relatively small and slender tree bearing apple-like fruits, can be remarkably destructive if left to grow unhindered.

About Me

Welcome. My name is Naomi, and I have loved trees for my whole life. As a baby, my mum always set me on a blanket beneath the swaying leaves of our willow tree, and the love and comfort I felt then has carried me throughout my life. I used to climb into branches as a child and write and draw in my journal. As an adult, I bought a home surrounded by trees as soon as I could afford to. Now, my relationship with trees has changed.

Enjoy and I wish you and your trees a prosperous and healthy life.
