Weeds

Well the tree in the centre of this pic isn definitely not a weed, but rather a red cedar, but it has had to struggle valiantly to grow above the profusion of weeds that now substitute for an understorey along the side of the road coming down to Leycester Creek bridge, just before our place.
Weed growth is rampant up here as you could imagine.
Great swathes of native trees and shrubs are smothered in various climbing weeds which propagate their wicked kind so easily. There is so much weed growth up here ranging from camphor laurels and slash pines through to everything else - lantana and privet and a myriad of others I don't know. I can't imagine they will ever be managed - just naturalised I would think.
