Large stand of trees on Garden Island, St Georges Basin.
Native or exotic? Not great pictures, as taken from a kayak. Interesting point - Sepelchre Island, very close by, seems to have none.
Thank you. Any thoughts on how or when it got there? Is it likely to be indigenous? Somehow I suspect not. There are none on the nearby island, so what does that tell us about how it might spread? Only by suckering?
Thanks. I knew it was native. I meant "native" to this island. I suspect it can't be. But maybe it is?? Or seed must have arrived somehow. But if by birds, or wind or however, why doesn't seed make its way to the nearby island?
I would like to be able to confirm this, but we have Androcalva fraseri and rossii on the list and I'm not clear on the difference or distributions. I know on the very far south coast we only have rossii, but at St G Basin I imagine either might be possible. Any thoughts from local plant folk?
