Hello Jack & and al,
I think you are probably right. I have recently been driving through
suburbs and streets in Sydney Metropolitan Area that I last saw as a
child and I have been amazed at the changes in the land and streetscapes .What I
have always recalled as the hot and dusty places of childhood , are now
completely altered by the plantings of trees and bushes which have matured over
the years and now present a picture of verdure which was not there during the
years I spent in these areas. Street plantings of what were rather scrawny
trees and bushes have magically become the green and shady
subjects which were envisaged by their planters years ago. I think
that what we are starting to see is a recolonisation of urban areas due to
the fact that many of these now mature street, park and garden plants are
producers of nectar, pollen, seeds, berries, fruits , attract insects and
provide security. Unfortunately, having reached this desirable state , someone
will want to cut them down.
