Us, to begin with.
Actually I was talking about plants. Here's a small list I typed up
this evening.
1. Acacia dealbata (Silver wattle)
There are no natives that can be expected to persist here on high,
unirrigated ground, other than fir trees. The only particular value of
fir trees, except to squirrels, is to sawmill owners who live forever.
There won't be any production from a planting for many decades, and even
if there were, the crooks will offer me 10% to take it from me.
Furthermore, fir trees toxify the soil and prevent all but adapted
plants from growing under them.
That really only leaves acacia, the drought-tolerant plant that you can
put on any dry hillside and expect to harvest _useful_ biomass in just a
few years. I'm planning to order 4 more for the front driveway edge
today. I wonder where, exactly, is it going to "invade" to from there?
I'd be reluctant to give it access to water, which it has no need for
anyway.
