Say good bye to Causuarina eqisetifolia

We had a Habitat/Environmental Assessment done and we will be required to remove Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper Trees because they are considered exotic/nuisance species. Pictured above is the Australian Pine which is about 5 stories tall. We aren't even sure what it's going to take to get that tree down. These nuisance trees push out native species and as a consequence alter the native habitat. It is, however, a very pretty tree.
