New plantings

With cat protection ... sadly the neighbourhood is a bit cat-infested at the moment. Obviously better than rats...

This is some kind of (hopefully) dwarf casuarina.
Similar hopes for this banksia - at least it has small leaves.

 This is shooting up - hopefully not a presage of future greatness.
 Looks amazingly like a juniper, but apparently not.
Very small indeed.
 There are a few of these in the neighbourhood, they're very indigenous to the Cooks river. On the evidence of the area, 3 meters should be about tops, but the label, I have to say, is threatening a lot more. Could be chainsaw territory!
Mind you, we've been killing a lot of plants in the last 2-3 years. Who knows how many of hese will survive!
