Somewhere adjacent to the M+S building along Beach Road.
North-east facing heap approx. 0.5m height
South-west facing heap approx. 0.3m height. One large surface root damaged.
Recent soil disturbance due to construction of the M+S building. Distance from edge of trunk to "heap cut" is 0.8m for both sides. The accumulated material was hard but a bit spongy. Width of planter 2.0m.
Peltophorum pterocarpum (Yellow flame tree) - 2.0m girth, 9m height, 12m spread.
Recently crown thinned and topped.
Hand hoe
The area where the bark did not develop fully the bark was decayed was the height of the accumulated material.
The root collar excavation should have been done on the tree on the left as the leaf density is lower than that of the tree on the right, which indicated a possible defect in the root collar.
