That growth rate doesn't seem right. Even pine trees don't grow that fast.

What diameter is the base of this tree? Rosie Cooney from ONC says "No trees over 5 years old (ca 150mm) have been detected by weeds and biosecurity teams - please do let us know if you see any."

Yes :-) Our 282nd native plant species by our (conservative) counting system bringing the total number of all native species reported on the PNR to 1,102. The rate of increase has slowed since the 2020 to 2024 boom but new species keep turning up with the help of expert identifiers like you.

Hmmmm. Tentatively i've identified both sets of photos to D.fusca through the Plantnet key. The key seperates D.fusca from D.stricta by the presence of papillose hairs on the stem (smooth in D.stricta); the stems of these plants appear to be hairy. I would like to do a little bit more digging into this one before confirming however, it is an atypical site for D.fusca and it would be a VERY typical site for D.stricta being in that sandstone peppermint country a little closer to the coast.
