fruits spikes bagged and root stock dug out on 3 July 2023, possibly some fruits eaten by roos, as there was roo poo right there...

Most likely birds - highly toxic to humans but I don't know whether it would be toxic to other mammals.

Barb can you remember what happened with this one? you have probably seen the alert and the big out-break of 800 plants on the east slope of Mt Majura, see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4543288.

Waltraud see my comment above dated 3 July 2023 - I went back up Oldfields Lane and removed it ASAP after I first saw it.
