Richard Pennicuik tree dangerous not native

""It's one of the eucalypts that sheds big limbs," Mr Harris told WAtoday.com.au.

"They can shed terribly big limbs and you wouldn't know (if they were about to)."

Mr Harris is an engineer by profession. The tree is native to Victoria, NSW and southern Queensland.

He said fumes built up in the limbs of Eucalyptus Melliodora causing them to crack at unpredictable moments."

Widow Killer takes out power line in Gosnells ... council shrugs shoulders

Last night around 10.30pm a large branch fell out of one of the Window Killer trees made famous in Thornlie by the Tree Man, the branch fell onto the power wire running across our property causing a spark right up the street to the nearest transformer, waking the whole street, most came out to see the damage, the pole at the base of the transformer on McNamara Drive shows evidence of burning and the Fire Brigade attended to put it out, our neighbour has been without power since.











the tree was earmarked for a "trim" but budget restraints seem to delay, all other trees similar to this one were removed last year from our street, all of these trees were on the list to be removed along with the Tree Man's tree several years ago, currently the wire is being reattached to the neighbors property even though once in place it will come in contact with branches from the tree still, and the tree is showing evidence that another or several more branches will soon fall. All of the money that our council spent to fight the Tree man and yet they seem reluctant to take out this tree that has actually caused damage.
