Poor little things. No hope of them perhaps still being alive at the base of the tree? ๐Ÿ˜ข

Unfortunately not. Tree is in the backyard of a known anti-vegetation anti-mess maven. That is, a person who dug up ALL the bare earth in the backyard except for the tree (which is huuge and on the council register) and replaced it with tamped gravel and astroturf to save on mowing. Has been known to apply roundup to the nature strip in the street at the first hint of a weed, and talks frequently about hating 'mess'. Not generally liked as a person.

Those people belong in apartments.
