Tree-mendous gloss in Kilcoy
Three fully grown trees have been planted by Somerset Council in Yowie Park, Kilcoy, as a replacement for the recently removed invasive Cadaghi trees.
Council began removing the Cadaghis (Corymbia torelliana) in October 2024 because they are regarded as an environmental weed in southeast Queensland, causing infrastructure damage, competing with endemic species, and producing a sticky resin.
The replacement trees, two Maple Silkwoods (Flindersia pimenteliana) about 8m tall and one Coolwyn Gloss (Magnolia grandiflora) about 5m tall, were planted on Tuesday, January 14 in Yowie Park.
The Coolwyn Gloss was selected as a feature tree for the park, complementing the Maple Silkwoods.
A Coolwyn Gloss was also planted in Pipeliner Park, Esk on the same day.
