Some Dumb Tree

[nzspokes]

The word around here is that its has the Kauri disease anyway as many do. Its just not been tested yet.

Good on him, fuck the developer and his council lackeys.

Sign said [Save "our" Tree] - it (or none of them) were "their" trees FFS! - If they want to save them - buy them!

I think if I'd been in the land-owner's position I would have lovingly watered the beloved tree every night during the occupation - with a large and directional sprinkler.

I bet you fuckin retarded stinking hippies still burn fossil fuels (I'm only basing this on the fact that you cunts are posting on a motorcycle forum, and I'm yet to see one that runs on magical unicorn queef), and im pretty sure trees are far more renewable than dinosaur shit.

Thought about that myself - he shouldn't have been there anyway guess he got a trespass notice served on him?

Spose OSH or some safety NAZI would complain if he was hosed while he was up there!

Just caught the protester on the News who cut down her own native. Ho hum.

I'm pretty sure I used to rent a flat in that cul de sac, recognised the retaining wall leading to the Kauri and a couple of other things in the report. If so I used to walk past those Kauri's every day on my way to work in Titters. That Kauri amazed me every time. 2 minutes from the "village" but a world away from the lattes, bullshit & traffic. I used to pick up some of the bark that fell off, polish it and use it to decorate my wee flat. Yeah, scoff away, lots of good weed in Titters. Came home from the pub in the wee smalls one night & paused for a wizz against that retaining wall, I was off me nana and went over the edge when I looked up from my little fella to see hundreds of glow worms twinkling away. Pretty special in the big city.
Oh, I would not buy a property down their. It gets about 10 minutes sun a year, permanently damp & everything is covered with mould, mildew, fungus, spores ect.
Floorboards? Hell yeah. Mine are a foot wide, have square head nails and been in situ for over a hundred years. To hard for nails now, I have to drill & screw.
I reckon pines are a resource but Kauri's are an icon.

That part definitely made me giggle. But it's not the same you know... apparently

the commons, there oldy.
Theyre my childrens trees.
Dont fuck with my children.

This to me, points out the bullshittery of ownership. A) of the property 'owner'
B) the 'authority' to give CONsent by council.

Kaitiaki motherfuckers.

not if you cut down all the trees and run drainage off your property...

pta. Phytopthora. (fye-toth-rah)

Its like the common cold for kauris (and other species, psa for kiwifruit, gums etc. The aus govt spent shitloads medicating their trees)

anyway- some wont get it, some get it and die, some get it and dont, some get it and get better.
Cutting it down is akin to shooting your grandpa cos he has a runny nose.

[Akzle]

Turns out the tree is only around 140 years old so suddenly not so exciting!

older than any human alive today.
Also older than the legislation by which they intend to kill it, so probably outside their jurisdiction.

[sidecar bob]

What the fuck happened to tazering this idiot's ass out of the tree & arresting him for trespassing & not having anything productive to contribute to society.
