I have just been to Forest 87 at the National Arboretum. This is Callery pear 'Chanticleer' planted in 2009. There is fruit on the trees and some suckers. I will add this sighting for information.
The Pyrus calleryana and Pyrus sp. I have reported in nature reserves are young plants - I have not seen flowers yet and there are no suckers.

Thank you.

It is good to know which species in Australia seem to be spreading the seeds.

It is also good to see the time frame in Australia for the CP to go from Introduction to Establishment to Lag and then to Spread, which are the stages that invasive weeds go through before they reach the Ecological Impacts, and then Human Impacts stages. You have the dates that the development and planting happened.

So it is now well into the Spread stage, which started 3 years ago. So it took about ten years for the Spread stage to start.

I hope we can get this stopped before the Ecological Impact stage starts.

Your first image takes a long time to load. Is it a large file? Or is NatureMapr just slow today.
