replacement tree

there was previously a lovely flowering gumtree which the wattlebirds loved growing on the nature strip but it was chainsawed by the shire council I believe. Yesterday, I noticed this new tree being planted further back on the lawn outside the fence of the house in lorimer st. I am doubting that this is a native tree like the gumtree before. I wonder if the shire council has been chainsawing nature strip trees because they hope to cover greensborough in units and grow vegetables on the nature strip. A rather awful Australian tv gardening show which showcases and encourages the planting of foreign gardening plants is on a mission to make this happen all over the country and the shire council seems to be enthusiastic about this and it has been in the local newspaper Wattlebirds are becoming rare here
