Yep, need help help against lantana camara and ligustrum robustum(privet) also!!
I would love to leave them intact if they were not such a problem, basically the whole mountain range is a monoculture of them with low plant and animal diversity, so the only choice is to remove them to prevent droughts, conserve biodiversity and create flowering period during the whole year.
Interesting idea! Eucalyptus tends to burn pretty well. I’ll look into this.
