Salinization is a major problem in parts of Australia, I can't imagine people doing it deliberately (in the modern era - I know that "salting the ground" was a war tactic in the past).


We have two big, old trees in our backyard which we might have to get rid of - sadly. Both are just ... too big, too dangerous for the suburban setting. The roots of one are invading the plumbing, the other has already had a heavy damn branch fall and break the shed roof.

Salting still does occur in some parts of my home state.

We had a massive tree in the front yard that we had to get rid of because the roots were working their way into the foundations. we still have a maple tree in the backyard which has become a major source of amusement for the cat as he'll climb up it and then meow until one of us brings him down

Saw this article and thought of this thread

another comment in a thread made me think of this, where there any updates?

My guess would be "Court System". These cases can take between 6 months and 5 years. So he probably can not update it until the case is settled.

I too am hoping there's legal action currently in the works and everyone's just waiting for it to wrap up...

Although an update of the form "It's before the courts, scheduled trial date is YYYYMMDD, and I can't tell you anything more until it's resolved" shouldn't get him in trouble but would at least let us know what's going on.

Adding my vote to the "Holy shit, they did what???" and "Hope there's an update soon!" crowds.

[Dave1982]

Well, a not-exciting update....MIL says her attorney thinks the case will be settled by Christmas....







.......next year. 2016.

[Ironclad Alibi]

Wow! In less than two years. Must be on the rocket docket.

[Gilhelmi]

That is oddly fast. Odd in a good way.

[Rebel1012]

I know its not Xmas yet but anything moving on this yet?

[Sparklyturtle]

It's now March 2016. Any news?

There was a huge eucalyptus tree at the head of the lot where my mobile home sat, and my across-the-street neighbor was always expressing concern that it would fall on my mobile home. Since it was at the head of the lot and about 12 feet off to the side, it would have had to fall in a funny direction to hit my mobile home. In fact, my neighbor's home was at more of a risk than mine was. Anyway, that eucalyptus tree eventually died in a prolonged drought and had to be removed when it started dropping huge branches (fortunately in an otherwise unoccupied driveway). It was about 50 feet tall.

will be settled by Christmas....

Probably won't hear much for a while yet.

Is it Christmas yet?
