CAMPHOR LAUREL TIMBER SLABS

 

Camphor Laurel Trees were imported into Australia in 1822 and mostly growing in Queensland and New South Wales and is known as a noxious agressive weed. DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that The scientific name for the Camphor Laurel is Cinnamomum Camphora?   For those living in Toowoomba some know it as the ‘Toowoomba Tree’. When visiting Toowoomba the Camphor Laurel Trees can be seen lining the main street. They were introduced into Austraila from Asia in 1822 for ornamental gardens and parks, no doubt chosen for their canopy of shade they provide.

 

Unfortunately the Camphor Laurel is now known to be a very agressive noxious weed growing throughout Queensland and central northern New South Wales. With the help of the birds who eat the seeds of the Camphor Laurel trees, they have successfuly invaded rainforests, pastures and eucalyptus trees impacting Koalas. It is good to know that every Camphor Laurel Tree that is removed we are helping the environment.

New Life For This Old Tree

This gorgeous old Camphor Laurel tree had to go to make way for changes at a local Brisbane school. An Arborist was contracted to cut it down and Tradeware Building Supplies were contacted to salvage the tree.
