This tree is known in Australia as White Cedar or
Cape Lilac and has been proclaimed a weed in Western Australia. I am always
pulling out seedlings beneath my neighbour's tree, but can't complain too loudly
because they got theirs via my son's pea-shooter from a tree which we used to
have!
We have a very dry summer (especially lately) but
most of the trees are probably in places where they get watered.
Incidentally in Perth these trees suffer terribly
from a hairy caterpillar which strips off all the leaves. However they
recover when the caterpillars disappear.
