The other day I cut all the scrub trees in one section of Kong's Hill. The first panorama is from Sept of 2007 the second from Oct 18th. I think it looks a lot better and now I won't have to increase the water supply for at least another year since the scrub trees will no longer be sucking it up.
I left 6-8 inches of trunk showing on the stumps to give more area for the "Garlon" herbicide to be absorbed.
