Why are some species with a medium or high cyclone resilience rating included in the list of Trees Recommended NOT to be Planted in Darwin ?
Most of the species with a low cyclone resilience have been recommended to be avoided in plantings in Darwin. In addition, there are species that are highly cyclone resilient but are not recommended for planting in particular locations for other reasons such as being allergenic/poisonous, are invasive, or have nuisance fruit. These species are also included in the list of Trees Recommended NOT to be Planted.
Recommendations are for the City of Darwin municipality.
