The fig trees are either going or being pruned at the south end of the lake. Their (introduced) wood is too soft and inviting for the (introduced) polyphagouns shothole borer which likes to introduce a fungus that it farms in the holes inside. This is seen as too much of a threat for (introduced) agricultural trees such as avocados on the city’s edges. And seeing as there is no (introduced) chemical strong enough to kill them, the (introduced) land managers of the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development have decided to remove (introduced) limbs or whole (introduced) trees.
