Common name: Chinese Celtis Latin name: Celtis sinensis FAMILY: CANNABACEAE/ULMACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: W3 Description Habit: Deciduous, small to medium tree to 15m with broad crown and greyish trunk and branches. Leaves: Simple, alternate, slightly too<strong>the</strong>d (except for basal 1/3), mildly rough to touch, dark dull-green upper, paler beneath, 3-veined from <strong>the</strong> base. Flowers: Inconspicuous cream-green. Fruit: A single-seeded berry which ripens from green to orange to black at maturity. Ecology: A significant transforming environmental weed and agricultural weed, capable of forming dense impenetrable thickets. Chinese Celtis produces abundant fruit which readily germinates beneath <strong>the</strong> parent tree to form a dense stand where it outcompetes native vegetation. Dispersal: Seed which is readily spread by birds and occasionally as a contaminant of dumped garden waste or mulch. Seeds do not seem to require passage through gut for viability and hence dispersal in riparian systems – unaided by animals – is common. Control HAND: Small plants can be hand-pulled, ensuring <strong>the</strong> tap-root is removed. CHEMICAL: Dense infestations of seedlings or small plants can be foliar sprayed with glyphosate @ 10mL L -1 + 1g 10L -1 metsulfuron methyl (eg Brushoff). Plants too large for hand pulling – but up to 100mm diameter - can be cut close to ground level and immediately painted with undiluted glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive). Chisel or drill and inject larger trees with undiluted glyphosate @ 2mL per cut/hole, holes 100mm apart and as close to <strong>the</strong> ground as possible (also treat any dominant surface roots).
Common name: Chinese Tallow Latin name: Triadica sebifera (Syn. Sapium sebiferum) FAMILY: EUPHORBIACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: W5 (Environmental Weed) Description Habit: A deciduous tree usually to 8m, with a spectacular maroon autumn leaf colour. Tallow tree should not be confused with <strong>the</strong> bleeding heart tree (Homalanthus populifolius), a native rainforest tree in <strong>the</strong> same Family (Euphorbiaceae). Leaves: Leaves are dark green above, paler below and distinctively heart-shaped with a blade to 9cm long and to 7.5cm wide. The leaves are arranged alternately and <strong>the</strong> petiole is often longer than <strong>the</strong> blade. Flowers: Tallow tree produces slender spikes approximately 100mm in length of tiny yellowish green flowers in late spring to summer. Male and female flowers are on separate plants. Fruit: The fruit is 1.2cm long and 1.4cm wide, initially green <strong>the</strong>n black, three lobed and contains three white seeds covered in a chalky coating of tallow. Ecology: A significant transforming environmental weed and agricultural weed, capable of forming dense impenetrable thickets. Over 130,000 seeds can be produced per tree per year. Germination success can be as high as 62% (Singh et. al. 1993). Tallow also spreads by suckering following cutting or burning. The tree is generally not tolerant of deep shade but is fast growing and capable of invading rainforest gaps and margins as well as partially shaded forests such as melaleuca swamps or wet sclerophyll. Dispersal: Seeds are eaten by birds and float on water, and hence are easily spread by floods (Hosking, pers. comm.). Control HAND: Small plants can be hand-pulled, ensuring <strong>the</strong> tap-root is removed. CHEMICAL: Dense infestations of seedlings or small plants can be foliar sprayed with glyphosate @ 1.0% + 1g10L -1 metsulfuron methyl (eg Brushoff). Plants too large for hand pulling – but up to 100mm diameter - can be cut close to ground level and immediately painted with undiluted glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive). Chisel or drill and inject larger trees with undiluted glyphosate @ 2mL per cut/hole, holes 100mm apart and as close to <strong>the</strong> ground as possible (also treat any dominant surface roots).
