Common name: Cocos Palm Latin name: Syagrus romanzoffiana FAMILY: ARACACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: W5 (Environmental Weed) Description Habit: Tree to 15m with single, straight trunk, frequently planted in municipal areas and private yards. Leaves: Large (to 3m), whorled and compound with many long leaflets. Seedlings do not have divided cotyledons as in Bangalow Palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana). Flowers: Cream to white in large, showy panicles. Fruit: is an orange, fleshy drupe (ie single seeded) 10mm in diameter. Ecology: Similar to that of Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis). Well suited to <strong>the</strong> tropics and sub-tropics, it grows readily from seed which often originates from municipal and private amenity plantings. Large numbers of seedlings usually germinate beneath parent trees and particularly where seed has ‘rafted’ into piles along stream banks. Dense stands are uncommon, but large numbers can establish in forest types usually inhabited by o<strong>the</strong>r endemic palms such as Bangalow and Cabbage Palm (Livistona australis). Dispersal: Seeds are eaten and spread by birds, flying foxes, possums etc. Control As for many woody weeds, control is best undertaken as early as possible while <strong>the</strong> plant is as small as possible. HAND: Seedlings can be hand-pulled, but young plants quickly develop a strong, fibrous root system making hand-pulling difficult. Juveniles can be chipped out. CHEMICAL: Juveniles can be cut close to ground level and immediately painted with undiluted glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive). Larger palms can be treated by chiselling or drilling around <strong>the</strong> trunk close to <strong>the</strong> ground 100mm apart and filling with 2mm of undiluted glyphosate per hole.

Common name: Coffee Latin name: Coffea arabica FAMILY: RUBIACEAE ORIGIN: Noxious Weed Category: n/a Description Habit: Shrub to 4m with dense, dark, glossy foliage to ground level. Usually a single trunk <strong>the</strong>n branching from 300mm upward. Leaves: Simple, opposite to 120mm, oblanceolate and drawn out to a ‘drip tip’, wavy margin. Adult leaves have several domatia in <strong>the</strong> axis’ of <strong>the</strong> mid-vein and several lateral veins. Flowers: Clustered, small white flowers in leaf axis’, fragrant. Fruit: A red, fleshy, ovoid (olive-shaped) drupe (ie single seeded) to 15mm. Ecology: Coffea Arabica is an emerging weed on <strong>the</strong> mid-north coast, but well established in nor<strong>the</strong>rn New South Wales where it has escaped cultivation from households and plantations into adjacent forests. It is particularly well suited to high-rainfall, frost-free, red-soil environs where it readily invades in-tact rainforests in deep shade conditions. The highly visible and palatable fruit are dispersed by birds and <strong>the</strong> plant is capable of rapid spread across a wide range. The tree is capable of setting viable fruit after 3 years. Dispersal: Seeds are eaten and spread by birds. People readily plant it as a feature tree or for its edible fruit. Control As for many woody weeds, control is best undertaken as early as possible while <strong>the</strong> plant is as small as possible. HAND: Seedlings and juveniles can be hand-pulled, but young plants quickly develop a strong tap root. CHEMICAL: Juveniles can be cut close to ground level and immediately painted with undiluted glyphosate (eg RoundUp Biactive) or sprayed with 1.5g10L -1 metsulfuron methyl (eg Brushoff) and/or 20mL L -1 of glyphosate. Larger plants can be treated by chiselling or drilling around <strong>the</strong> trunk close to <strong>the</strong> ground 100mm apart and filling with 2mm of undiluted glyphosate per hole.
