In Perth, there is worry for the city’s coastline being affected by a fungal disease that is starting to wipe out Norfolk Island pine trees. 

Measures are being taken to prevent further spreading with the removal of eight trees commencing this week, however experts are still concerned other areas will be affected.

Horticulturist Sabrina Hahn expresses her distress, stating she fears for the health of many of the Norfolk Island pine trees and thinks they’re going to lose many many trees.
