The Ochna serrulata, commonly known as the Mickey Mouse Plant or Red Ochna, is a highly invasive environmental weed posing a serious threat to South East Queensland's (SEQ) natural bushland and native ecosystems.

To quickly identify it, look for the unique combination of the fruit - shiny black berries clustered on a swollen, bright red base (the "Mickey Mouse" feature), and its dark green, glossy leaves with finely serrated/toothed margins. It grows as a woody shrub, typically 1–4 metres high, forming dense thickets that outcompete native vegetation.

While Red Ochna is not a restricted invasive plant, all SEQ residents have a General Biosecurity Obligation (GBO) to minimise its risks. For small plants, dig out the entire plant, removing the tap root completely. For larger shrubs, use the Cut-Stump method: cut the trunk and immediately apply a concentrated Glyphosate solution to the fresh stump. Remove all plants before they produce fruit and ensure consistent follow-up treatment of re-sprouts.

If you want to effectively remove lantana from your acreage and restore native vegetation, this is your roadmap to lasting control.

We’re continuing our work on the riparian restoration project along the ephemeral creek at a property in Tarome, Scenic Rim.

Progress So Far:
We’ve made significant strides in weed control, particularly targeting the dense lantana thickets. Some of the lantana has been left to break down in situ, while other areas were manually broken up to help mulch the ground and improve soil health. We’ve also planted 1,000 native trees as part of the Scenic Rim Million Trees Program, including species such as Eucalyptus tereticornis, Melaleuca varieties, and Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak)

Lawn and garden maintenance in Brisbane doesn’t have to be expensive. By staying on top of regular trimming, using pre-emergent herbicides, and choosing low-maintenance native plants, you can keep your garden thriving while saving money. Water smart with drip irrigation, mulch garden beds to reduce weeds, and DIY small jobs like mowing and weeding. However, for tree removal, major hedging, or irrigation setup, hiring a pro saves money in the long run. Follow these practical tips to maintain a beautiful, budget-friendly garden. Cambium Land Management can help create a cost-effective, low-maintenance landscape tailored to your needs.

Native grasses are a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant solution for backyard gardens in South-East Queensland. Whether used as a lawn alternative, for ornamental appeal, or to support wildlife, species like Liriope muscari ‘Isabella’, Weeping Grass, and Lomandra thrive in the local climate. They require minimal watering, provide erosion control, and attract pollinators while adding softness and movement to landscapes. Perfect for garden borders, feature plantings, and meadow-style designs, native grasses enhance biodiversity and sustainability. If you’re looking to create a resilient and attractive garden, Cambium Land Management offers expert guidance on selecting, planting, and maintaining native grasses for long-term success.

Grevillea trees are among the best native species for South-East Queensland, offering vibrant flowers, fast growth, and wildlife benefits. Whether used for hedging, screening, or as feature trees, Grevilleas thrive in full sun and require minimal maintenance. Popular varieties like Grevillea ‘Robyn Gordon’, Grevillea ‘Superb’, and Grevillea robusta (Silky Oak) provide year-round colour and nectar for birds. Adaptable to drought and poor soils, Grevilleas are ideal for enhancing landscapes with minimal upkeep. If you’re looking to add native plants to your property, Cambium Land Management can guide you in selecting, planting, and maintaining Grevilleas for long-term success.

Lilly Pilly trees (Syzygium spp.) are a favourite in South-East Queensland for their dense growth, privacy screening, and resilience in tough conditions. Whether you need a hedge, windbreak, or ornamental tree, Lilly Pillys provide fast-growing solutions with glossy foliage and bird-attracting berries. Popular varieties include Syzygium australe for hedging and Syzygium luehmannii for edible fruit. These trees thrive in full sun to partial shade and require minimal maintenance once established. If you're looking to enhance your landscape with hardy, native plants, Lilly Pillys are an excellent choice. Discover the best planting and care practices with Cambium Land Management.

Wattles (Acacia spp.) are some of the most versatile and fast-growing native trees in Australia, making them invaluable for land restoration, windbreaks, and biodiversity support. Many species improve soil health through nitrogen fixation, while their dense canopies provide essential habitat for birds and pollinators. Whether you need a compact screening tree like Brisbane Wattle (Acacia fimbriata) or a large-scale reforestation species like Blackwood (Acacia melanoxylon), there’s a wattle suited to your property. Hardy and low-maintenance, wattles thrive in diverse landscapes, from urban gardens to rural acreages. Plant with purpose and let wattles regenerate and strengthen your land.
