Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jul 26, 2007 6:45 pm I can make it anymore clearer than this:
Do not put a child's playhouse under a poinciana tree ! And here's why: A Poinciana tree originates from South Africa, they are made of softwood and grow very large limbs at near vertical angles to the ground. These limbs weigh lots; over 1/2 ton and the angle they grow on means they will eventually break. 1/2 ton falling 3-4 meters is going to make a bad day for whoever is standing under it. Don't put child's playhouses,swings, sand pits or anything of the like under Poinciana trees. It's best to keep other entertaining areas away from them to. Also; check all your tress monthly and get suspect limbs checked and removed. Poinciana is not the only tree that will drop a limb and kill someone.

Did a search on their web site, but couldn't find any detail about that. Their 2007 Archives only have 4 articles, my understanding is it's a weekly show, so looks like they are not that good at putting information on their web site?? Re: For anyone watching 'Backyard Blitz' last sunday (22 July) 4Jul 31, 2007 7:35 pm Don't do a lot of things done on Backyard Blitz
Jamie D wasn't even qualified the first couple of seasons on the show - he was in tha same class at Tafe as a mate of mine. Re: For anyone watching 'Backyard Blitz' last sunday (22 July) 5Jul 31, 2007 8:17 pm Hey…when you have looks like he does….who needs qualifications!!!
Joking of course, not about his looks!!! But hard to imagine someone without the background giving out info.

Can add something really special to a garden if used right.
As for: "But hard to imagine someone without the background giving out info." Never happens!!!!
