This is what happens if you ignore a weed growing on your lawn for a while. It grew to over four metres and had thorns all along the stem. In an effort to convince me that I should remove it, my wife found out that it is a Giant Devil’s Fig, which is classified as a “Noxious weed” in Brisbane. After much nagging, I chopped it down before the native bats could eat its fruit and spread it further.

And yes, my lawnmower is missing a front wheel…
