    Default Indian Bean USA

    A visit to Albury's Botanical gardens where we saw this Indian Bean tree recently cut down. Spoke to one of the staff and he said it had been so bad they had to mulch all but what remains. This is being sold off for use I hope who ever buys it makes something worth what was wasted.

    Looks like an interesting timber.
