The five year and 150 mm circumference is probably just an indicator they are old enough to flower and fruit, as in some specimens on Mt Mugga Mugga. The sighting I posted today Pyrus calleryana (Callery Pear) had fruit. (I had forgotten that I had recorded this previously with flowers and fruit but the ID had been changed to Pyrus sp. so I didn't find it on the website.)

Nice pictures RAllen, thanks. Dolichoderus scabridus and Dolichoderus doriae are generally very similar looking ants, but doriae has a pair of spines on its shoulders and scabridus doesn't. You can see the spines well in your images. Cheers, Jon

Not sure what the "5 year" limit is about. we know there are trees older than 5 years growing on public space / nature reserves that have not been planted by humans. And the young trees in the reserve east of the Fair would have grown older if not tackled. Once they achieve reproductive maturity, the invasion would have marched on. The Fair trees have been planted in 2012; it takes while to mature and produce offspring. I think FoMM caught the first invasion wave around 8 years later.

@MichaelBedingfield Thanks Michael, Though officially according to Aaron's calculations, he doesn't included the inconclusive sightings, so while the Top contributors page has been broken for a few weeks now, I'm offfically 97 sightings away from 20,000. Aiming for that before I officially claim 20,000 sightings.
