Great video Sam...that is so sad about those trees being stolen. I'm not show my trees anymore on Facebook. There are a lot of jealous people out there. All we are trying to do is grow our trees. We get a connectation with our trees. It's a great hobby. Some people you tell you are into bonsias they laugh at me.
Hopefully everything gets sorted out with the fungus. Hopefully Nigel's channel gets sorted out with that fungus. And hopefully the fungus that has the stolen trees is found. Fungus everywhere nowadays.
Nice tree mate! Virus/fungus things are weird. I've had a couple of episodes and never ot to the bottom of what it was. Sad about the stolen trees, and about Nigel too. Covid and a hacker. Hope it works out.
Good to see some eucalypt work getting done mate, gives me some inspiration for my few blue gums in training. Also those bonsai stolen in Mawson lakes was in my old mans street, there where reporters asking us questions a couple of weeks ago but we didn't know anything, apparently approx 20 trees were taken😔
Make sure you rake up the fungal infected leaves. Water tree from the bottom since the spores are in the ground. If you water from the top, the fungal spores will go up on the tree with the water splashes. There is a organic brand call Monterey Liquid Copper Fungicide. Just a thought.
I am wondering about burning the old leaves, soaking them in water and then using that to water the tree. Reinforce to the tree that it has suffered a fire incident, and stimulate all the latent back budding in roots, trunk and branches. It certainly has the bones of a venerable old denizen of the bush!
Maybe some soapy water on the soil and then a rinse being careful not to splash onto the trunk. Trash the leaves and don't compost them. Safer that way.
sorry to hear the bad news. hate it when I hear of trees being stolen. Went looking for Nigel for a weekly update now I know why I could not find it. Please remember to clean your scissors after cutting that tree as well. It should be fine I have seen it on the gums in the ground at my place they seem to drop those infected leaves and carry on.
Strong, copper sulphate spray for fungus. Clear up the dead leaves, spray the trees as well as the soil. Should do the job. Good luck.... Don't worry. Won't tell Lawry shhh 😂

Yeah it's hard. Obviously everyone knows I have bonsai now but yes being quite does mean nobody knows you have trees to steal.

Ha ha very true. Good news is Nigel is back 😇
Cheers Sam, that Gum is in good hands.
Ha ha I'm sure it will be fine.
No new buds yet though. 🤣

Shot mate. Wow soo close to home. Surely someone would be able to dog them in

OK maybe I'll look at some fungicide

I mean worrh a try for sure. I'm also wondering if it is not smoke related and more about the defoliation?? Soo many questions 😉

Yeh OK. Def doable on bonsai trees 🌳

Yep should be fine 😀
