What is wrong with my plant G'day - I have a few Dodonaea that I'm about to repot (from a nursery) but notice that a lot of new young leaves are being eaten. I can't seen any bugs on leaves or shoots anywhere on the plants. Is it possible they are being eaten but itinerant bugs? I tried while oil on one of these but appear to have killed it! Grateful for any tips. Cheers Peter

What lawn species is this? Living in Canberra, I've got some bindies to deweed and purchased some Brunnings Feed and Weed. However, it's not advisable to use on buffalo grass so would appreciate any advice on what I'm working with here
What pest is this? Well established Lilly Pillies have these growths on the outer foliage and appears to be slowing killing the plant. One plant was really hit with it but noticed others are also got it now. Have also noticed similar on nearby shrubs. Appreciate any insight on what this is and how to get rid of it. thanks.
What plant is this Anyone know what this plant is? Doesn't like sunlight and seems to set lots of seeds and seedlings abound around the plant.
What tree is this? Can anyone help me identify this tree? A month ago all the leaves were dark green (as seen in one patch in the photo). There has been some heavy rain over last few weeks and now dry hot conditions. The leaves have started to go yellow. Does anyone know why? Is this concerning or normal? Is there anything I can do to stop this happening? Thanks.
What's destroying my climbing rose? Hello. Since coming into new spring growth, my climbing rose has been progressively stripped clean of every new shoot and leaf. The damage occurs at night but not every night. As soon as more new growth starts to appear, the predator is back to strip it off. I thought it was a possum (very active in my neighbourhood) but there is not a single poo pellet anywhere near the rose. No animal droppings at all. Repellent sprays and netting over the rose didn't help. I'm stumped. Please advise. Thanks, Babs
What's Eating my Magnolias? I have recently planted 2 young magnolia trees and have just noticed that something is eating the leaves and buds. It looks like caterpillar holes in the leaves. What do I do??
What's eating the bark of my Camellia We have a 40 year old camellia...now a tree! It is being attacked by something that is eating the cambium layer and ring barking the tree. It leaves behind a 'sawdust' like covering... a web of debris, over the area it is attacking. Can't see any borer holes or insects, although there were millipedes in patches of the 'sawdust covering'
What's wrong with my Kale? So I transplanted my Kale plants 6 days ago from pot to raised bed and the lower leaves have turned yellow. Could this be transplant shock or something else? A bit more info on what I've done- I transplanted them, watered them in and sprayed a little Kelp for fertiliser. They are in a full sun position in a raised bed filled with clay soil (at the bottom), compost and perlite (the fine one as I bought this as an accident was meant to get medium) I also sprinkled a little bit of my power pellets into the whole bed's soil a couple days before planting into it.
What's wrong with my lemon tree ? Hi there , I bought this lemon tree a year ago , re-pot it , gave fertilizer 3/4 months apart but is getting worst by the day. Didn't make new leaves in months but some lemons trying to grow. I water it regularly . Any help appreciated. Thanks Alex
What's wrong with my transplanted tomato? I just carefully planted this Wapsipinicon Peach tomato in a grow bag, with well draining soil and some horse manure lower down in the bag. I put it in last night, and gave it a good water... now, this morning it looks like it's dying. Is this transplant shock or something worse? It is because I planted it at night and the water wasn't absorbed well? Or was it because I put some slow release fertiliser pellets in the hole next to the roots? I may have overwatered it; when I saw the leaves turning dull and losing colour, I gave it a good water so maybe that didn't help. Will it survive? What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance!
What's wrong with this Palm ? Any advice appreciated. Thanks
What’s Eating my Lemon Tree Leaves Hello fellow gardeners Is anybody able to help me to identify what’s eating my lemon tree leaves? I cut the tree right back and now whenever I get new succulent leaves something is eating them. I have searched the plant for caterpillars hopefully can’t find any. I have lucerne straw down and wondered whether something may be living in there. I live inner city and so wondering if it’s vermin or insects. I have bought some netting that I will install once I purchase some stakes. Cheers Karen
What’s Messing With My Lemon Tree Leaves? Leaves are curled from both sides. There are some spider webs too, but I don’t think they’re related. See images. Any treatment advice? Thanks.
What’s this please. Hi all as per the attached photo this “bug” not only grows on the fruit, but also the trunk and branches of the tree. I spray with white oil which seems to kill it, but would like to know what I’m dealing with and is the any way to completely get rid of it for good.
Whats this shrub? Please help identifying this hedge plant
whats wrong with by Lilly Pilly I have a 2 newly planted from pot Lilly pilly sublime trees that are not doing well. One in particular is very dried out with dull leaves that are dry and falling and some burnt tips. I have watered in, applied seasol to roots and on top and general fertiliser when planting. It gets full sun a few hours a day and partial sun rest of day. I have another 5 plants planted at same time doing great so not sure about these two. Could nearby gum tree or teddy bear magnolia be sucking soil nutrients? Please advise I do not want to overwater and drown roots as I’ve read it is a hardy drought resistant plant.
White flower - what is this? Can anyone help me please - I've searched high and low but can't seem to find out what this flower is.
White spots on trunk of Agonis flexuosa Hi - we've got a Peppy/Agonis flexuosa we planted from a pot about a year ago (Duncraig in Perth). The leaves have gone quite yellow and now there are white spots on the trunk. Any suggestions on causes/remedies? Thanks!!
Why are my Zinnia seedlings have gone crispy on the leaves? I’ve recently transplanted my Zinnia seedlings and all the leaves have gone crispy. Does anyone know why? I have hardened them off also
Why has my hibiscus stopped flowering? We have a beautiful Hibiscus Sinensis that we planted last year and it began flowering immediately. It's now more than a metre high, very healthy, lush foliage, covered in buds - but none of them are opening. Even the ones that start to show some colour suddenly drop. We've checked inside the buds and all over the plant - no bugs. The hibiscus is in full sun. We've sprayed it with some Seasol and it's regularly watered by a micro-irrigation system. Would welcome any advice.
Wood Fired Outdoor Oven We wish to build a wood fired outdoor oven, the type you see in Spain and Mexico, made of brick and cement rendered (we think) and usually painted white. The oven has a small entrance not unlike a pizza oven, and it would need to have a chimney. What we are after are some plans or guidelines. Has anyone built one? If so a few tips would be appreciated.
Woody Pittosporums Hi, I’ve been growing 3 pittosporums in 60cm pots and they’ve become rather woody in the lower half. I’m about to transplant them into the garden to form a hedge. With proper care can I expect the woody half to sprout new shoots and thicken up or is it a lost cause?

yellowing of the virgin growing stem leaves on grosse liissie tomatoes Hi, can someone advise me what may be the cause of this problem with my young tomato plants, I have the same yellowing in the leaves in my Kent pumpkins too. When I formed the bed I threw a small amount of Rooster poo into the soil and hoe'd this with my Honda tiller, the PH was neutral from the test I did, the fertiliser is about 2 years old, maybe a bit mre than 2 years. thanks for any info. Fred
Young delphiniums nibbled Nibbled and in some cases cropped. We're in an enclosed garden, with no sign of ANY wildlife. The only other clue is that in that area if I sprinkle green slug pellets at night by morning they've all gone. So maybe it's some nocturnal critter? It's not rabbits. It's not slugs or snails.
Zygopetalum orchid Wanting to know if this type of orchid is best grown indoors and if it does better outside what type of conditions it needs in regard to how much sun, water and how and when to fertilize. Is it frost tender?
