Hi Sandy
Can you tell me the type of tree that bugs are living on.
Eumundi Quandong Hi,A pest has been eating the top leaves of my Eumundi Quandongs. The trees look really healthy apart from the top. I've lopped the top eaten sections off, but when it grows back and the leaves are eaten again. I put possum spikes on the fence but i don't think it's possums because they eat all around. However a couple of branches are broken. The flowers and leaves on my Tippuchina against the same fence also get eaten.
Frangipani help please! Hi, Each year my Frangipani's get yellow ends, they look to get worse, the growth is stunted and some have died. Does anyone know what causes this end branch problem? Cheers Pete
Fungus on stem of swamp banksia how to control? thanks
Geranium being attacked Good morning, I am new to this forum, and need some advice. The attached is one of several leaves on a potted geranium. I have searched every leaf on the plant and can find no obvious culprits. This is one of four pots with similar plants, but none of the other pots have been attacked. As far as I can see, there are no caterpillar droppings on any of the leaves. I am hoping someone could advise on what to do. Many thanks
Geranium rot I have some geraniums with rotten stems. Is this due to placement, watering or a disease or pest and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for any advice.
Geranium with faded areas Hello, I have a Geranium on my balcony with what looks like evidence of a pest? I have tried a natural remedy of garlic and chillie however that has not worked. I'm hoping for some suggestions? Thank you

Lemon tree insects Hi all, I recently bought and planted a Dwarf Meyer lemon tree. It seems to be doing well, but it has these insects all over the pot (and in the compost). It doesn't appear thus far they are eating the leaves, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of them! Any ideas on what they are and what I can do to remove? Thanks
Pencil Pines Hi, I have a couple of pencil pines in my front yard, both would be 15M in height, they have started to turn brown in colour, any ideas on the problem and how to remedy? Many thanks in advance.....Paul
Persimilis or Red Spider Mite?? Hello! I recently started my first garden bed and everything has been growing beautifully! I live in NSW Australia and it is currently Spring here. I have been noticing insect life in the garden. Ants, little flies, worms and garden spiders. All was fine until I spotted hundreds of microscopic orange-ish spider looking things crawling all over my soil and mulch. I took a further look with the zoom on my phone camera and found that the bigger ones are orange and the almost unseeable ones are clear. I did a lot of reading on mites yesterday and it seems that the most common pest mite is the Two Spotted Mite (Red Spider Mite). My little friends don't have two spots on the back however, I read they can turn red-orange during cooler weather and seeing as we are just coming out of winter, I'm concerned that this might be the case. I have also been noticing small-ish webs on the soil. I'll add photos below. My plants seem to be doing fine. One of my green bean leaves was eaten but it has slime all over it so I'm guessing a snail made his way through. This has me confused and worried because I can't tell if they are Predatory Mites (Persimilis), Pest Mites, or maybe even just baby spiders from my Garden Spiders!! I have already become emotionally attached to my veggies and I would be devastated if they got eaten up by some tiny pests! I also found a few of these small caterpillar- larva looking things if you can identify. Hopefully not a problem. Please help to identify and if they are pests, any advice on how to organically deal with them would be much appreciated.
Pest eating passion fruit vine Hi, I am on my second attempt at growing passion fruit plants in Vines in Victoria. Something is eating the leaves. I can’t see anything on the plants though. I have been trying white oil and chilli garlic spray but can’t seem to stop them being eaten. I am in the Geelong area. Any help would be appreciated
Rose bugs Hi, just wondering if anyone can ID these bugs that invade my roses and other flowers every year. I only see them this time of year but they totally decimate the flowers very quickly. I've attached a photo of the bugs on the rose and the damage they do to the roses. Thank you Sandy
Sick creeper? Dear garden braintrust For years we have had this lush and healthy creeper (don’t know the name as it came with the house when we bought to 7 yrs ago) on the corner of our house. All of a sudden it seems to have started to wither with leaves initially turning a lighter pale green and eventually brown and falling off. Large areas of the plant are already completely bare. Any ideas/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
What is causing the black on the leaves? Hi, Can anyone please help.... the cause and treatment of the black on the leaves? Thanks for any advice!! Andrew
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
