Not sure... All the stronger plants were brought in for the winter.. (On kitchen window ledge)


Not enough room for all of them.. The weaker ones might not survive..

Bonniebird, if it's just uprooted, it might be OK if you replant it.


Worth trying, anyway.

Thanks Sue, its about 20 feet tall and the root ball is small, like on a cordyline, was wondering if it could be replanted, maybe we'll have to chop it then re plant as it wouldn't stay up by itself, will give it a go, thanks! I have pics but never know how to get them on!

Hi Bonniebird


This thread highlights your plight.. http://www.au.gardenweb.com/forums/load/oznative/msg0208170422804.html

It would seem that Acacia dealbata is naturally sucseptible to uprooting in high winds.


Have a read, but does not give much hope :(

Can you not find a local acupuncturist to treat them?

;-)

If it hasn't completely uprooted, you may be able to salvage it. Page 14 of this document has some useful information: http://hort.ufl.edu/woody/documents/FR172.pdf Apparantly, much may depend on the type of tree, its age, and whether the tree trunk is narrower than 4 inches. Either way, it's worth seeking the advice of a trained aborist.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
