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.
