A native shade tree for in the lawn

We're redoing our whole backyard at the moment, it gets super hot (Perth) with no shade and I want to put a native between our nature play and lawn area for some shade. Something that will get tall quickly, decent cover but won't damage the lawn or retic - any ideas? Thank you!

Please ID this beautiful plant

Spotted in Red Hill, Victoria. It was humming with bees and I think it would be great for my yard.

Any help identifying this plant would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best way to trim dead leaves

Is there a trick to quickly trimming off the dead brown leaves. It’s pretty slow going with secateurs.

Is my hornbeam dying??

I have had these fastigiate hornbeams for around 6 months. same nursery , same potting procedure and watering regime. About 2 weeks ago one started with the leaf browning issue. It has become progressively worse to the point the whole tree is affected. The other plant is unaffected. Anyone have any experience with diagnosing and maybe saving it?

Transplanting old roses

Hi folks, front yard next door is getting bulldozed and the owner has kindly offered me his old Rose plants if I want them, which I'd love.

They're pretty old, 20 years I'd guess. Not overly big but do have an old base. We are in Perth so coming into hot weather. What would be the best way to move them please, within the next few weeks? Thank you

Potted tree for a Melbourne light well?

Looking for recommendations for a potted tree/tall plant for a tough-to-access light well in Melbourne. Want a plant that:

  • survives in a pot with minimal human intervention (e.g. lives on rainwater without regular feeding or pest control)
  • Australian native preferred
  • grows tall and provides leafy views for the ground floor and first floor apartments facing the light well
  • allows light to filter through the light well (we want some privacy from opposite windows but nothing so dense it blocks out all the light)
  • nice flowers / smells would be a bonus!

Previously a mulberry tree grew up between the cracks in the pavement and was very healthy, but we had to remove it due to the risk of roots interfering with the building infrastructure. Hoping to replace our leafy greenery with something potted but don’t know what will survive in this space.

URGENT!!! PLEASE ANYONE HELP

This weed spray was applied onto the soil approximately 15 cm away from my garden rose base (of 30+ years) and about 24 hours ago.

I'm really worried about the health of the roses.

Seeking any possible advice on how to slow down the rate of absorption through the roots and prevent the rose from dying.

Any idea what this is?

I don't recognise it as one of my common weeds. Tiny leaves and a very low ground cover.

Tips for daffodils that have stopped flowering but still very green?

Have a heap of daffodils in the garden. I'd like to replace them with something that flowers over summer, but even tho the daffodil flowers died about 2 months ago, the leaves are laying over but still very green and only the very tips are just starting to brown.

I dont think i have enough room anywhere to transplant all of them while i wait for them to die down.

What are my options here?

Why do these baby limes keep falling of my lime tree instead of growing?

We didn't get any limes last year, so we've been watering and fertilizing it this year in the hopes to get some limes.

There's plenty of the baby limes, but we keep finding more and more falling to the ground. What are we doing wrong?
