My viewers on YouTube voted for this #livestream... trying for 2.30pm AEST if anyone here is interested.
In Darwin, we have two of these horrible trees that just won’t die.
They have a big deep trunk with big nasty roots and milky sap in the leaves.
We are currently trying to dig one out but it’s a serious job. How do I murder this so it never comes back.
I'm in Canada. Would like to try to grow some species. I really australian legumes but I have a feel like they wouldn't be the easiest to grow.

Hi everyone!
There is a huge cupressus macrocarpa at my childhood primary school (I’m 35 now) that has been marked for removal. They’re building new rooms.
It’s been there for many decades, I have so many fond memories of playing imaginatively in its branches; the base is shaped somewhat like a motorbike. It’s lovely.
I live in a residential area in Tasmania. I just really want a piece of this tree to continue living 😔 any ideas or advice? I have literally never grown a cutting before. I don’t even know how to take one! Obviously I’ll do some Googling but would love to hear your advice too, thank you!
Hi all, just wondering what this shrub is? I have others that have grown quite big (3m in height) so it likes my garden, hence the interest in trying to get some more going.
Thank you
I repotted this from a garden bed which i filled with native wild flowers seeds. I gave up on the garden bed recently, as my cat kept digging everything up, but I noticed this guy looked different to all the other grasses and weeds.
I want to plant some of these in my garden since the combination of these white flowers, banksias and native grasses make birds very happy! I’ve tried looking it up but I can’t find what it is??
Hi there, I am passionate about Australian plants and I have a blog and youtube channel to explore and share my experiences in the garden. I have started a series of plant profiles '90 Second Natives" where I try to share everything I know about a specific plant in 90 seconds. The problem is that it's hard to choose which plants to prioritise featuring. This seems like the perfect community to ask... Which plants would grab your interest?
I have a grafted finger lime (Judy’s Everbearing) and after a few years I need to repot it and I realised I am not entirely sure what food I should be giving it. Native specific food, or citrus fertiliser? I usually use Neutrog Bush Tucker for my natives or Neutrog citrus for my other citrus. I think they’re both made from a base of chook poo.
It gets worm castings / worm tea and a bit of seaweed/fish soil conditioner, but it’s finally starting to set some fruit so I want to make sure it gets the best chance (aka I get the best chance to eat the fruit ;) )
Would love some guidance!
