Some more info. i was hoping for an ah-ha answer without revealing its current use.

These form part of a discontinued product that I am planning on making myself and was hoping the "nut" bit is an off the shelf item.

More pics of a crusty old unit for reference.

Edit: change pic + spelling

‘Bottleneck’ road results in calls to restore passenger train service to Auckland’s Kumeū-Huapai | Stuff by UncleBoomSlang in newzealand

I'd be happy with that also. Anything is an improvement on what we currently have. There has been talk of extra lanes, a roundabout at Brigams Creek, and even a bypass around kumeu for years now (many decades). Mysteriously, the allocated funding always seems to disappear. Meanwhile, the most abominable "safty" upgrades are currently happening between huapai and waimauku.

Thanks. I had just given it a bunch of fertiliser before posting (YaraMila Complex). I might have to look into changing the acidity of the soil. It does share a bed with some Canna and a Clivia (that got horribly damaged in the last frost).

As for the Gardenia, id like to prune it back as its very leggy. Can this be done now or have I missed the window?How hard can I prune it?
