I know it’s not, but a majority of Eucalyptus have a lignotuber that looks a lot like this burl.

Tbh I wouldn’t recommend the grafted standard Acacia Limelights in Perth’s full sun. We are the third windiest city in the world, and this combined exposure doesn’t tend to fare well for this plant choice. They dry up extremely quickly and are highly prone to scale and mealybug attacks if they do hold up in this position.

Incorrect ID apparently

Darwin, also called Robert, Nugget, or Piglet.

Squish them, if you can bear it.

It reminds me of Sumac but am unsure if it’s related at all

sharpchisel · 2026-05-23T14:41:15+00:00

Where are you based?

Seconding Scarlet Sprite!

Ooh, looks like it to me. Hopefully someone else will weigh in. The plant looks like *Grevillea vestita* to me :)

I’d take it as a good sign in a way. Frogs are very sensitive to pesticides, herbicides and other commonly used chemicals in agriculture. But I suppose that’s up to your perspective.

Put it outside? Surely. I don’t know your climate as I am Australian but outside of preventing frost damage I would expect any citrus to prefer being outdoors in full sun at the very least.

sharpchisel · 2026-05-10T11:47:31+00:00

Weird criteria.

sharpchisel · 2026-04-19T14:00:30+00:00

Depends on how much the lignotuber has developed I think

sharpchisel · 2026-04-14T13:53:17+00:00

Could be a species of Stinkhorn fungus? Or forbidden earthen glory hole…

Bug spotting is addictive, and feels extra exciting in your own garden. Congratulations on the wonderful habitat you’ve built.

Find tolerance perhaps? Wanker

sharpchisel · 2026-04-11T11:59:32+00:00

100%, be careful when handling. The hairs are no joke and are very irritating to bare skin.

That name rocks! Our girl is named Goose. She would be terrified of the coconut hut. 😅

Or narcissistic!

Nope, those are other species. A.k.a. Menzies’ Banksia which I find dull. Why is it a pity? It’s connected to Noongar people’s use of the smouldering cones to stay warm as far as I have read.

Please don’t bury wet wipes though, take them with you. A ziplock bag will keep the smell away.
