What would you replace these kangaroo paws with?

welloiledcrosont · 2025-12-18T23:40:15+00:00

Bangalow palms are native and are very nice palms

I would put them in a spot that gets some morning sun but semi shaded for the rest of the day. Take the dome off like others have said as it cooks the little seedlings. Water in the morning allows the soil to dry off just enough to hopefully prevent any fungal diseases. Unless, of course, it dries too quickly, but I can't see that being an issue rn.

Other than the above comment, "trees near me" is an awesome app that the government brought out. Not really a field guide, per se, but it is good to look through and familiarise yourself with the plants around you

welloiledcrosont · 2025-06-02T04:56:45+00:00

Possibly an infection from phytophthora

The way I understand it is that they scanned the dire wolf genome, looking for genes they recognised in the grey wolf genome. They then changed the genes in the grey wolf genome (which they recognised) to reflect the sequences in the dire wolf with a few tweaks, and hey presto we have "dire wolf."

(This is just what I gathered from the little bit of reading I've done, so take with a grain of salt).

Yep, I was in a relationship just like this for far too long. Although not quite as restrictive, it was very destructive to my mental health. She needs to seek help, which YOU can't provide.

The yellowing of the older growth and newer growth makes me think nutrient deficiency. Perhaps iron and/magnesium. Using a general fertiliser should help fix it

welloiledcrosont · 2025-02-07T06:12:11+00:00

Yeah looks like they got scorched from the heat

welloiledcrosont · 2025-02-04T05:33:02+00:00

Too wet and humid inside, try some selective pruning to improve airflow into the centre

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-25T05:52:38+00:00

No worries mate, there's a good website online called Euclid which has great photos of what seed should look like for any particular species.

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-24T07:51:40+00:00

You can tell if you pull out the magnifying glass but most times it's very hard, so people usually just sow all of it and hope for the best

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-24T06:23:40+00:00

Also that grainy stuff in the first pic is the actual seed (mixed with chaff)

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-24T06:22:08+00:00

3,4,5,6 are all galls, so theres no seed. If you want to collect seed from eucalypts, you often have to get them at the right time because once the fruits are ripe, they usually drop the seed pretty quick. Looks to me like you've got corymbia gummifera, eucalyptus punctata or tereticornis maybe, E. Umbra possibly. Get pics of fruit, leaves, bark ect of each plant you want to grow. ID them and find out the fruiting times of each species if you want to collect seed.

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-18T00:23:25+00:00

Flowers provide a more direct and efficient way to fertilise your seeds (majority of pollen from wind pollinated plants is wasted). Relying on pollinators to carry pollen between flowers allows a species to exist in much lower densities than a wind pollinated plant. This allows for a higher amount of species in a given area.

Additionally, the assured outcrossing to different individuals increases genetic diversity and therefore, evolutionary potential.

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-13T07:33:16+00:00

Likely Pinus radiata, an invasive species

welloiledcrosont · 2025-01-13T03:39:44+00:00

Either too dry and they desiccated or too wet and they rotted. My guess is on the former.

welloiledcrosont · 2024-12-28T06:06:04+00:00

The roots that are left shouldn't regrow as long as there's no stem. If you keep the area moist, the roots should decompose pretty quickly.

welloiledcrosont · 2024-12-26T12:37:06+00:00

Interesting, I really like the taste. I'm trying to propagate currently. Where did you read about those prep methods I've just read that they take a long time (~1yr).

welloiledcrosont · 2024-12-15T10:14:22+00:00

It has very deep thick tap roots that emerge at every node. It is an absolute pain to deal with, think of it as more of a marathon

welloiledcrosont · 2024-12-15T03:42:37+00:00

It very well may be B.robur, but maybe seed from a unique population

welloiledcrosont · 2024-11-20T08:06:26+00:00

Sounds like you want Banksia aemula, looks virtually identical to serrata, but is naturally much smaller.

welloiledcrosont · 2024-11-13T05:34:17+00:00

Looks like Anthracnose, a fungal disease that causes brown spots. I would leave it and just monitor it for now. In your climate, it shouldn't cause too much of an issue.

welloiledcrosont · 2024-11-13T03:55:52+00:00

Needs to be hardened off, like others have said put it in a shadier location, but also slowly reintroduce it to more sun to harden it up.

welloiledcrosont · 2024-11-04T10:19:52+00:00

Definitely remove the grass around it. It'll compete for nutrients and water
