Sulfur won't kill it. like mentioned you need a systemic fungicide , Some fungal problems can not be treated but if you use the sulfur and the systemic spray it will control outbreaks.. If you don't want to use systemic sprays best bet is it use copper based sprays and isolate the sick ones..

copper garden implements and the secrets of H2O
oncewhywechange replied to saylor twift's topic in Chill Space
I would not grow anything you eat without getting a soil test by a certified soil tester. Making sure no heavy metals are present. We all know about them in large fish... -
LMAO, Cheers to another 5000 years.

Id please on that bridgesii clone
oncewhywechange replied to Pedropark's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
There's a big problem also with semi monstrose TB's in oz. A lot of them are been sold as seperate clones. Examples are, Melted wax, Alko, Anna,Tripitaka, sina and so on. some of these clones are the same but a few are different crosses of bridgesii... I just name the unknown ones as semi monstroses. a few like kai and bruce are very recognisable. -
A few snaps of my cactus collection.

Id please on that bridgesii clone
oncewhywechange replied to Pedropark's question in Cactus & Succulent Identification
That's why there should be a cultivar registration on this species. Here in oz we have gone a little over board with 'clone' names without any real info on the breed history. Saying this I agree with change on this, there is a lot of strains of clone A in oz and a few rare clone B's... Or vice versa, Lol -
Citrus trees cross pollinating / hybrid?
oncewhywechange replied to saylor twift's topic in Chill Space
I agree, but the eureka can grow into a very big tree and the growth habits are very different to a lime. A very sour juicy lemon with little to no seeds. Best way to ID a citrus is to crush the leaf, If it smells like a lime it's a lime, If it smells like a mandarin it's a manda...- 8 replies

Citrus trees cross pollinating / hybrid?
oncewhywechange replied to saylor twift's topic in Chill Space
Also they are seedless and the tree is nearly thornless. [Not like lemons]. If your citrus are growing very close they can be naturally crossed by bees but it does not effect the fruit . The fruit stays true to the mother tree . Only the seed will be crossed. That means, only the seed growing plant will be the cross. Hope that makes sense, LOL. With your other question, You can buy mutli citrus grafted to one stock, Or you can get a good stock and do multi grafts yourself . I am not a fan of mutli grafts as they don't bear much fruit. -

Mugwort ID / Question about use

Wormwood -
Hey mate, Would love some seed please, I have had a good go at a few tassie native species , l lost a bunch due to humidity but have worked out a good mirco climate now and the SA and TAS species are growing well. With the phedra, mealy and scale are having a good go at it. ants are travelling in need for moisture. it's been a very dry winter up here. no big out breaks of it so I will let the good bugs take care of it.

Three Brothers and replanting
oncewhywechange replied to Drake1337's topic in Australian Native Plants
Yes, staking is a must with all acacia's I believe , as they grow to fast for there root system . You can remove the stake usually after 2 to 3 years when they slow down growing and start looking like a tree. I don't use no inoculation or other soil from another species for courtii. they grow and perform well without it. -
Three Brothers and replanting
oncewhywechange replied to Drake1337's topic in Australian Native Plants
Hey, I plant out my natives early autumn and early spring. Have planted out this time of the year but have found in late winter we are hit with bad westy winds and the plants can get shocked by this. -
