Grewia

Post by Haydenmc »

So it turns out if you repot your lavender star after it has flowered but before it pushes new growth it will drop all it leaf and look dead.
So I've let it be for about 3 weeks and finally the new buds are starting to move, as good a time as any for a little tidy up and some light wiring.Image

Fosters? seriously? ... Fosters!

Mate, you need to either give up smoking or stop licking a dead parrot. Because your taste buds are in need of a serious make over.

Fosters...... .... ... seriously... :palm:

Well. Grewia is a very very hardy species. Very hard to kill, that is!

Ah Foster. Brings back memories of the 2000 olimpics when Fosters donated $1to the aussie athelets for every slab/case of beer sold. I must of contributed close to $50 to the athletes in the 14 day it was held :aussie:
Havent drank it since :D

Beautiful tree. Love the flowers. I just ground layered mine as the trunk is a bit to long. I had to prune drastically to as they are prone to spiny growth. In nature they like to act as creepers and use other trees to extend their growth. One has to keep it in check constantly.
