Both integrifolia sentinels I bought died during the extreme heat wave we endured. They were not dried out. I can't explain it other than intolerance to extreme heat. They were well watered.
All my normal integrifolia are alive and loved the heat. But the sentinels just carked it.
It's a shame because they had the cutest foliage and nice gnarly bark.
Confirms my theory about sticking mostly to species.

Would it be too late to repot a B. Integrifolia in Sydney tomorrow, it has heaps of new growth on it and I have a new pot for it, so I would probably have to do a bit of root pruning to fit it in, with the weather like it is up here with showers and the high humidity,should be alright I would imagine as everything is growing like crazy at the moment.
Will see everybody at the market on Sunday,
Should be OK.
Give it a light top prune only so that it still has plenty of foliage left on it. this keeps the root system exercised and not die form root rot; the only usual suspect of death in B integrifolia .
Cheers,

Thanks Grant
Do I need to trim any off the top ,as it seems a shame to cut all the nice new growth off.
Thanks Paul
