Default Re: My Namwah Tall and Kandrian!

Thank you very much Bryan!

The leafs dont usually get shredded that much,if at all,and till a month ago there were very few shreds on the leafs,counted in the fingers of a single hand mostly. But then came hurricane strength winds that were strong enough to break one of the 2 major branches of my Grevillea robusta, just to the side of my ''Kandrian'', and bring it crushing down...My ''Kandrian'' was bending with the winds quite a lot but managed to withstand the winds with virtually no damage except a little more finely shredded leafs,which dont look bad at all! Its more palmy looking now

To give you an idea of the winds my plants saw,a few km away,at another property of mine,a tornado formed and totally uprooted 15 olive trees from 20acres of olive trees(almost all the rest had a great deal of broken branches as well) belonging to my father and uncle,plus broke quite a few other trees like some beautiful oaks and some biggish pines near their base from the forest we have preserved within out property!
