Daleys wampidiseased on delivery - Hi Starling, Greg here from Daleys, I just went and had a quick look at some of their mates and it looks like some old two spotted might damage on older leaves.

Avocado rootstock seed - Thanks Rev and Brendan, Strong growing seedlings that have proven themselves is usually what we use as a rootstock. Reed has proven itself as a suitable rootstock, but have had no proven history for Hass seedlings. I have sourced a good supply for this ye..3233 days 12hrs
Dead - Hi Sheila, ylang ylangs are very cold senstitive. Probably the only real hope of success in Victoria would be in a greenhouse to generate some warmth and protect from frosts. Very challenging and frustrating at the same time trying to succeed with a ylang..3566 days 11hrs

Tipuana - Hi Peter, we havn't propagated Tipuana in the last couple of years since it is being reported as a weed in some regions. I will take it off our stock list as there are other worthwhile shade trees available...4240 days 8hrs

Avocados lumps in flesh - Sounds like Fruit Spotting bug, they sting the fruit and leave a hard spot in the flesh just under the skin. Can be a troublesome pest with a lot of tropical fruit..4245 days 19hrs
Haas avocade tree - this is quiet common with Hass to over flower, and drop all its leaves. Sometimes it can be an indication of a stressed tree from a cold winter or dry conditions or even root rot. Hopefully after flowering the tree will re foliate and rejuveniate...4249 days 13hrs
Chocolate sapote - best time to apply white oil to eridicate the scale insects that cause the sooty mould is in late spring. Apply every month through the summer and this hopefully will eventually get rid of the scale and then the sooty mould will dissappear. Another altern..4249 days 13hrs
