Clausena

I have a native clausena, planted as tube stock in April or may of last year. In that time it has grown to probably about 40 or so centimetres.

Is it safe to dig it up (we have to move house) or am I better to leave it for someone else to (probably) not appreciate?

RE: Clausena

g'day pam,

one plant that you can't get a lot of info' on hey, anyway for the most unless they are very small i've never had any joy in transplanting natives of any sort they seem to set their root systems deept then start growing on the top.

the 'clausena' budded seeds you gave me most grew well to the first leaf stage then stagnated and started to die in 4" tubes so put them into 6" pots they still wanted to die some hung on and looked like they wanted to grow new leaves but then wanted to die so put the remainder into 1 gallon pots got one hanging in there but not wanting to grow and another hovering between life and death.

me just can't figure what they need/want tried a very week solution of a seaweed liquid fert but they didn't seem to want that as 2 more died at that stage. so hoping at least one lasts long enough for me to plant it out in the coming summer in the new garden.

maybe give it a go hey the new owner may neglect it and let it die anyway.

Len, I think we both need to go visit Tom and get a few lessons. He's had a good survival rate.

The plant in question was tubestock that I bought at Maleny, which once it was planted has never looked back.

Of interest is that the council at Hervey Bay has had some planted for 13 years, yet they have never fruited in that time.

If there is ANYONE who knows of the location of the small population at Bundaberg, I'll give my eye teeth to have that info PLEASE!!!

RE: Clausena

ok pam,

ready to do just that as i had hoped i could do well with those seeds you gave me, but i am very dissapointed with my efforts ok there was good germination which was strange for me (but that was from your initial efforts), but there after they all just want to die.

they get very well developed root systems but no top growth.

so if i do eventually lose these 2 i can get tube stock from maleny somewhere? and direct me to tom also maybe he can help me save the last 2.

all i can further suggest is to take a good root ball say a bit out side the drip zone and maybe at least the depth of the plant??? it may survive that.

Len, it was Barung landcare. They had a display at the Woodworking festival in Maleny
