Leptospermum laevigatum Australian Tea Tree. von (1858), Catalogue of the plants under cultivation in the Melbourne Botanic Garden. It has a complete metamorphosis producing one generation every one to three years, depending on the species. Calendula species may be infected by the Rust (Puccinia flaveriae). There is many species of moths which are brown, blackish or white up to 30mm long. Witches Broom may be a fungal problem that causes a proliferation of small axillary shoots to appear at the end of the branches. The beetles are active from spring to mid summer preferring the warmer weather and the larva feed from late summer to autumn. In these cuttings a leaf blade and petiole or part off is used to raise a new plant. In this species, the flowers are produced in pairs, on short side shoots, to 20mm wide, white in colour, occurring from August to October. In the case of trees remove any infected branches and heavily infected trees should be cut down and removed. Botanical Name: Leptospermum laevigatum. Eggs are laid singly, in bark normally in the branch junctions. Host plants include eucalypts, acacias, pines and conifers. Leptospermum, genus of about 40 species of subtropical evergreen shrubs or small trees, in the myrtle family (Myrtaceae), native to Australasia. This leads to a loss of vigour in the plant and infected plants transmit the fungus. Entrance holes are covered by a layer of chewed wood fragments ("frass") and silk webbing. Leaf Blotch (Guignardia aesculi) forms small or large water soaked spots that are reddish with a bright yellow margin and form black fruiting bodies in the centre. that constructs a cylindrical cocoon of aligned twigs with a projecting twig at the base and feeds on small or young foliage. which is a systemic disease that is transmitted through seeds. . All Rights Reserved. In some cases roots appear from the severed veins. These cuttings are taken from wood that is firmer and semi ripe usually during mid summer. but by the time I got . This is a common problem that occurs when grown in a protected enclosure (hot house). ) Spray with Contact insecticides (including the trunks). Healthy corms become infected from contaminated soil that contains mycelium and sclerotia. Corms on the outer ring of the patch that are partially infected forming a felty mass of violet threads on the corm scales. Pot up into a well drained media. The caterpillar is dark red with yellowish bands and markings. There are. The emerging beetles tunnel the bark and carry the fungus to fresh feeding sites on the tree. These cuttings are an advantage where the plant uses the axillary bud at the base of the petiole for new shoot growth and maximises available propagation material, as each node will produce a new plant. The shoots and branches wilt then collapse. . There are two species of the deer in North America, the Whitetail (, ) with several regional variations such as the Pacific coastal Blacktail (. ) The plump larvae (commonly known as the 'curl grub') are creamy-white in colour with a dark area near the end of the abdomen. Viola species are also infected with the Stem Rot (Myrothecium roridum) which attacks the stems at ground level causing them to become dry and brittle. In spring the affected areas do not recover or recover slowly and on inspection the roots or rhizomes are rotted. This is the same fungus that causes Damping-off. Affected plants can be sprayed using Maldison or Carbaryl, this is only possible for small trees. The infected area develops minute black fruiting bodies. The tunnels are surrounded by webbing that is littered with pelleted droppings and is normally found on Toona species. Fungus can reproduce many ways but primarily it is asexually, simular to cuttings of a plant and often occurs with minute portions of the mycelium (spores) separating. Symptoms include stunting of new growth and yellowing of the lower leaves. species) is a fungal disease that infects. which curls the leaves and forms reddish blisters. brown adult that is found in the warmer regions of Australia and is up to 20mm long.

Fungi hyphae may be divided by cross walls and known as ", " while others with no cross walls are known as ". It first appears during autumn as pale bleaches areas up to 500mm (20in) wide and persists throughout winter. When harvesting the tubers choose a dryer period and be careful not to damage them. The capsule is to 8 mm diameter and mostly fall from the plant shortly after reaching maturity. Cultural practice such as minimal thatch build-up, regular aeration and a reduction of organic matter spread on the turf will reduce infection. is a pathogenic fungus that infecting existing wounds such as leaf scars or mechanical damage, forming a sunken area (canker) that spreads around the stem causing die back. This is a major economic pest for cultivated trees. Open 7 days by appointment. Sexually reproduction occurs when two nuclei unite and form sexual fruiting bodies (zygospore). The caterpillar forms a cigar-shaped case from pieces of needles. SOUTH COAST FLORA. The pest is active throughout the warmer months and the lava overwinters in its sealed tunnel. This is normally a secondary weak fungal infection that forms spots on the leaves that lengthens turning the leaves greyish. The interaction between these requirements and dormancy is complex and may lead to different environmental requirements that avoid the dormancy of a seed.

Ironbark Sawfly (Lophyrotoma interrupta) is a fleshy tapering grub up to 40mm long. Misting systems are of great benefit to cuttings as the regulated fogging with water inhibits the cuttings from drying out and as a result the cuttings may be grown in full sun. They are commonly called "spitfires" because, when disturbed, they bend back their bodies and exude a strong, eucalyptus-scented liquid from their mouths. Crocus, Iris, Tulipa, and Narcissus species are infected Copper Web ((Rhizoctonia crocorum). All of which cause yellowish spots that develop into dry brown blotches that kill the leaf. normally is a rot that occurs in cuttings turning the stem progressively black and shrunken.
