Yup they must have. First time I went there was 2010 so no knowledge of before thentropical Tom wrote:Thanks Kristen, does that mean they survived december 2010?
I used to think it was called Acacia Avenue just for the joke about suburbia, but maybe they did have Acacias in that "room" before, and had ripped them out. Loads of other "rooms" in that garden, including Exotic and AridThey look impressive but a little "regimental" but that's what they wanted to achieve I guess!
A fungus (Seiridium cardinale), not a virus. Originally from California (several of the Californian native cypreses are resistant to it), an invasive disease in Europe.Jo A P wrote: A lot of trees have had to be cut down due to a virus and even now some of ours are literally 'crumbling' from the top down.
Nope! Mediterranean Cypress is monoecious (both sexes on the same plant). The spreading trees are the natural wild type, the upright ones are cultivars selected for garden use.Jo A P wrote:Just a thought. The male trees are upright and the female are spreading and a bit on the scruffy side. I daresay Conifers knows a lot more about telling one from the other.
‘Le Crete 1’ and ‘Le Crete 2’ described here are two new canker-resistant C. sempervirens varieties patented in 2010, selected through a 13-year assessment of their response to artificial inoculations and growth traits. Both are characterized by a rapid growth and by a columnar and fastigiated habit that confers them a notable ornamental effect.

I had 3 in a group in my previous garden 10 years ago but they gradually got brown patches which I trimmed away but they got worse and worse and eventually there was more brown than green. I was told it was a virus. Then we moved house.
I would love to get some more now, especially after seeing yours!

As far as I know, there's no effective treatments for Seiridium canker, not even for trained professional use. There's fungi, and there's fungi, and not all of them are treatable with the currently available fungicides.RozDevon wrote:So, if its a fungus they suffer from, I suppose spraying them with anti fungal treatments would help?
