Engadye, Sorry to see your coconut tree struggling. For the past few years, I've been stringing Christmas lights around mine. I also used a vinyl table cloth with flannel back to wrap around it whenever the temperature dropped further down. Your idea of wrapping it around with a comforter might have worked for you in the past. Don't give up on it too quickly yet. Mine is also looking not too good now ... Hope the weather will warm up for us soon and our coconut trees will all survive.

My ponytail flowered 6 months ago (Aussie summer) and sprouted 3 flowers off 3 heads. The foliage seems to be growing up these flower stems so over time I'll wait and see what happens. They say it can take these plants 30 years to flower but this plant is less than 20 years old. Is that normal? Plant is on 100% sand (Perth coastal strip) Never gets a feed and is Bore watered 3x times a week in summer and loves it. It has fresh shoots popping out the base. This plant was once on a fence line and was basically starved for space. Now in the open it has bloomed. I have another to shift which is also fenceline material. Don't know whether to sell it or keep it. They look amazing. Almost prehistoric. I call my free one Cousin It.

g'day dee & shelly, yes i meant the honda has the best durability and reliability!? recommendations about it from users that i ahve read. for me i ahd the b&s ic 5hp and as always the b&s did the job very well i had no problems with it but then with my background i do tend to know how to run a new motor in and use it within it's capabilities. the greenfield (and i can't help saying it is "damn fine machinery") will do all material fibrous or otherwise, you must all remember though these machines are only common garden type shredders they are not chippers, chipping is an added capacity that the user must know the limitations of the main variable whether branches are hardwood or softwood. if you require a chipper then you need to buy a chipper (about twice the price of a good shredder) and for the main us common garden type folk can't afford them and i don't realy think we need them. and a word to the wise it pretty much doesn't matter how much you spend on an electric model they always have been and always will be in the toy catagory in the average garden, and box models purchased from discounters come under the 'pig in a poke' catagory you get what you pay for, you want good machinery with after sales service/advice you go to a specialist. i don't want to talk anyone out of buying a good machine but for the main as i see it most gardeners could get by with just hiring a shredder as they need it, good hire companies have the greenfield's for hire, this way you don't have the capitol expenditure nor the servicing or maintenance to be concerned about. len Here is a link that might be useful: lens garden page
