5m Lillypilly dropping branches

21 years ago

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this website and need some advice on a large lillypilly we have in our back yard (which according to my research is a native so I hope I'm posting in the right area)

As the post title suggests, we have two 5 metre lillypillies in our backyard and one of them in the last 3 weeks has dropped about 1/4 of it's branches mysteriously. We have not had high winds or bad weather to speak of, the tree is fruiting heavily, but so is the other one and that hasn't lost any branches!

Both nights that the branches have come down it has rained, but not heavily, I wouldn't have thought heavily enough for a tree branch to snap under the weight of it anyway! Can anyone help me to explain why our beautiful lillypilly is acting so oddly? Is it a natural characteristic of these plants?

Thanks for your help

Ange
