This site is a place for reflection and learning from one another and sharing. It is hoped that the information is accurate and honest, but sometimes mistakes happen.

This website helps to guide you and teach you about the diagnostic process but it is not a replacement to a professional diagnosis. Nothing beats an onsite assessment from a knowledgeable landscaper or trained arborist and I recommend you consult these professionals before making any significant decisions.

Recommendations for products or techniques may not be suitable for where you live for whatever reason (legal, weather, etc). Please realize the you have may different options or restrictions to the things I discuss. Your local garden centres or government offices may be able to help.

This should be obvious by now but please remember your ‘Ps n Qs’ when you are online. You can be enthusiastic without dominating. You can share an opinion without attacking anyone else. Plus, everyone makes mistakes. Remember that.

I find some fungus pretty and you find it gross. I’m okay with that. Enjoying nature and the beauty of the microbial world isn’t the same thing as loving illness. I do hope that the more we learn, the more we appreciate the beauty and interconnectedness of life. But if you still find slimy rot gross….sometimes I will agree with you.

This site is for your information and connection with others. You take full responsibility of all choices you make as to your plant care decisions and activities.
