    I found a rare tree in the bush in Corn Island, and stupidly planted it within range of a coconut tree.  Every time it throws up a new shoot,, down rain the bombs.

    Transplant it. yes

    Also: what sort of tree is it? If it's really worth having and you can't move it, you can always nuke the coconut. Afro

    I was there in the dry season, so couldn't transplant it. I am there no more. Will probably end up nuking the coconut, to the total disgust of all the crackheads who steal its nuts.

    I don't have a local flora, so I have no idea what kind of tree it is.. Large, shiny, rounded leaves. Lovely.

    Oh yeah I sorted the hibiscus propagation conundrum. Just thought I should mention that since I know how desprately worried you all were. The bulletproof method goes like this:

    1/ Wait until late autumn.*

    2/ Decide cut flowers are required for guests, and a hibiscus would look rather good with the day's cut flowers.

    3/ Forget about cut flowers for a week until they start looking really ratty.

    4/ Go to throw really ratty old flowers out.

    5/ Notice that hibiscus has little white lumpy bits on it, which are root nodes FFS.

    6, 7, 8 & 9/ Keep hibiscus cutting. Change water. Throw ratty bits out. Go get more cuttings.

    Stunning place, Os. Is that where you live?

    Not so keen on the 1960s hybrid tea roses. Not so keen on roses full stop, actually.

    I effin love roses, just don't like the high maintenance ones. You just have to pick the right varieties for lazy buggers.

    That one was there anyway. I didn't plant it.

    I'm not even going to take a photo of my garden  Grin  nothing would shame me more.

    I have this plant/weed in my garden.  When I moved in 6/7 years ago, there was only 1 of these things, now this plant/weed has taken over my garden entirely.  It and the blueberry bush have killed any other plant, and all the grass in the garden. 

    I really must identify what the fuck this plant is, so I know how to get rid of it. 

    I hate my garden.

    Take pic of plant. Post pic. We can then pontificate about it. yes

    Short answer: glyphosate. It kills most plants and doesn't kill people.

    I will take a picture then lol for pontification purposes. 

    Just off to take the kids to their swimming lessons, but will do it when I get back.  It's a stubborn fuck nut of a plant.

    If you don't fancy glyphosate, a pickaxe usually does the job. Sexier too, all that sweat and brawn.

    Depends how many plants you want to kill, what sort of plant, how much brawn is available, and how sweaty you want to get. grin12

    Promiscuous they are. But better-looking than sycamore, which also puts it about a bit.

    Ash is good timber. Quite a demand for it, if they're of millable size.

    Why aren't there any houses near by ?

    Do you live waay out in the wilderness away from human civilization ?   

    In my opinion a life without curiosity is not a life worth living
