Sue, it looks lovely. Shame the leaves make such a mess. I have two large trees at the front and it never looks tidy there. Not to mention that the grass won't grow because one of the trees is a prickly paper bark. The fine, sharp leaves are like needles and cut grass off at the roots. I hate having trees taken down, but wish they'd take that one down.

This large staghorn was growing on the prickly paperbark. The weight has finally torn it from the trunk and the plant is too big and heavy for me to fix up. I am thinking I should cut it up into small plants so it has a chance of surviving. Any words of advice?
