    Hello D,

    You could buy some old fashioned fly paper strips. Cut it up into thinner strips then wrap them around the branch or twist tie the strips sticky face up near where the damage is occurring. If it is insect damage it will capture whatever it might be and then you can identify what it is. Then treat accordingly. If it is some type of animal it will at least grab some hairs for you to work out what it might be.

    Oh a better photograph in close up would be helpful too. It was hard to work out much from the earlier snaps.

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    The makings of our new Christmas tree, a lilly pilly (Syzygium australe) ?Bush Christmas?.

    Much nicer than the plastic crap I reckon, plus cleans the air a little.

The damage starts when the first flowers and leaves appear. I'm assuming at night. Any ideas gratefully appreciated.

    Hello D,

    I drew a red circle around something. It could either be a dying leaf laying flat to the stem; otherwise it looks like something has chewed the bark.

    Is there vehicular traffic going close to this tree and not the others?

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    Hello Incisor,

    Did the arborist drop the tree on the garden? Or did the tree drop on the garden due to a storm and the arborist then cut the tree up for you?

    Kind Regards

    one branch dropped and hit it while the aborist was working on the tree...

    was a gust of wind out of nowhere and it spun the branch around

    was a bloody tall tree, higher than the silky oak so well over 15m and he did a great job of keeping it away from the shed

    rather a few broken tomato stakes and a bit of busted wire than a dented shed...
