Providing even a fairly basic answer would require an essay it is beyond the scope of this site and beyond the scope of myself, in terms of time and effort, to provide.

There is little difference between plants and animals - both are cellular, dependent on water and are carbon-based lifeforms using similar building blocks of life and mostly plants reproduce using male and female interaction even though many are self fertilising and some are self-propagating. Many plants can reproduce in more than one way....

Plants use photosynthesis to convert carbon into sugars where animals have a symbiotic relationship with gut bacteria that breaks down and converts food that has passed through the preparation stages of chewing and being soaked in digestive substances. The gut bacteria release the nutrients we need and these pass through the gut walls.

Plants don't move in the short term but are capable of moving considerable distances through the action of wind, water and animals or birds in a sort of symbiotic way; in a similar way to how they evolve to cope with long term environmental difficulty and changes.
Some plants move by self-reproduction; growing until a part leans over and touches the soil where it will put down roots, eg. brambles...

SOURCE: 2 conifirs have been planted

Hi,
When transplanting you will often have at least some temporary damage....
In your case being that there is new growth to the trees the damage is only marginal and temporary...
Continue in the path you are on and give them some food (fertilizer) for the cooler months ahead...
Come spring they will be in good shape and take off again...

Is there any company providing hedging services in Southern Highlands?

Hedging Services Southern Highlands, Not sure what the right hedge will be that will suit your needs?
When thinking about putting in a hedge there are a great many things to think about, the main being:
  • The purpose the hedge will perform. Will the hedge be used as a privacy screen to block out neighbours and reduce noise? Or is it purely for ornamental purposes as a feature in the garden?
  • The root systems and common diseases prevalent with each plant. Thought has to be given to the root systems of the plant and how invasive they will be to underground pipes or driveways. Some plants are more susceptible to diseases than others or are more suited to a particular environment - If you are in cool areas where there is frost, or in drought prone areas this may affect they type of plant that you can grow.
  • Growth of hedge and the maintenance required to keep it looking good. Plants grow at different rates, the quicker it grows the more time you will have to spend maintaining it.
  • The size of your plants and how easy they will be to establish. Smaller plants are cheaper to purchase but will take longer to form a hedge, larger plants will take a shorter amount of time but are harder to establish and their success rate is lower. You will also have to consider how patient you are prepared to be for it to reach your desired size.
Great consideration should be put into the purpose, environment and maintenance requirements of any plant so that you choose the right hedge that will meet all your needs.

Is there any company providing garden fertilizing service in Canberra?

Garden Fertilizing Canberra - Just like us plants need food to stay healthy. Food for plants comes in the form of fertilizers.
Fertilizers are a range of chemical or mineral products that release nutrients necessary for plant growth. There are two main types of fertilizers - chemical (inorganic) or mineral (organic) fertilizers.
Chemical fertilizers are added to the soil as liquids or solids and are specifically designed and formulated for a specific purpose such as to increase plant fertility and promote growth. Mineral or organic fertilizers are natural and are derived from plants and animals such as manure and seaweed and can be used as general soil improvers.
Fertilizers are necessary as they add nutrients to the soil whereby combatting any deficiencies that there may be in the natural soil such as inadequate levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous which can affect the plants health and growth.
Every plant requires different nutrients at different stages throughout its growth cycle. There are a diverse range of fertilizers all with differing quantities of minerals that provide either instant or slow release times dependant upon what each plant requires. For best results when using fertilizers always read the label and apply only as directed.

Have Gardenia in garden, leaves are lovely and shiny, buds form but never come into flower. In Geraldton Western Australia.

While there might be climatic, geographical or soil chemistry reasons why your gardenia doesn't flower, and for those things you should refer to some good gardening books, I do listen to Gardeners Question Time from the BBC (available online from the BBC iplayer) and the advice remains constant for flowering shrubs, trees and plants that refuse to flower. The experts maintain failure to flower is caused by looking after a plant too well so the plant converts all that love into growth and the generation of foliage. Plants flower when they fear they are going to die and turn energy into reproduction; flowers. The secret to flowers is to know when and how to treat your plant badly...

Why is my 15 yr. old indoor cat is loosing weight . She eats great and seems to have enough energy. She did have trouble with her thyroid and lost some back hair but I fed her special food for Felines...

It frightens me to think that some people try to take care of POTTED PLANTS...

I SEE the plants suffering from improper light... poor nutrition...
poor drainage... to much or to little water... (etc.).

Fact is PLANTS ARE LIVING THINGS... Sadly there really is no place for a person to take a sickly plant... where it can be analyzed and found to be ROOT BOUND...

BUT FOR CATS...

They have these WONDERFUL veterinary hospitals and
ENTIRE SOCIETIES... for the PREVENTION of cruelty
to animals... where FREE services can help your cat.

(you do know there is no such thing as ANONIMITY on the INTERNET (RIGHT...?)).

((("Worms on the THYROID" does not inspire any confidence... you will do the RIGHT THING))).

Look under SPCA and check for free help...

We donate to these establishments so that there is NO EXCUSE for any unnecessary animal SUFFERING...

Take your cat IMMEDIATELY to the SPCA...
for a simple check up by a knowledgeable professional...

Pretty PLEASE...!!
