This loquat didn't make it, they do not like wet feet!
Suriname Cherry re sprouting after being underwater for several days.
Dunks tree aka Indian jube jube miraculously re sprouted after the planting bed was under water.
Breadfruit tree didn't survive.
Plumeria aka Frangipani survived even though some parts rotted. Will prune severely.
My orange bromeliads in this bed died. Luckily I have some in pots and will replant .
This poor dwarf coconut did not survive.
I was rather surprised that this Cannistel I thought had given up the ghost had started to sprout.
Another one bites the dust!
Mamey sapote didn't survive.
Lemon tree which was water logged seems to weathered the storm well!
The natural suck in the rock that takes the water away, only this time it was too much and will have to be cleared.
Nutmeg tree was covered with water for several days and did not survive.
I have removed many of the dead trees and have replanted new ones. The grass has not grown back where the water settled only time will tell. I may have to re grass those areas. Luckily we have been getting some showers so I expect to see more greenery appearing. Take care and happy gardening!
Helen. So sorry to hear of the loses - hopefully replacements will soon bring the garden back to its previous splendour. It is not easy to kill grass. I've tried and it takes months of being covered in something totally light excluding (like plastic sheeting) and even then it could still reshow, (You guys certainly seem to have put in a big shift to clear all the debris.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to see that some plants didn't make it through the floods in your beautiful garden. However I am sure that you will be thrilled by the plants that are coming back to life. We are certainly having a lot of unusual weather around the planet. This winter has been very wet and windy here in Scotland.
