I came out into my garden yesterday morning to find a large branch had fallen from an Eleocarpus grandis (Blue Quandong – a large growing rainforest tree) during the night. It fell right into the middle of a clump of China Gold Bamboo and broke a young Laegerstroemia indica (Crepe Myrtle) that was starting to be trained into shape for a feature in the Japanese garden.The branch was 150 mm in diameter and about 6 metres long.
