Repost 10 June 2007: Wollemi Droop

Here's one from only a day later than my last repost, showing a loss of confidence (albeit briefly) in my abilities as a gardener. There's something about spending nearly £100 on a single plant that focusses the mind on its survival over and above all the other plantbabies...

I'm doing a bit of a Darren Naish here and posting about something I'm going to post about, just to whet your appetite.

But anyway, I want to get some photos of the Wollemi Pine showing it drooping and not drooping. Mainly because I think it's cool. I've got one of him drooping today, and I watered him at about 8pm, but by the time he was starting to spring up again it was a bit too dark.

I really could do with an experienced WP grower on hand - I've googled as much as I can, and it seems to be fine for the branches to droop, but I'd like the reassurance. Don't want to kill my tree.

Damnit, and I was so happy and confident in my gardening skills yesterday - why the sudden crisis of faith?
