BRUCE WILLIAMS Extension Area Turf Specialist Dear Plant Doctor: While on a trip to Key West (Fla.), I saw some Australian pine trees. The needles arc soft, like a succulent plant. These trees arc lovely and 1 want to grow one. I brought back some of the little pine cones. I noticed the soil in which the trees grew is sandy and full of limestone. The trees also grew on banks, close to salt water, although some grew in the middle of islands, as well. Do you think I might be able to grow one of these trees? Thanks for your help. Answer: Whew! Thai's a lough one. I had to do some research on Australian Pine. This is what I found: Australian pine is the genus Cas narina. The genus contains about 30 species of large evergreen trees which often go by common names such as Horsetail tree. South sea Ironwood and Mile tree. I am not sure which species you picked up. Tlir m ? K.IT r\^s/^T/Nn inb runm iuk but all spccics arc native to northern Australia and the Pacific tropics. They have been widely planted in southern Flor ida and Califor nia as ornamen tal shade trees. In tropical areas the tree is noted for its ability to grow near the sea coast According to WILLIAMS the most recent edition of Plant Propagation by Hartmann, Kcstcr and Davics, the Australian pine is easily propagated by seed. Seed re quire no prctrcatment and can be di rcctly sown into the soil in early spring. This is a tropical plant and thus I would not recommend it for outside planting this far north. Dear Plant Doctor: 1 have some dwarf yaupon holly that is losing its leaves and looks like it is dying. It is planted on the west side of the house right next to several aucuba plants. The aucuba plants are doing very well and arc not alflictcd by this problem. What can I do to save iny dwarf yaupons? Answer: 1 would have k. sec the yaupon plants to be absolutely sure, but 1 suspccl your problem is shade. Yaupon holly ( Ilex vomitoria) docs best in full or partial sun. Aucuba (AucuIhi sp.). on the other hand, docs best in a shady protected envi ronment. If you do not have at least four hours of dircct sunlight on your yaupons, then shade is the likely culprit. When plants receive inadequate light, they arc weakened and subject to diseases or insects that would otherwise not be a problem. Try pruning and limbing-up surrounding trees or moving the yaupons to a sunnier site. Good luck. (Send your gardening questions to The Plant Doctor. P.O. Box 109, Bolivia, N.C. 2X422.)
