Hi Daniel and other WAMUGgers, Frangipani leaves actually. Amazing here in Gero - one totally shed leaves, one looking like leaves will never go, one half shed and still holding onto 'old' leaves, and one shedding old leaves and shooting new growth. Two other smaller ones not sure which role model to follow.
Thank you and Ronni for my introduction to the Console. I learned a lot yesterday. I hope there are other WAMUGgers able to support you; otherwise it must be pretty lonely when queries like mine come along.
