I have two tapak kuda in my yard. One has had two bird grafts, and I now see where the other one also has a fairly new bird graft. Three times in 2 years may not make this such a phenomenon.Teakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198120048017107434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076249844729354039.post-23968424981854945112010-12-11T17:54:46.297+08:002010-12-11T17:54:46.297+08:00Are you sure it's jambu bol?

I cut off the first graft last year and saved the branch for later dissection. Will do the same with the current one, which is not as advanced in development.Teakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198120048017107434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076249844729354039.post-1571553431987203362009-08-12T10:05:23.170+08:002009-08-12T10:05:23.170+08:00It is very common for birds to rub their beaks to ...It is very common for birds to rub their beaks to get rid of seeds sticking to their beaks. The seeds of some species will germinate on the tree branch and will actually drill roots into the tree eventually killing the tree. You have an infestation. Please cut the branch well below the growth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076249844729354039.post-12086251604217925382009-08-07T22:27:17.815+08:002009-08-07T22:27:17.815+08:00Thanks for your comments.
