Danny,

I have been having great difficulty sending you a message.

I tried to reply directly, but could not. I think you have done all you can
and now just have to hope it recovers. as you are there and able to water as
needed I think it has the best chance of

recovering. I never trust anyone to water my trees I take them with me when
I am away.

I live in Basingstoke so I am not far away from you.

Subject: [IBC] A sick Carmona Macrophylla



Hi Everyone



I went away on holiday for a fortnight, leaving my neighbour to water my

bonsai, which were all outdoors. All of them are still fine, apart from my

Carmona Macrophylla. About half of the leaves have gone a very dark brown

and the other half a shrivelled green. Looks like lack of watering to me,

but everything else is OK. I haven't spoken to my neighbour yet.



I have stripped off the dark brown leaves but have left the green ones for

the moment. The soil is moist and I am being careful not to over water it.



Any ideas on what might have happened, how to tell if the tree is still

alive, and what to do with it now?



I am in London, England, where it is starting to get a bit cold overnight so

the bonsai are now indoors overnight and if it's a nice day then I let them

out to breathe a little.



Thanks,



Danny
