Further to my last post, what we have on a small Melaleuca is it 50%
covered in spider web with what appears to be lumps of sawdust
distributed through it. If I didn't know any better I would say a very
active borer in association with a colony of spiders.

Except if this much sawdust came out of the small bush there would be
hardly any braches left.

Any suggestions as to 1. What it is and 2 What to do.???

My beloved was thinking of Phytopthera - which it isn't!

Thanks for any suggestions
