Sounds like the pine did go to canker. I hear now there is a fungicide used
to cure it. As for the gum trees I strongly suspect that it was an abundence
of urea taken up by the roots. This is probably as a result of 50 funds
managers peeing on the trees after dobbing them in over trailing
commissions. It also probably accounts for the citrus trees doing well. Then
again I could be wrong which wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

General rule is to replant whatever carks and eventually something will
work.

The eucalypts and the conifer seem to be the only affected plants. the
rest of the garden is doing very well. Abundant citrus, fruits forming
on my guavas for the first time this year, if I had bothered to spray
for fruit fly I'd have had all the stonefruit and pears I could eat,
the natives out the front (with the exception of the two dead
eucalypts) are thriving on neglect, like they're supposed to.
