hi,
the wild winds we are currently having have snapped the top off one of
my 3 standard blushing pink icebergs
is there anyway to repair it? or is it beyond help????

thanks in advance

I'm no expert, but the exact same thing happened to a gum tree (the same
one I was asking about in an earlier post). I splinted the break with
two wooden school rulers and some teflon tape and now, thirty years
later, the tree is very large and in robust health! It might be
important to catch the damage quickly (that is, maybe it's a bit late
now?) but you could try.
