mandya Forum newbie - be nice! Posts: 1 Location: Registered: September 2008	Grevilleas Posted 101 days ago I am trying to grow grevillea Mt Tambourine on a shady south facing, sloping bank. The soil is clay. They seem to grow OK for about six months then die. I started with eight. I have replaced half of them over the last 12 months. Can you help? The garden is located in CAnberra.	0 0 Alert moderator

Grevilleas are susceptible to Phytophthora which is found in the soil and impossible to get rid of AFAIK. I had the same problem until I got onto grafted grevilleas. I haven't lost a plant since. BTW if your lose a grevillea you shouldn't re plant another in the same place.	0 0 Alert moderator
