I don't know how 176 00:09:09,055 --> 00:09:14,895 Speaker 6: else you describe it. That it's the branches are totally 177 00:09:14,935 --> 00:09:17,935 Speaker 6: covered in us and I'm not getting any fruit. 178 00:09:18,615 --> 00:09:21,575 Speaker 3: Okay, that's a very simple that's a very simple thing. 179 00:09:21,575 --> 00:09:26,615 Speaker 3: That moss that you call. Is that a bit greenish gray? Yes, yeah, okay, 180 00:09:26,695 --> 00:09:33,055 Speaker 3: it's called lichen. And lichen itself is a really cool creature, 181 00:09:33,095 --> 00:09:36,295 Speaker 3: if you like, because it's actually two or three things 182 00:09:36,655 --> 00:09:40,375 Speaker 3: working together. The flappy bits is fungus, the green stuff 183 00:09:40,495 --> 00:09:44,055 Speaker 3: is algae, and there's usually a yeast involved as well, 184 00:09:44,535 --> 00:09:47,975 Speaker 3: and they sit on your branches because your branches are 185 00:09:48,095 --> 00:09:52,095 Speaker 3: pretty light in terms of they are bright in the 186 00:09:52,095 --> 00:09:56,415 Speaker 3: bright sunlight, and that means that your leaves are not 187 00:09:56,735 --> 00:09:59,855 Speaker 3: very large and very healthy on the tree. Does that 188 00:09:59,895 --> 00:10:04,695 Speaker 3: make sense, It's right, yes, yeah, Okay, so you're basically 189 00:10:04,735 --> 00:10:07,695 Speaker 3: going to do both things. If you going fertilize your 190 00:10:07,775 --> 00:10:14,975 Speaker 3: tree with a material that basically gives those trees the 191 00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:19,015 Speaker 3: ability to make more leaves, larger leaves, and healthier leaves, 192 00:10:19,415 --> 00:10:21,855 Speaker 3: you'll find that the lichens will struggle a little bit 193 00:10:21,975 --> 00:10:26,295 Speaker 3: in slightly more darker conditions. So that's number one, and 194 00:10:26,335 --> 00:10:29,815 Speaker 3: that also means that you will get probably better fruit 195 00:10:30,175 --> 00:10:33,375 Speaker 3: in the in the future if you fertilize it regularly. 196 00:10:34,295 --> 00:10:37,175 Speaker 3: The other thing is that this lichens stuff, which is 197 00:10:37,215 --> 00:10:40,015 Speaker 3: but fungus with the algae on the top, is not 198 00:10:40,295 --> 00:10:44,095 Speaker 3: going into your plant. It lives basically on the outside 199 00:10:44,135 --> 00:10:48,695 Speaker 3: of your plant and doesn't and doesn't cause any trouble 200 00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:52,975 Speaker 3: to the plant at all. It's just an indicating indicator 201 00:10:53,015 --> 00:10:55,175 Speaker 3: that you need to fertilize your trees a bit better. 202 00:10:57,135 --> 00:10:58,855 Speaker 2: Hope that helps, Ellen. Thank you very much for you 203 00:10:58,935 --> 00:11:01,335 Speaker 2: call Hollo Chris. 204 00:11:02,215 --> 00:11:06,815 Speaker 5: All right, I just want to ask you about transplanting trees. 205 00:11:07,615 --> 00:11:11,735 Speaker 5: So I've transplanted about eight trees. They were about six 206 00:11:11,775 --> 00:11:15,535 Speaker 5: to eight feet two and most of them most of 207 00:11:15,575 --> 00:11:19,855 Speaker 5: them were petty sperm yeah. Uh and and two of them, 208 00:11:19,895 --> 00:11:23,255 Speaker 5: I think couple of them are Akiaki native triests. 209 00:11:23,735 --> 00:11:23,975 Speaker 3: Yep. 210 00:11:26,815 --> 00:11:29,455 Speaker 5: Yeah, they've now they've come to like they were all 211 00:11:29,575 --> 00:11:33,095 Speaker 5: nice and you know for blaze and stuff, but they've 212 00:11:33,135 --> 00:11:37,335 Speaker 5: now shipped their leaves so that's it's literally just a stick. 213 00:11:38,255 --> 00:11:38,375 Speaker 4: Uh. 214 00:11:39,255 --> 00:11:43,335 Speaker 5: I've put compost when I transplanted them. On top of that, 215 00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:45,655 Speaker 5: I've given them seaweed. 216 00:11:45,935 --> 00:11:46,815 Speaker 3: Yeah. 217 00:11:47,575 --> 00:11:51,295 Speaker 5: And I've just been giving them water uh and and 218 00:11:51,415 --> 00:11:55,855 Speaker 5: compost and top and yeah. But they're still not sort 219 00:11:55,895 --> 00:11:58,255 Speaker 5: of coming back to life. So just wondering if there's 220 00:11:58,295 --> 00:12:00,095 Speaker 5: any way to bring them back to life. 221 00:12:00,815 --> 00:12:03,775 Speaker 3: Yes, for a short fee, I will do the last 222 00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:07,375 Speaker 3: rights for you, if that's what you mean. It doesn't 223 00:12:07,375 --> 00:12:11,615 Speaker 3: sound very good, doesn't it, You know what I mean? Okay, 224 00:12:11,615 --> 00:12:16,135 Speaker 3: tell me, well hang on, hang on on, before we 225 00:12:16,175 --> 00:12:19,535 Speaker 3: start throwing everything we have at them. My question is 226 00:12:19,775 --> 00:12:24,975 Speaker 3: you water them very regularly? Yeah? 227 00:12:25,095 --> 00:12:26,535 Speaker 5: Yeah, like every second day. 228 00:12:27,135 --> 00:12:30,415 Speaker 3: Okay. Do you think the soil was quite moist after 229 00:12:30,455 --> 00:12:36,455 Speaker 3: those particular waterings? Yeah, because I have the feeling you've 230 00:12:36,535 --> 00:12:41,095 Speaker 3: overdone it a bit in that department. Oh okay, yeah, 231 00:12:41,495 --> 00:12:43,855 Speaker 3: and that and that and that means that there is 232 00:12:43,895 --> 00:12:46,055 Speaker 3: a fungus in the soil, and it could be one 233 00:12:46,055 --> 00:12:48,895 Speaker 3: of the root fungi things like fight after and all 234 00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:51,535 Speaker 3: these other bits and pieces, and I can't you can't 235 00:12:51,575 --> 00:12:54,895 Speaker 3: identify that just by looking at them. But there are 236 00:12:55,295 --> 00:13:00,495 Speaker 3: diseases that are caused literally by over watering. And because 237 00:13:00,535 --> 00:13:02,855 Speaker 3: you I know what you're saying, because you try to 238 00:13:02,895 --> 00:13:05,135 Speaker 3: replant them and you think what the first thing they 239 00:13:05,175 --> 00:13:08,255 Speaker 3: need is water, water, water, But that can sometimes become 240 00:13:08,295 --> 00:13:11,095 Speaker 3: a bit too much. And I have the feeling that 241 00:13:11,255 --> 00:13:13,895 Speaker 3: the best thing is to do to stop the watering 242 00:13:14,775 --> 00:13:16,975 Speaker 3: for a while. I'm not saying let them dry out, 243 00:13:17,415 --> 00:13:20,775 Speaker 3: because that's not not that's fatal too, but to to 244 00:13:21,015 --> 00:13:24,575 Speaker 3: really go back and see what comes back, you might 245 00:13:24,615 --> 00:13:27,495 Speaker 3: not have lost them all. But it's a time a 246 00:13:27,655 --> 00:13:32,575 Speaker 3: time thing from now on. Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry to 247 00:13:32,615 --> 00:13:35,015 Speaker 3: hear that because it's it's but it's a good lesson 248 00:13:35,055 --> 00:13:37,775 Speaker 3: for people, especially in Canterbury. But at the moment, it's 249 00:13:37,815 --> 00:13:42,255 Speaker 3: so dry everywhere. Everybody is using the watering everywhere. But 250 00:13:42,375 --> 00:13:45,295 Speaker 3: you know what I'm going to do. I'm going to Chris, 251 00:13:45,295 --> 00:13:50,695 Speaker 3: I'm going to send you or stay online.

Because they just 328 00:18:19,255 --> 00:18:21,655 Speaker 9: scubble them up, justle. 329 00:18:21,055 --> 00:18:24,375 Speaker 3: Them up well after the other.

What the point of that is to 336 00:18:46,295 --> 00:18:48,455 Speaker 2: be able to track the migration of the birds or 337 00:18:48,495 --> 00:18:50,495 Speaker 2: where they've come from or yeah. 338 00:18:50,335 --> 00:18:52,815 Speaker 3: But also how old do they get? Are the males 339 00:18:52,975 --> 00:18:55,215 Speaker 3: their females?
