Re: cypress and such

I love to read the Meditplant postings, but frequently wonder where on earth they are posted from. Would you all kindly let us know? thanks a lot.

Speaking of cypress, which no one was but the request for suggestions for plants for situations of dry shade by Gill Pound reminded me of this, our local botanic garden is loosing its redwoods, Sequoia redwoods. Ten years of drought has put them under stress and they are now infected with a fungal disease called 'cypress canker'. The local myth is that these trees were bought to Ballarat by Californian miners in the 1850 gold rush, but you know how reliable local myths are, still it is sad to loose them. My question to the group is what other plants might be infected by 'cypress canker'. I have a secret wicked hope that it might attack the many cypress hedges that infest the local landscape and create so much work in the alergy clinic I attend - so many children seem to be allergic to them or their pollen. Does anyone know what 'cypress canker' might be?
