    Yesterday pm I got into the greenhouse, pricked on a number of tomato seedlings. Hope they will cope with the double shock, of coming out of the propagator as well as the roots disturbance. No choice really as there's not enough space to leave them in the propagator any longer.

    From the new picture I agree that the stems and bud do look like an ash. Looking at the old picture again where I thought it had lobed leaves, I believe that might be your neighbours tree. I took the green to be one tree and not two and I could only see leaf detail on one half.

    Cordyline Australis: Is this dead?

    That looks very similar to the one my brother has. We had colder than -5c here this year and it suggests burgandy spires can only take a lite frost, so perhaps similar cultivars are the same.
