Anyone have any ideas to get my plant healthier.
I have tried a lot of things. baggage

It may be that the centre isn't getting enough air circulation, but be careful that you don't overexpose the inside of the branches so much that they get sunburnt in the hot weather (I heard that on the gardening show on radio last week). Are giving it good soakings regularly instead of small smounts each time ? Are watering too close to the trunk and not at the drip line where its main roots are. If the tree leaves are yellow, the tree may need Sulphate of Iron which is readily available in gardening sections of stores such as KMart, Bunnings, similar stores or garden centres.
