Sick lemon tree

Geoff from Island Bay

Our lemon tree has had a hard life. It has been moved several times. But for the last 15 years it has produced many many juicy flavoursome lemons. This year I noticed the fruit was taking a long time to ripen and are smaller than usual. Now I see most of the bark is stripped off from the ground up… View moreOur lemon tree has had a hard life. It has been moved several times. But for the last 15 years it has produced many many juicy flavoursome lemons. This year I noticed the fruit was taking a long time to ripen and are smaller than usual. Now I see most of the bark is stripped off from the ground up for about 6 inches. Any clues on what we can do to save it. It looks tragic! See pic attached
Thanks in advance

IRD is warning of a new scam that asking customers for credit card details. IRD has received a significant number of report about the email.

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.

The blue lights introduced to "minimise reflection" on the driver's front windscreen have been criticised for being "too aggressive" and being "unhealthy".

Metlink said the lights were not installed for aesthetics, but instead had an "operational purpose". What do you think of them?
