My Beloved Gardenia

My most favorite tree in my Tropical Paradise is my Gardenia Tree.

and this poor baby got infected with an absolute horrible fungus

The branches and leaves have a dark black gook caked on them

it seemed like it was screaming for me to just Euthanize it

but instead Madison and I spent the day scrubbing it with a tooth brush, wash cloth and warm soapy water

and now hoping this beloved tree of mine has just a little fight left in it...

Stay tuned.
