Hi r2oo,It is a very young tree and hasn't put out a proper branch network yet. As a rule, they thrive on pruning putting on 10 feet of more in one season if coppiced. That one looks like it has been left to its own devices, and the growing does happen mainly at the top end. You can just about...

Maybe you don't have many pollinators around in January :D I haven't the fainest idea what pollinates mine - perhaps its a self polinator??

Waco - any news on your flowering Aspidistra?

Oh yes, thats the one.....Acer platanoides "Drummondii".....you are so clever, and I'm so excited now that I know what it is that I have to ask for when I go shopping.I love the way the light shines and illuminates the diffent colours on the leaves.Interesting, the bit about watching for...

Johnny, the hermaphrodisic ( self pollinating )Skimmia is called Reevesiana. And PeterS you are right about the Lobelia caddinalis. David.

Must have been the gentle hints, Elaine! Paths are a Very Good Thing - less muddy, less slippery - blimey, enthusing over a path, how sad can you get? :rolleyes: :D

The one I sent is what you have, the Wonga, Wonga Vine ... goodness, what a name!I also have the P ricasoliana which goes absolutely beserk here and as far as I know is the hardier of the two ???? Maybe yours should not be in the greenhouse?For WW vine blooms in the summer here and the Pink...

It was a very, very long time ago, r2oo, probably 26-27 years, and to be honest I can't remember! All I remember is we stayed on a remote daffodil farm in the hills and they had a pet lamb called Lamb Chop! :D

Then there is the marsh valerian and the peruvian valerian just to confuse things even more

Gets a bit big, though, Dai..... but certainly a lovely tree (assuming you don't get a female with that stinking fruit :rolleyes: )

What colour were the grubs? David.

Its me Celia,I forgot to put the pic in,So I had to edit it.Not so wise old owl. Thank you Celia You are an angel.

Thank You Everyone for your help.I shall leave the clump in its place and look forward to the flowers and the added joy of a visit from goldfiches.More value for money than a mere cowslip!!Misty

lawks! Have to agree that it's not a great plant but my clients like it and I presonally think it entirely better than all the common Forsythia cultivars.I have always found it a doddle to grub up Geoffhandley so don't be too put off. Best attack the thing with a hedgetrimmer to make it short...

red petioles and shoots should help as well, though not for me. I've been at the footy.

Kandy, I like those white ones! Here's someinteresting info I found on the BBC Plantfinder: Schizostylis coccinea 'Jennifer' Common Name: Schizostylis Genus: Schizostylis Species: Coccinea Cultivar: 'Jennifer' Skill Level: Experienced Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade Hardiness: Half...

yes nick I do remember about a himalyan honeysuckle seed awhile ago. bird seed too? :D

I went to that house where I asked you to tell me what that creeping flower was that I saw, then I remembered that I didn't give you a proper description of it, then when I saw your answers I thought silly me of course it's a jasmine. I purchased one myself back in the summer, it was in a...

Thank you for your help, I shall google to make sure.
