Pests, Diseases and Cures

Roseclear is something that might work, it contains an insecticide and a fungicide, but it will only protect the new foliage, the spotty ones are bound to fall. Spring is the time most evergreens shed their leaves, so I wouldn't worry too much.Maybe a spray or two mid summer and again next...

I'd leave the old stem alone, it will sprout new growth when it ready, it could take a few months at this time of the year. In the meantime be careful not to over water, it will require very little and is probably best kept a bit dry.As to the cutting, I betting its not rooted yet, new...

fThank you @Lolimac my friend I'm sure that our good friend @Spruce really meant B old probably just a typing error

"Shall I make them a nice pot of tea to go with that Dear?"

I think they look fineBecause they were rootballed the roots won't have ventured far, yet. The soil in the rootball is probably very different to yours (and they may have been severely root-pruned when the rootballiing was done). Therefore very important to get water into the original...

Thanks to all for the replies. I'd post a picture but I cant see an obvious solution

What a beautifully-written post!

Got it in one .... I'm beautiful enough without it ...:rolleyes::D

Ah, the people before did have a bird feeder here. It could be wheat. Thank you for your answers

I have an "Orange berry" hypericum and the leaves are looking very yellow. A quick search online reveals it could be down to over/under watering or maybe some kind of aphids or thrip damage. Can't see any obvious culprits.My first thought was it was possibly in need of feeding, so I gave it a...

Hi,sorry to hyjack but i`m having a similar problem with this climbing rose.The leaves are going yellow and also very brittle.Not all but dotted about including new leaves.I give it loads of water and recently some rose food.It doesn`t seem to have affected its growth as it`s already hit the...

they've not been in that long (18 months) and went into pretty ****py ground (improved) i've popped some growmore round to little effect, i will dose them up with iron and a splash of trace elements. cheers lads

Thanks for setting my mind at rest Jazid!

You could perhaps put some plastic around the plant / container so that the rain runs off,rather than into, the container? That would prevent it getting any more wet in the winter. Or move them into garage / under carport / overhang (they'd need light periodically if in garage though, so that's...

Yes, you are right Dai. I have fed my beans a good feed of Tomorite and hey presto they are back to a healthy green again and have their first blooms on them.

I don't know what but something has ravaged the leaves on my bay tree. I planted it out last year. Hope it picks up this year.

Growmore is a good general fertiliser around the garden and veg patch but you need something more specific as you have found out for your azalea ...

I think it's time to remove the dead Autumn leaves out of the crown yes from a distance it's not noticeable, but if it doesn't kill it I'll get something to treat potential fungus/bacteria come spring.

Yep, after further research it looks like it definitely is autumn colours. Thanks very much guys
