    My acers dying?

    I tend to agree with perki - we've had so much rain and the pot isn't on pot feet to help drainage, so it could be the roots have been sitting in a cold bath for months and they've rotted.

    Acer and Crab apple tree

    I just left my apple tree alone. I didn't think it a problem. It was just the head gardener who was concerned it would topple over.

    I've got fingers crossed that the Acer is going to survive. It is showing some signs of life but well behind the others.

    Yew trees in pots!

    Oh no! But they were doing okay before they were stood on, yes? Though I suppose they weren't very big anyway so maybe easier to grow at that stage.
