Trees

Yup - Prunus padus. Bird cherry.

I have this on my peach tree in the greenhouse. Ants seem to look after these creatures. I also scrape them off. I also use a strong mix of a well know washing up liquid to wash the affected areas. In my case I use ant powder at the base of the tree. They always seem to come back in my case. But...

None of our other apples have these paired branches coming off the trunk. Maybe I've got a dud tree? Will phone Orange Pippin (who I bought it from) and see what they say.

If no new growth I'd guess it was dead.

Perfect timing Kevin.

Your welcome

It sounds a bit like verticillium wilt. If you chop a bit off and see if there is a brown stain under the bark it might confirm this

Hi,We're having to remove an established Cornelian Chetty tree in order to build a garden room above where it is. So far, we've removed most branches and are left with a 4-foot truck (about 1 foot diameter). The next thing is to remove that and most of the roots.From reading about this type...

If the canopy is dragging, then we used to raise it after flowering. This would encourage new growth at the top.

Do you know what sort of lemon it is? I have a Meyer lemon that lives outside in a pot and only needs to come in on the very coldest nights ( freezing) - it only spent one night indoors all of last winter, though we are a bit of an urban micro climate - and we get fruit off it each year. So a...

I would say lack of water as its producing the new leaves and we have had some hot days ,,,, its still settling in as newly planted

Have you got a picture of the tree in question and also a close up of the damage. Might help as you say, one bug doesn't constitute an infestation.

I have noticed over the past couple of years, how gardeners are becoming more and more aware of problems in the garden and the outside world. This is very commendable. However may I stress. It is so very easy for the average gardener to become perplexed and anxious.Most appreciativly many...

Update.Sorry @Nikolaos I didn't realised you had messaged:(The shoot I digged around & found it wasn't attached to the tree, so managed to pull out & potted it up.The bark issue. We think we know what's the problem. Wind... Before I bought my house, there was a big hedge in the front...

Always better to have a word with your neighbours first before chopping any branches, can save a lot of conflict, even if it is legal for you to cut them off; you are technically supposed to politely return said branches.

Best if you email or phone that supplier who should be able to give you a qualified answer.

Well to be honest I can't think of anything else it could be. Unless someone spayed it with some thing nasty when you wasn't around.It looks like the new growth was pretty advanced and if you had an air frost it could easily do that. The new growth on some trees are unharmed by frost, others...

Hi all,I planted five Portuguese laurel trees in October 2018 and for the first year they were fine with no problems and good growth. Around the end of April one of the trees had a big leaf drop. I didn't notice anything wrong with the tree prior to that. I have been watering the trees...

The area under the tree looks to be too shaded for keeping a good lawn anyway so I think you should consider different options. I'd try plant some shade tolerant shrubs to hide anything you don't like the look of and put down wood chips over the rest to give you something nicer to walk on.

I’m no expert, but I’ve found they’re quite fussy. Firstly, they like the soil to be on the acidic side. For this, I’ve generally used Ericaceous compost. Avoid a location where they are exposed to direct sunlight (for extended periods) and cold winds. Basically, somewhere sheltered. I have no...
