Trees

Thanks GG

Have a pear tree and the bark has patchy areas pretty much all over it as pictured. Any ideas? Doesn't seem to be in any distress, no visible bugs/critters/crawly things and has fruit forming nicely.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

You're welcome Ian.

Not an expert, but I would guess the trees were actually dead.

Hey well latest is its still surviving and as for how deep in pot I have put it to the same level as was in the pot. It has had a good watering after the storm last night. Think I have cracked it . Will do another photo tomorrow....

Good morning Tabir never give up on any plant/shrub/Flower keep it well watered at the base be patient ,you have nothing to lose and everything to gain,give at a chance,

Hey all. I love acers and have 4 small ones each in a big pot each. All but one have thrived and it was my favourite dark red colour, names escaped me lol. Anyway this spring when they all started to get their leaves it never and seemed to just die. Its just sticks now tho i cut a bit off and it...

Welcome to GC Tony, I agree with HarmonyArb, it does look like it needs a good hard trim, I did this when I moved into our new home and everything looks great this year

Looks like Photinia (red robin) to me

yes by the sounds of it im way too late to harvest the water, will try this next year, how much do you think i could get from one tree, and how long can you store the water for?i love the sound of making maple syrup too!

Wasn't even sure that 3 was an apple so thanks for that. Can't wait for it all to grow.Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I was going to say that we had late frosts this year which could be responsible for killling the blooms, but if the tree itself is dying I'm at a loss. Hopefully someone else will be along soon.

I've heard of pear cider, but never pear wine - sounds lovely .. just don't do the tree naked (neighbours and all that )

Thanks folks, I put one in about a metre tall and will keep it behaving.Not the most pleasing on the eye, but it works in the ground it's living in!

I'd go with a balanced NPK (7-7-7) mix just for now. Ideally some organic feed such as rotted manure would be preferable. Don't overwater the tree either - too much water can be just as detrimental as too little.

Hi @G_MCD .I was browsing through the tree section of the forum, and noticed that no one has responded to your question. How does your tree look now? I am assuming that the brown bits look browner, but that there are not noticeably more brown bits on the leaves?The green insects you...

Yes I suppose it would Pete but I'm not going to try it .

If the tree has been regularly pollarded and it shows good strong growth year after year, then generally you can continue with it. Problems arise when a mature tree that has never been majorly pruned before is suddenly pollarded.

Thanks it does indeed look like this - It really does seem to be taking nicely in my garden so hopefully it will look fab when it develops some colour!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help with mine! I'm worried about it. It was bought for me as a gift so I've grown an attachment to it. I planted it in ericaceous soil as directed and put some drainage at the bottom of the pot for improved drainage but it seems to be going a browny...
