Trees

Thank you Harmony and Beckie After some thought I will be having it removed. I'm not confident I can get it back to a decent shape. If I thought I could, I would definitely opt for keeping it as I don't like the idea of basically killing it :(Not sure about replacing it, though I have looked...

I agree with Spruce and add what might be an idea in preparation would be to dig round the outside of the root balls and cut through any roots the trees have made since you planted them, effectively root pruning them in preparation for them moving. They will then be easier to move when the time...

It could be that the tip of the leader (the apical meristem) has been damaged and the tip no longer has apical dominance. Without apical dominance the remaining growing tips on lateral branches take over growing. Could also be a hormone imbalance leading to the same thing. Just give it time.

If it was me I would remove and replant. Haven't got the time to be messing about with it.

No my field of knowledge, sorry. But, what a great collection you have there. Wishing you all the best for a successful bonsai adventure

Best of luck with the seeds, don't forget the pics when they do germinate.I guess all you can do is keep trying with the bonsai forum, is there no phone no you could try?I suppose not every forum hss the high standards of GC. I'll receive my payment by cheque thanks admins

Hello I have the same problem plus my leaves are going white ish, did you sort your problem out? Alan

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Katie. This disease below is starting to take it's toll on conifers in Britain but it's not necessarily what yours are suffering from.Unfortunately conifers are very unlikely to recover once they start to die back as they can't replace dead branches and foliage...

What's the diameter at the base of the trunk Charlie? I think you said you'd planted it last autumn?

Thanks everyone.. To be honest I think I will get a professional to look after the tree as I would be upset if I spoiled it..Matthew our neighbours are brilliant and have not complained and I bet they never would but I would rather prevent them from having to do so.Thanks again all I...

Hi all,Please please help!! My husband and I have recently bought a brand new house - the garden was a complete blank canvas and the first addition we made to it were 6 trees. 3 red robins, 1 eucalyptus. 1 blossom tree and 1 something else!! The trees have been planted in the garden since...

Midland Hawthorn has 2 or 3 styles in the flower

Interesting replies - thanks. Mr C you say from the 70s??? well if that's the case I had better add it to the grandchildren's inheritance 'cos I might not be here to claim exclusive rights. I googled Wikipedia and find that Pink Lady apples have quite a history. they are not just any...

I'd go with Morello cherry, but would need to take a look at leaves, twigs and stem in person to be absolutely sure.

Hi @rosebayAs the young sapling is growing in a pot you can transplant at any time of the year.Soil conditions for Rowan and I have a lot growing where I live are variable so I wouldn't worry about dislikes and I have had them growing on clay in the past without a any problems.Soils...

Yes you can sever the roots, they're pretty shallow when they're young and you may find that if you give them a tug they'll pull out in a run all the way back to the tree. Once they're established they do get thicker and tougher and you're best cutting through those with some loppers.If they...

Thank you!

Thanks I'll replace it once the pot's been cleaned.

It is about 12ft, but its a scrawny old thing - not much shape to the canopy at all. I must admit that I never considered that it might be deterring the aphids from other stuff purely by keeping them occupied.
