Trees

Thanks both, I'm taking your suggestions on board!Cheers.

Thanks Victoria =]I'm actually in Edinburgh now and my mum made the move to West Sussex so not on the Island anymore =[Marley Farley's a good possibility that it was a vine to be honest I didn't pay much attention to it until after I took the photo and realised how pretty it was =]

I agree, the ideal time would be November/December.:gnthb:

Thanks all. I hope my wee tree recovers. The fruits were a beautiful bright red and made the most gorgeous jelly. :cry:

Hello, I have a pear tree that appears to be at least 8 years old. It is very tall and looks neglected. Coming out of the ground immediately next to the trunk are two shoots which i believe to be the root stock (they have thorns on, which may be a quince or pear stock). These shoots are very...

thanks for help,although we are not isolated,i exchanged for a idared. thanks

Anything over 9 foot IIRC

Persoanlly I wouldn't give any more fertiliser this year, but I would encourage them in the Spring.Fingers crossed

It's great that some of them (Marley's as well) survived.

I wonder how many they grafted on at 1 time?

I unfortunately have quite a few Kanzan which are not my personal favourite , they are really pretty large so don't have the heart to take them down, have had both Shirofugen and Shirotae in a previuos garden both of which were lovely but don't know if they would suit where you mean to plant. I...

Thank you Harmony, i shall give them a call and see whats what.

Sorry Kath bit slow nowadays :cry: Yes they are in the ground ,now I come to think the "cox`s" was moved after 1 year ,as my garden was proving prone to flooding at the bottom end :lollol:

And the same to you Dollie

Thanks for the quick reply Dave,To be honest I don't really like plums, my wife eats most and the parents take the rest.If 50 isn't too bad for a 3 year old then thats good, i'll take your advise too and give it a trim back about June, nothing too severe for its first one mind.My...

Hi Pat,I thought it might be a small tree you were thinking of but as you mentioned Buddleja [which ain't a tree but a shrub] I wasn't too sure. So you want a preferably small tree that blossoms in a north-facing site with not too much light??! The usual choice for a small tree is a Cherry...
