Trees

My almond looks the same as this one -- a fairly bare trunk and leaves at the extreme branches but is still fruiting. Can it be saved? -- I think it is about 15 years old -- it was approx. 2m tall when we move in here in 2005. It has suffered from this condition for about 3 years.

I'm with Dai! I planted a plum tree a few years ago and pruned away as per professional advice. Although it didn't do any real damage I found that vigour was deteriorated and the following years plums weren't as prolific. I'd suggest leaving another year just to let it bed in and see where it...

Good evening Robin and welcome to the site. I think you could be overwatering it. Let it dry out for a few days and see what happens.

My main lemon tree is doing well now i've moved it into the greenhouse. Mrs was trying to kill all my plants on the window sill by not opening the blinds all day when I was working away. Citrus are usually grafted, to its touch and go whether you'll get any flowers on one grown from seed. ...

Many thanks Dave, much appreciated.

Yep, thats him :D:WINK1: He's got a Corpse Flower you know:WINK1:

I have a potted christmas tree also. I think its a nordman fir. I was thinking about putting this in the ground as it's still growing, now producing pine cones.Will it survive the move into the ground?

I agree with Aesculus, Pachysandra will do the job. Perhaps, also, Japanese Azalaeas.

I agree with Armandii on the Acers. I would also suggest Liquidamber, any of the flowering cherries, Robinia frisia psueodoacacia, Sophora or ( an evergreen one ) Piptanthus laburnifolius ( Evergreen Laburnum ).

Unless you are vegetarian.

I had a bit of trouble with my apple tree earlier this year, which forced me to prune back, and lose a years growth. My leaves have curled slightly, but I think it's due to the wind, like you do. Sorry I can't be of more help.

If I had to choose just one thing that really makes my blood boil, it would have to be when people pick on old ladies living on their own.The trouble is, as my mum once found out, if you fight back, things sometimes get worse before they get better.Sadly its not even as though its an...

Hi,They are kind of house plants.My plan is to have 1 or 2 bonsai trees, and a couple 1.5-2 metre high trees.The trees with the biggest problem are the two I'm letting grow a lot bigger. I repotted them 2-3 weeks ago and I've also stated to feed them.Thanks, Grant

I have a Bay tree I brought from the IoW ten years ago and it has given me nothing but grief, mostly sooty mould problems and every year I diligently wipe every leaf with soapy water ... big task with a 1.5 meter tree! Well, now it has scale insect disease so that is it ... I am getting rid of...

nice one ladies..there is hope :D i think il buy one like victoria suggests pixie x if not to save time on it fruiting if i get that far that is just where to buy from il have to search any suggestions very very welcome xx

Hi all, my cherry tree does not seem to be producing many fruits compared with the amount oif blosson it had. Is it because it is still a small tree? Or is it pollination issues? Not many bees about when it was in blossom! Also is the fruit being eaten by birds? Thank you.

Hello I want to plant a cherry tree, can anyone help , I would like one that does not easily suffer from disease and has a sweet tasting cherries. thanks

I was advised to feed mine once a week with tomato feed. I got a good crop of small but sweet and juicy peaches.

Hello and welcome Johnson. We are now at the end of June. If the leaves on the tree are still brown and dead looking then the tree is probably dead. Probably due to the hard winter. What a shame - but it happens. Can you let us have a pic of the tree so that we can see what is going on.

Hey Music, Nice to see you on the main bits of the forums again Yes, they do go into a biennial fruiting pattern, I think the correct pruning might help, but i'm hopeless at that.:D We have a big one on a hill near us, last year was pants, but this year looks promising. Need apples soon,...
