Trees

Don't forget to wear gloves :D

thanks! ... The Daphne is a bit small for the area where I will be planting (from what I have read, the Daphne only grows 1m, and we need something a bit taller) ... I will however buy a Daphne for the client and plant it near his back patio/decking area, as there is space for a few more...

i love them tree's great shape to them i'll have it if you don't want it :WINK1: lol. i may be wrong here ::o but can't you cut it down to a stump so it will regrow from their ,or would that not solve the problem/not work with those types of tree

You won't get any fruit this year if it has all dropped off. When it flowers in spring that's where the fruit starts. Fingers crossed for next year though. My cherry only ended up with 2 so not much of a harvest but it has grown so maybe next year will be better!

Or leave it to rot, and meantime make use of it as a feature, maybe place a potted plant on top, or a statue, or ...or...or.. (use your imagination

Hi Alistair Welcome to the Forum Good question to start with . I do have to bay trees , and have had them for years . Had a bashing over winter but slowly recovering and come next year will be perfection as usual. I would take my time IE OVER THE YEAR to reshape. Rather than do all now...

Congratulations Kyle, it's a great feeling when the smallest of challenges pay off!

Good afternoon, I have quite a large yew, approx 15m span, in one corner of the garden. Having just put a new fence up under about half the branch span I now have a bare south facing earth border. Does anyone know of any types of plants or small shrubs that will survive under the yew branches...

I garden on heavy clay myself, which is why I have had to resort to taking steps to raise the planting hole of many of my plants, to get above the water table. Japanese maples in particular do not like wet feetYou could also try to raise the bed by the use of old bricks or field stones or...

Thank you for the clarification.

Taking into account the value and beauty of the Acer why chop it down when with a bit of help from your friends you could attempt to dig it out and replant it? I have a son-in-law who has successfully moved 10' - 12' foot trees more than once all by himself! Granted it will take effort...

no, it wouldn't

cheers, i treated it as a cutting and i wouldnt say that its dead yet. on the surface it withered within a day. and now, a week later it looks like a lost cause. But, its beginning to root! how do i make another bay tree from this? pleeeeeaaasssee.

Sorry about the one post per picture but when I tried to add them to the same post, they appeared side by side as opposed to one on top of eachother meaning you'd have to scroll to see them all and it made the forum board look untidy. I hope the images are clear enough. Thanks Dom

Aromaessence, Gardening with Bach flower remedies "plants on their last legs" . Sorry I cannot give you any more information HarryS as this is a pass on from a friend .

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,...

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.

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 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

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.
