Trees

Just a boy with too many toys methinks!:hehe:

Sportball,As long as your pruning did not damage the branch collar (or you left stubs that are too long), then the tree should seal over the wound naturally. Cutting too far into the trunk, or too far away, and the tree's meristem won't produce the wound wood required for sealing. Your pic...

Thanks Shiney-I have just the place.

Don't watch it not very proffesional,giving people the wrong idea, nothing clever about it.not bravery stupidity,shouldn't put these programmes on tv I could go on but then who am I to criticise,does this sound familiar:D:D

Yip .... I continue to find, to my cost, that windy conditions are NOT suitable

It depends where you are in the country I guess. In the SouthEast its not that cold for prolonged periods. 10 years ago I had a nice DS and it perished due to bad advice about packing with straw to protect from cold. I wasn't the tropical nut then that I am now.:D Basically it dried out and...

The chart came from Norwich Unions website about safe distances from buildings etc. As with all insurance stuff, I concur with Treesurfers advice to take it with a pinch of salt.

I would agree with Leaf Cutter Bee.:thumb:

Thank you all for the input, I am much heartened and suspect that I have been overwatering in the dry spells (plus we've had torrential downpours like everyone else). I shall tuck it in snuggly for the winter and hope for better in the Spring. Should I remove all the damage, or leave well...

That's interesting. Thanks for your replies.The soil the tree is very much clay ridden. My house and my neighbours home were pilled several metres down when the homes were built, so I hope the tree couldn't possibly damage them.CheersGreg

Thanks for the hint - I will do! There's some magic going on here - it's already there! Marley - is this your doing??

£7, and it can lift a tonne-that`s just about enough for me and my cat-thanks a lot Paul, You two are the best.

No luck so far Marley - I do hope someone can help, I've never planted a tree before and I'd be really sad to lose it. Please help someone!

Hi SPG welcome to the forum don't worry about asking questions we might have heard before it's always swings and roundabouts on here and that's what makes it fun.:wink: If your conifer fails to enjoy the 'move' it will give you a good excuse to buy something else in it's place I know it will...

Can't take it back - 250 miles away from me !! I don't live in my home county of Norfolk now .. been all round the estate and that is the only fruit tree ! Not too far from me so here's hoping, and I do have lots of plants in my garden which attract the bees .... I would go buy another, but...

thans. no, it's not frost, it's a bit of sand left over from a bag of sand that was near that tree. does look like frost thoughhasn't gotten that cold here yet(i'm in ireland). pity, if it had, the snow would make a nice change from the persistent rain

Hi folks. The Box are planted 6" apart, we'll see how it goes. Cheers...freddy.

Hi All I bought 2 Acer at the start of what passed for the summer ,and i was not aware they dont like wind, sad to report both have now gone to the big forest in the sky,

Hi At 70, your apple is entering the twilight of its fruiting life (it would have been grubbed out of a commercial orchard 15-20 years ago). If you don't know what it is, and you want more of the same, you can get a new one grafted from your old tree at Bernwode Plants. If you are sentiental,...

Wooly aphids.
