Trees

sorry forgot to add i have checked for canker, no shot holed leaves or sticky mess, and the fruit shows no sign of the fungal blossom blight. i need some expert advice really i suppose. but thanks any way

Free to Good Home I am forever pulling these up like weeds in my garden. If anyone would like a baby Walnut tree I am quiet happy to pop them in the post if you PM your address I have let one grow at the end of the garden and it had nuts on after about 5 years.We didn't get any the...

Thanks a lot for the information, I will work from there and see what happens. Crazy Colin

Ask avice from your Town Hall, ask for the Building Consultancy department.Problems can occur with really huge trees as they say there is as much below as there is above. Smaller trees would not harm foundations and conifers are shallow rooting but watch for willows etc although wont damage...

Thanks guys, yes I'd go with Solanum. Thanks again. Not gonna take seeds or cuttings, don't want a tree, but a fellow worker took some cuttings from it the other day.

I have got three avocado stones sitting in a row in a pot of Holy basil that I grow on the windowsill. So far they have nto done much but then they have only been sat there for 2 weeks. I will bury them in the soil a bit deeper then I have, keep it moist and see if anything appears. There...

I will just have to wait and see. Thankyou.

Thanks for the reply. The trunk is still green though some of the branches look dead at the ends. Should I trim down to the live bit or leave it alone.

bumblebee, lovely to see you here:D

I think Metasequoia glyptostroboides will be a very good choice. It's a beautiful tree and grows best on boggy terrain .

by the way i ment i purchased a pot slightly larger, but not too large sorry.Also, my grandfather recently purchased an AMAZING small coral bark japanese maple from tescos for £5, and he planted it straightinto the garden and has grew wonderfully ever since.

thanks everyone for replying and thankyou very much to Lady Of Leisure for the tips on bonsai! i may very well try again one day.THANKS!

Nothing sad about that at all. In fact, the realisation that something you've tried to grow from seed, has actually begun to grow is as sweet a feeling you can get.Nice selection of plants/herbs. :thumb:

Is it planted in a free draining position? The best way to plant these trees is in a shallow saucer shaped hole and then have the soil mounded up around the root ball to provide good drainage If you have done this then your problem is probably the windy journey, the stress of planting and the...

Congrats, Steve. Make sure to feed the plant.:thumb::D

May I thank the members who gave me advice when my Butterfly Acer lost its variegated colouring. Vegman was quite correct - after placing the Acer in shade ,the variegation is slowly getting back in to the leaves. Many thanks.

Same is happening here - lots of marble sized fruits dropping all over the lawn and paths. Creating a right mess but all of the larger fruits seem to be staying put.

If the roots haven't ventured out into the surrounding soil then no harm whatsoever can be done by digging it up When you say that it is 'not growing any at all' I am assuming that to be the case At the end of the day, the choice is yours

If the ground is fertile there's no need to add any fertilizer or top dressing when the tree is planted. As long as you leave a humus layer which will rot down and feed the tree you should be alright. Adding blood, fish and bone certainly won't harm the tree.

Beautiful specimen of a Xmas tree looking ok to me.
