Trees

Hi,This was a photo of my maple tree last year:This year it's green and not looking too well:Does anybody know what variety it is and why it may not be doing as well this year?Thanks, Nick

just worried cause something i read on this seemed to imply that the final height reached would be reduced by cutting them back

Good point, Pete.:thumb:

No, as it`s still growing give it a feed. If you are using F,B and B.. give a feed of about 4 ozs to the square yard.:thumb:

Thanks a lot for the help. I will get down to my local garden centre to pick up some fungicide soon.

:cnfs::cnfs::cnfs:Hello from a new gardener. I've taken the role over from my mum who cant do it anymore due to ill health but I need some advice. She has 3 chinese pear trees that need a little attention. Soil type = clay / free draining.The leaves on the smallest tree (approx 6' tall) are...

On the subject of position, I agree with Walnut that it's not got the best chance to thrive where it is. It's not just in a tight corner, it's very close to the house and will suffer dryness around the roots when it gets bigger.Also, I'm sure I read somewhere that apple trees, when newly...

David has this one spot on Swamp cypress is your tree

It`s a beauty, and as bananaman says it looks very delicate.

Thanks for all your replies.Flinty - I'm sorry you're puzzled! All I can type is what I've seen. The trunk shape isn't conventional. It seems like the branches coming from it are almost merged with the trunk from the base, making a very odd looking trunk shape. I suppose when it is cut, the...

Hi everyone,First post so a big cheer from me to you guysI have what I think is a Satsuma tree (fruited about 3 yrs ago but nothing since), and brownish blobs have appeared on the leafs. Admittedly, I noticed them last yr but they were few and far between. This time however, there are...

Intresting dave, Could well be Ill look into it a bit further.

Wow thanks for that its really good.

Earlier this year I bought a new cherry tree and a new plum tree from a local well established garden centre. Both are self fertilising to help, and both originally stood about 4foot high (now about 4ft 6in) They were both planted about March/April and have taken well, the plum tree initially...

I doubt Spring Scorch. Yew got through the last Ice Age and you can see yew hedges in good condition all over the country, rain and shine. However, yew does go brown sometimes:1. Like any plant it drops its leaves when they are worn out. Some yews do this branch by branch... 2. Yew gets...

Hi, As above the lilac tree is a shrub and it wont cause any problem whatsoever-just chop the branch at the base of the fence and seal it-is it the neighbours tree?

It should be starting them I think-little green things. At least I hope that is what is growing on mine/
