Trees

Thanks for the replies. They're very much appreciated. GF.

I lightly spray the whole tree, that way you kill off overwintering pests aswell.Jan is a good time to move it.

Kind of off topic but when I was very young I had a coversation with the tree in my back garden, turns out it was just my dad leaning out the window throwing his voice though! :D

The plums are ready now and they are heavenly. Not a vast quantity but absolutely delicious:thumb:

Thank you Tree Surfer for your information. I thought that there wasn't much I could do. However they do flower beautifully. I trim the branches to make them a bit bushier. I appreciate your time xxx

Can I jump in here! - What is happening to my eucalyptus, the lower leaves are developing small brown spots, turning red or brown and dropping - I lots of leaves on the ground. Is this stress from the heat and not enough rain? Should I water it? Or is this some kind of disease? Would really...

Thanks a million for that Pete. I'll follow your instructions on the watering - let it be on the dry side - I have kept it well watered, I know they drink a lot but will do as you say. It's 2 shoots are OK but growing very slowly.

I think anyone that knows me will tell you that I am a definite grower from seed. Most of my plants, where possible have been grown from seed. I just think that in this case, a purchased plant of a know variety would be a better bet in the long run. You could if you wanted, grow you own...
