Vine Weevils really seem to go for warscewicziias I have found out in my greenhouse. Indica seem immune, so far.
I would also do the same - Aluminum Sulphate only lowers the pH, it does not add any minerals. Magnolia Grandifolia need iron. I think it would...
The hedges bill in Scotland and guidelines in England are to restrict anti-social evergreen hedges, not trees. So a 20ft Beech tree hedge is fine...
A thicket of Ricinus...great idea. I have a great spot to try that.
I had a mix of impala, zanzibarensis and communis (?) and some floated. All looks to have germinated, even the one with the patterned shell...
I just soak them for a few hours then put them in a bag of soil and into a warm spot (airing cupboard) until they germinate (seems to be 2 days to...
A heat sink to keep a greenhouse frost free cheaply during spring and winter? http://www.reuk.co.uk/Solar-Greenhouse-Heat-Sink.htm

'Sutherlands Gold' as I see you just found online!
Actually Sambucus 'black lace' looks very similar to Acer palmatum dissectum. It is much smaller and is not rampant unlike 'nigra'. I suppose it...
In that aspect I would go for Sambucus black lace. It has the look you wan but is far more easy to keep looking good and healthy. Acers are easy...

Thanks, I thought that but needed to hear it from someone else! I will leave them by the windowsill.
I chipped mine with nail clippers, put in a wet kitchen towel then into a zip bag. The rooted like mad within 1 week to the extent it was...
I bad! You need to put the wet paper towel and seeds in a zip bag - the baggie method. I also found that scraping a knife along the back of the...
Do Canna's need direct sunlight? I have several rhizomes that are taking up valuable windowsill space and 2 trays of seedlings (warszewiczii and...
You need it to be tight or it will not rejoin, that is my experience. You will end up with it rotting or dieing back or not rejoining if it is not...
Thanks Freddy. I was lucky as the Canna has shoved up 6 inches of growth from the middle of the stem. The emerging leaves have a flat area like it...
I had a Birch that did a similar thing last year. I tightly bound the stem together with string in the hope that it would self heal. It did leaf...
Hi, I just had some Canna musifolia delivered. The top inch or so has snapped off two of them. Bad news or will they still grow?
