    Hello :)

    We have recently moved to a new house and have inherited some plants/bushes that the previous owners left. I have no idea what some are or if I need to re-pot them/bring them inside for winter etc. I'm hoping someone on here can help :D Also it seems to have been eaten by something. We have lots of snails in the garden which I'm assuming is doing the munching.

    Looks like a weeping ornamental cherry I think:what: also I think it could do with some much needed TLC with regards to removing that bit of dead wood and also a good re-potting or even sticking in the ground:dbgrtmb: It should be fine outside although that does depend how cold it gets...

    Where's the RSPCP when you need them? (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants):heehee:

      Thanks for that. Do I just cut off the dead looking branches with secateurs? Unfortunately our full garden is paved, so I'll need to get a larger planter. Lots of the plants left were almost buried in the trees and we found them when we cut them back :phew:
