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/

:thumb: Charlton it could be an Oriental Tea Tree... Going by the leaves etc.. If it is, it is an indoor one..! Have a look here..

Hi Andy. Sounds like you let it get a little on the dry side. :rolleyes:If you have new budlets, I would remove the old leaves now to let the new ones develop and they should be smaller. I have always 'stripped' mine in the winter/spring just before they start budding. Mine are so tiny leafed...

hedgeman: thanks for your interest. No marks at bottom of tree, but leaves are dark brown, curled up and very brittle. Didn't notice any spots before, but have to say it looks fairly terminal.

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:
