Whoops. Wish I'd read this earlier. Unfortunately, 1 of mine 'caught a cold' ie got caught by frost and is now leafless. Is it dead or will it recover next year?
Try scraping the bark of stem with your fingernail. Green- alive, brown-dead.The frosted stems also go white. You could try pruning back to beyond any areas of die back.
It should have started to grow new leaves by this time of year, so doesnt sound promising. J.
Stick childrens wind whirlygigs etc. into the ground and the vibration usually frightens them away. Mind you: most of Scotland is getting covered with wind turbines now (Cheers Alex.) so I expect the overall effect will be no moles (or tweetybirds come to that).
Hi, we several acers in pots, but we have repotted a acer which we were advised to do, it seems to have leaves drying up as soon as they appear, what advice can anyone give me?
We repotted our Acer in November but is as now started to loose some of its new leaves it as never done this before is there anything we can do to stop this
Hi, I've just been generously gifted two small Acers. I'm a complete gardening novice so I wondered if I should immediately repot, water and get them on the balcony or if they should be fine in the garden centre pots until next autumn? Any tips to look after them?
