The television programme is far more elusive, and you'd have to ask them just why this is. Many viewers would love a way to contact the programme directly.
However, you can use the forum at bbc.co.uk/gardening to post comments about the programme, as many viewers do.
Elsie, Yes rhododendrons can grow well in containers. I'd choose a dwarf and compact variety, like Rhododendron yakushimanum or one of its hybrids. <ake sure the half-barrel has good drainage holes in teh base, or bottom of the sides, and plant in a loam-based ericaceous compost. Finally, keep in a slightly cooler and shaded spot rather than in full sun during summer, and keep watered. Feed a few times a year with a plant food specifically formulated for ericaceous plants – there are several on the market.
I have a problem with a Sun King shrub. It is 6 years old, about 6ft tall and was absolutely covered in flowers this spring. However now that the flowers have done it appears to be dying. The leaves are turning brown, dry and dropping. There are some new leaves but very very few. We are trying extra watering and feed but are desperate not to lose it - any ideas what is causing this?
I have a 'sun king' which is about 4 feet high and just one stem, and I am not sure what I should be doing with it, should I just stake it, or should I be trying to get it to bush out?
I have never pruned my plant, and haven't found any advice on doing so. It does grow and grow. In fact, my plant reached about 3-4m this summer and was taking up too much room, so I have severely pruned it down to a stump. I'm hoping new shoots will emerge from the woody trunk. Time will tell!
It was very interesting for me to read that blog. Thanx for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I would like to read more soon.
we have a sunking it is about 8-9ft tall weve had it about 5years, the harsh winter weve had has taken its toll and it looks as though it has died, we have scraped the trunk and it is still green , any tips on how to prune, do you cut below where the leaves are or further down please help if possible as its a great plant.Thank you
