    Angels trumpets (Brugmansia) can anyone say why I cannot get this plant to flower, I feed it well but do not know whether it prefers sun or shade it is kept outside all year but I protect it well in the winter plenty of healthy growth but no flowers.

    Betty: Brugmansias are very thirsty and very hungry. Try not to prune them too much as they will only flower after the stem has forked.
    Grow in sunshine.

    Hi, I have a fig tree in a pot which grows quite happily but the figs are lacking. I started off with about 15 small ones this year and now have only 3. It has 5 very long woodie stems about 4 feet high leaves like hands at the ends and nothing inbetween. I don't know what variety it is but could anyone tell me a) why I am loosing the baby figs and b) should I prune it to encorage new growth from the bottom and when do I do this. Thank you.

    Hi! I have planted an Acer in a round bed in my front garden. It is north facing but the bed gets some sun for part of the day. I'm not sure what to plant with the Acer and am thinking of putting some grasses in the bed as well. Has anyone any ideas about what might look good? Many thanks

    Thanks for this post. I hadnt thought of putting my Geums with grasses but I can see now that this would really work.

    The leaves of a very mature wisteria seem to have gone limp and lifeless as if hit by frost. It flowered extremely well but there are no pods being produced and none of the usual exuberant growth of 'flyers'. Is this plant dying ?

    Bruce:Your Wisteria: mine has just done exactly the same thing...something mysterious is going on.
