  • Could some wonderful expert tell me why my 20 year Laburnum Tree decided to die, for no apparent reason. New growth commenced early spring, but only a few new leaves, flowers started to show, then the whole lot died. Its now a prominent dead large structure. I can find no trace of canker or bugs. Are these trees susceptible to something?
  • I have never blogged before and this may not be the corrrect place - but - we have just cut a ROSE with 2 bloooms on th stem. One bloom is white and the other is lemon. I have never experienced this phenomenom before, so is anyone able to enlighten me why, 7 how this happens? many thanks. [email protected]
  • We bought 10 Mrs Bradshaw geums this year and planted them in the front in a sunny location. According to the tag, they like sunny spots and thrive/are hardy in our zone (along with others) -- north of Atlanta, GA. They were wilting a bit the first week, but we watered them every day trying to help them along in the hot weather, but then one completely died. Then another died, and now all but one have died. Too much sun? Do they really not like sun and hot weather?
  • I neglected to mention at least half of them were thriving and hearty and had really filled out for several weeks before they started dying.
  • Ginny: They are indeed happy in sunshine (although your idea of sunshine in Georgia is very different to ours here in the UK!)
    It sounds as if it is more the fault of the original plant of perhaps some soil borne pest or disease.
  • how and when do i prune a fig tree? it produces fruit but they don't ripen,anybody got any ideas?
  • I planted a laburnum in a large pot two years ago. This spring, some leaves are turning yellow. Can anyone let me know if it needs a special feed?
  • Bruce: Very difficult to tell without seeing the plant. It could be just a bit knackered after flowering.
    Lorrie: Thank you
    Fran: Grasses for shade include: Deschampsia cespitosa, Luzula nivea, Milium effuseum,Hakenechloa macra, Carex morrowii, Imperata cylindrica.
