Several years ago, we transplanted an apple tree. Most of it died but part of it recovered and grew new shoots producing apples. Another part of the tree grew new shoots producing apples also. We removed this part and replanted it and put rooting powder on the roots. Will it grow again?

Our lovely mature variegated Holly (about 25 ft) is shedding leaves in one section. The leaves are blackening at the tip and are falling off promptly afterwards. It is spreading rapidly.

I enclose a photo of rhubarb plants which are being eaten. I'm wondering what could be attacking them at this time of year and what remedy you would recommend. The variety is 'Timperly Early'. I have applied slug pellets to no avail.
