I have a magnolia tree which is now about 9 ft tall. It flowered in its first year but poorly. I moved it to a spot where it seemed to thrive but it has not flowered since that first year. It has large white/pink tulip shaped flowers (or could have.) Any recommendations?
The weed in the attached photo is growing like wildfire in my field beside my house on Achill Island. I cannot kill it. Do you have any suggestions as to how to take care of this?

Having tried unsuccessfully for three years to eradicate this disease from my cordon apple trees, we eventually dug them up this spring. They were in the best location ( South facing wall) so I would like to try planting other fruit trees, maybe a fig. Could this disease recur? Do you have other recommendations?
Many years ago an article was published in "The Irish Garden" about the traditional Orange and Easter lily commonly grown in Irish gardens. I specifically want to know the botanic name of the traditional Irish Orange lily. Other Lilies that are orange are available but these are not the one's I remember from childhood. They had tiny black or brown spots on the petals. Would they still be grown in some gardens?
