This tree spent 2 yrs in a large tub then went in the ground, the surrounding hedge has grown almost as tall as the little tree now (about 3 feet tall) and I think it does not get enough sunlight anymore as it seems to have stopped growning. It is in its current position for about the last 3 years now and I don,t want to damage it as it was a special anniversary gift, any advice would be very welcome.

I've a wooden arbour in the garden (which has good soil throughout) and there are some mature climbers on it: honeysuckle, clematis & jasmine which get trimmed every year.There was also a mature sycamore beside the arbour which was cut down last November and the trunk poisoned to kill it off.A sewer line about 4.5metres away from these plants was inspected recently and there are some roots showing at a depth of 1 metre down. I'd be much obliged if you'd offer and opinion as to the likelihood these belong to any of the climbers ?

I have a gorgeous pink lady apple tree growing at my allotment. Last night I noticed a hole in the trunk close to the bottom of the tree, about 10cm in diameter and 1cm deep. I also spotted a joint on an upper branch withy crusty, dried and flaky chunk bark. I am worried!!! What should I do?
