My father gave me this plant before Christmas and said it was a kumquat grown from seed of fruit sourced in Florida. I gave it to a friend who has an orangery thinking that it should fit in nicely. The thing is that it doesnt resemble a kumquat plant from what we can see. Do you have an idea what this could be?
I have a problem each year with my lilac plants, in county Monaghan. The leaves turn brown and curl up and fall off. It appears from previous "Ask Gerry" questions by others that it may be honey fungus damage. What is the treatment for this condition.

We have an old apple orchard possibly 130 years old. we know the variety of some of the trees but not all. Unfortunately with the recent weather some of the trees have blown over.

Wisteria is well established, growing along a fence, c 30 m long, straggly & bits are somewhat bare at this time of year. Probably need someone to prune it properly, even if I lose a year.
