I have 6 olive trees which seem to be dying. They have plenty of water and are sheltered in a 15 ft wide side garden. Some seem to be dead while others have buds and leaves varying amounts on each. They have been in the same spot for 6 years but this year they are in trouble. Can you please help as they were expensive. They are about 5ft high.

i want to plant around my septic tank to add a bit of life to it. i want evergreen shrubs and some that will flower also. i dont want them to grow to high maybe around two foot. what should i put in.

Can you recommend evergreen climbing clematis suitable for 1. planting in wooden trough in sunny (v. hot)courtyard [frost tolerant, if possible] 2. planting in ground, getting a certan amount of sunbut overhung by large plane tree

Is there a plant ideally a climber or a small shrub that will grow in shade and flower all year round or most of year, evergreen preferably.I have a small plot with a few shrubs and climbers but none really flower even though when i got them a couple of years ago they said they would in the garden centre.I am not entirely clueless when it comes to gardening, but i am learning.

Can you train a clematis to grow up a pebble dash wall? Will it grow itself or does it need supports? Drilling into pebble dash is impossible!

I have a patio in need of privacy and some shelter from wind. Its a sunny southfacing area but most of it is exposed to wind from all directions. I would like some shrubs that might give year round interest and maybe some architectural plants. The area is approx 7m x 3m.
