Are there any issues with using fresh shredded branches as garden mulch. Any trees to avoid?
I'm wondering if a 7 year old american oak has honey fungus. Various types of browning of leaves, also mildew on some, but mushrooms appeared at base of tree which is odd. Transplanted to county wicklow, and new container, from dublin suburbs few months ago. Did well initally, then began to look sick. I'd be grateful for any advice.
My daughter has a beech hedge in Darver Co Louth.approx 5years old.Last spring the leaves on about twenty very mature plants seemed to shrivel up and eventually they went bare and seem to be dead.I wonder if this is some kind of fungal attack as three apple trees in the area also produced very small distorted leaves this year and never developed any blossoms.
We have quite a large established bed of Jersey lilies which are in full bloom at the moment. Unfortunately we are about to embark on an extension and need to move the flowerbed (starting on-site in 6-8 weeks approx). Construction will take around 12 months.Can we lift the bulbs (clean them off etc) and store in a cool shed for the next year or do we need to transplant? Most grateful for your advice as we would hate to lose the bulbs.
my beautiful Robinia was very slow to get its leaves and many branches died last winter. i had underplanted it last year with perennials . Did I damage the roots. Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life?
