I have about 11 silver birch trees planted down my driveway and have noticed that some are losing their leaves already and some leaves are turning brown, is this normal. I planted them earlier in the year and have been watering them regularly during the warm weather.
I planted 3 apple trees and two pear trees last year. All are good except for 1 pear tree, the leaves have black/brown spots on them and the tree looks like it is dying. I water them regularly.
I have an allotment and have started to harvest cabbage and other things and was just wondering what i could be planting now to continue the growing season as long as possible.
have a dahalia (Kendra Valentine)growing vigourously about two foot tall but as yet no side shoots should I pinch out the growing tip?
I have two Senetti plants whose leaves are covered in ugly, brown, wriggly lines. A look on the net tells me that this is leafminer fly, and most sites say that it is rarely that damaging to plants. However both senetti are now dying, and it looks like so many of the leaves are affected that the plant might not be able to photosynthesise properly.Is there any way of treating the plants at this stage or should I just chuck them? Picking off the infected leaves as suggested by some sites would mean almost all the leaves at this stage. I am also worried about the rest of my garden becoming infected.
the leaves of my mountain ash have turned brown and scorched looking,the leaves are not dropping,the same thing is happening to a second one.they are about 10 years,an apple tree has also died ,any help?
