hi,gerry,i planted a blackhamburg 25 yrs ago in a unheated green house.i traned it as single rod.the rod developed to 25 ft and produced about 30 bunches of lovely grapes.but for the last three years it has produced no flowers or fruit but plenty of lush foliage, I did all the necessary nipping out each fruiting stem is based 1 ft apart. The rod is planted in a 3ft square. Can I get it to fruit or is the vine exhausted? Its a very mature vine and I would be reluctant to loose it. Hoping you can help. Blackburg,

I have two mature grey sally (willow) trees growing on the boundary of my rural garden. These shed lots of seeds during the late spring, which means lots of seedlings all over my flowerbeds. I also have an ash tree which is threatening to stifle a neighbouring beech tree. I plan to have these cut down and paint the stumps with SBK Brushkiller. Is this a sutiable time of year or should I wait until Spring?
