I plan to grow Danish Noble, Providence 'Bidstrup F545' I read recently that there is a new disease that is spreading through Fir's., I can not find the article so I cant not think of the name of this disease.I'm just wondering have you come across it, and if so what would you reccomend against it and other diseases on the young plants? Plant supplier is of good quality!

I have Sections of Pittosporum established for 5-6 years now,Which is used for as Foliage Fillers.During the cold spell allot of it has been severly damaged, One factor that has not helped is the fact cutting were taken late last year from the trees.a. can I leave courgette plants which are doing very well, peppers,chilly peppers, aubergines and strawberry plants in situ or are they susceptible to blight ?162Some of the damaged plants are just starting to show signs of life lower down the tree.What would advise to try and help them along at this stage?

I have some Nobilis Abies procera growing for christmas trees and for foliage etc, some areas are a little off colour 'yellowing of the inside branch' I am guessing that Nutrient levels are low in these areas. Do you know of where I can get some tree samples tested so I can get the best fertilizer for the trees. Is there a need for a soil sample also?
