I have a lovely large shrub of Daphne bholua "Jacqueline Postill" which has sent up suckers all around for the first time this year. I would like to pot up some and would like to know when I should do this? Also should I remove the rest? The mother plant is ringed with them, all along the root lines. During the recent hard winters a couple of branches died and I cut these out. I hope this does not herald the end of my daphne.
Our pond was covered in a net from early November until just over 2 weeks ago. For much, perhaps most, of of that time the pond was frozen. Yesterday my son drew my attention to the fact that on the bottom of the pond are many dead frogs. They are bloated but otherwise not decomposed. I'm seeking help as to what might caused the problem and how I might deal with it.
I have a magnificant specimen of Vibernum plicatum Mariesii which I have had for about 20 years and never pruned. It's now well exceeding its alloted space and more. What can I do to renovate it?
I recently bought a travertine statue for the garden. (How) Should I cover it in winter?
I would like to divide and transplant a very large fern (Dryopteris wallichiana) as it has got too big for where I planted it. Could you please advise me as to how and when I should attempt this?
