• Potato blight

  Forum post by lottie on 28 Jul 2012

  Our allotment main crop potatos (Cara and King Edwards) have blight along with everyone else on the allotments. The question is - should we dig them up now and have small healthy potatoes or what will happen to them if we leave them to develop - will they be affected by the blight? Read more..

• Re: Norway Red Maple trees

  Forum post by lottie on 09 Jun 2012

  I think the die back started before last year. The trees are on land which may soon be sold and we are keen to get a TPO on them but are worried that the die back means they are not worth protecting. So we need advice as to how to proceed - if the dead bits are cut out the trees may continue to thrive. Any advice would be most welcome. Read more..

• Norway Red Maple trees

  Forum post by lottie on 07 Jun 2012

  I am concerned about 2 Norway Red Maples - they are quite large and probably about 30 years old. There is dead wood in them as well as healthy growth and healthy leaves. Should the dead wood be cut out or are the trees dying slowly? Read more..

  Well since my last post we've taken a look at what is under the bark atthe base of the trunk. The wood is damp and rotting with white stuff. It smells like mushrooms. So some sort of fungus - but how do I know if it honey fungus??? Lottie Read more..

  Thanks Dimitri We have had a quote for removal of the tree - just under £400 which includes £40 for grinding out the root ball. I don't know whether that will be enough to remove it all. I was hoping it wasn't honey fungus - as the tree guy din't think it was. Read more..

  Forum post by lottie on 27 Jun 2010

  Can anyone advise - we think our 50yr old walnut tree is dying! It produced quite a lot of very small leaves this spring but now they are all falling off in the hot weather. Last year the leaf canopy was reduced noticeably but not as bad as this year. Is it lack of water/a walnut tree disease/honey fungus? I took some of the small rather yellowish leaves to Hyde Hall yesterday but they didn't know what it was. The tree has been healthy and vigorous for the 35 years we've lived in the house Read more..
