Early this year I bought a pot grown Populus x Candicans `Aurora`, and subsequently planted it out in my front lawn, where it seemed to thrive, reaching about 2 m high by midsummer. One morning, I was staggered to find that almost every leaf had been eaten away. I couldn`t believe that an insect could devour so much foliage in just one night. Can anyone tell me what could have caused this? There didn`t appear to be any trace of anything when I looked over the tree. Many thanks.

Many thanks, folks. I did check the `inside` of the leaves but there was no obvious traces of unwanted livestock. However, I have removed the offending leaves and have moved the plants to a different location, well away from any other plants.I shall be avidly watching for any recurrence. Thanks again.

Hello. I have a couple of Cripps Pink apple plants that I have cultivated from seed. (I am under no illusions about getting fruit from them!). They are both thriving in my conservatory, being about 9" - 10" high at present. However a few of the leaves on one of them have developed one or two tiny brown patches around the leaf edges, and these leaves are curling downwards and under, forming a cylindrical shape. Can anyone suggest what is causing this, and a possible solution? Many thanks

Many thanks. I was obviously expecting too much too soon. I shall watch and wait, as you advise. I didn`t lose my original wisteria, by the way (my earlier post). I`m just having a few problems with it. I`m now trying to start a couple more.

Further to my earlier post (11th May) regarding my established wisteria, I recently sent for 2 more wisterias as advertised in a national newspaper. They arrived bare rooted and dry. I soaked the roots overnight, and planted in a good quality organic general purpose compost. After a week, the tiny buds that were on the stem seemed to dry up and flake. After a fortnight, I complained to the suppliers (Thompson and Morgan) who sent me 2 replacements. I again soaked and planted as above. The original
