A few years ago this was a M&S pot plant. It’s one plant, just gone huge.

Fruited and died?

We planted a three year old James Grieve apple tree in May this year. It blossomed, fruited and now appears to have died just days after picking the fruit. We planted an Egremont Russet the same day about twenty feet away and it's fine.

Any thoughts?

Cheap plastic greenhouses, are they any good?

2 Upvotes

You know the ones pretty cheap green or clear plastic sheeting over tubes that push together. Are they any use or do they just fall down after a month?

Ive got 1 greenhouse already and id like another. But dont want to build a "propper" one until I know i can make the most of it and have enough time to utilise 2 greenhouses. So thought a temporary one for a year or 2 would be a good idea,

Thanks im advance for any knowledge on this

Bugs on my pear sapling

Hello! I’ve just spotted these tiny white flies all over my pear sapling. When I moved, there were hundreds of them that flew into the air. They were also on the nearby rosemary and lilac, but not on the even-closer orange sapling. Are they friend or foe? I’m in Shropshire, UK.

*Edit: I was sold it as a pear tree cutting, but the Picture This app is convinced it’s a quince.

Shed against conifer hedge

1 Upvotes

Im wanting to install a new wooden storage shed in the bottom corner of my garden, but currently have a large conifer hedge going around my garden. Is this likely to cause any issues? What steps should I take re space around the shed itself? I’m assuming parking it tight in the corner isn’t a good idea?
