I have a common escallonia just over a meter high and was thriving, eventhough in a very exposed site. Now its practically dead with most branches totally bare and a few with dead leaves on. When showing it to a friend recently he said his escallonia hedge has a number of plants similar to mine. He also lives in Bantry. Could this be "Sudden Oak Death" or what can I do. There are still two or three healthy branches remaining.
I would like to prune two or three branches off my coral bark acer senkaki, which is about 14 years old. Is this a good time of year to do this, or is there a danger of the sap bleeding?
I have two mature grey sally (willow) trees growing on the boundary of my rural garden. These shed lots of seeds during the late spring, which means lots of seedlings all over my flowerbeds. I also have an ash tree which is threatening to stifle a neighbouring beech tree. I plan to have these cut down and paint the stumps with SBK Brushkiller. Is this a sutiable time of year or should I wait until Spring?
