I have 4 Blackcurrant bushes that have yet to produce either flowers or fruit ever. They look extremly healthy!
Why are the leaves falling from the bottom upwards on my Kiwi 'Jenny' This is the 4th year of growth and is currently 10 foot in height. I have sown in large pot in sunny location and watered. Grew very well during few good weeks but now all leaves are falling since the weather changed. Does this mean it will die as I it was a very sentimental gift and would be very disappointed to loose it at this stage. I fed with Growmore pellets a few weeks ago.
We are after obtaining alot of greenfly in our school greenhouse, especially on our strawberry plants and our apple seedlings. What is the best and safest way to remove them.
My strawberry plants are just starting to bear fruit but on some of the plants the ends of the leaves are curling in and some of the fruits are not properly formed. There in a well ventilated glasshouse and are watered well. It looks as if i may loose a lot of fruit.
what can i do with shoots that grow from the base of strawberry plants
I have two plum trees. One absolutely laden with fruit the other consistently around 4 or five plums. It is a blue black variety looks like Ile de Louvain but cant be sure and is in all other respects very healthy and grows/flowers vigorously. Could it be that it is not self fertile? Although I believe Louvain is.
Two years ago I transplanted a Coronet apple tree from a pot directly into the garden. While it has flowered successfully since no apples appeared last year and I have discovered that the flowered buds are falling off now. Before it was transplanted I had successive harvests of apples. What do you think might be the problem? Would root rock cause this to happen as try as I might it doesn't want to stay still!!
The flowers on my blueberry plant have all fallen off,will this mean that they will not fruit.
Got 2 new raspberry bushes a while ago they were ok at first but now the leaves are curling and it looks like berries are going to be on it on it soon what should it do?
I have a dwarf apple tree (winston i think) and the leaves look like they have 2 different problems. One of the problems is that the leaves have a white powder on them, the other problem is brown spots(I put a pic of this). My gooseberries have the same problems. What is the best way to combat it? is it possible to do it organically and with stuff from the kitchen press.......? Last question: Last year my gooseberries got devoured from little green caterpillars, they are back again this year. Any advise? Thanks in advance
