hi,gerry,i planted a blackhamburg 25 yrs ago in a unheated green house.i traned it as single rod.the rod developed to 25 ft and produced about 30 bunches of lovely grapes.but for the last three years it has produced no flowers or fruit but plenty of lush foliage, I did all the necessary nipping out each fruiting stem is based 1 ft apart. The rod is planted in a 3ft square. Can I get it to fruit or is the vine exhausted? Its a very mature vine and I would be reluctant to loose it. Hoping you can help. Blackburg,
When can I redirect a grapevine in the glasshouse
Where can I purchase the shrub Bougainvillea? I love it. I have a southly facing sheltered site(building at moment) can picture this plant there.
i have a bird of paradise in a glasshouse for 1 year.it hasn't produced any flowers. the label that came with plant says it flowers between december and april. is this correct?
I sent you a photo of the bougainvillea leaf but may have sent it to the wrong section. I have had my plant about 10 years and never know what type of compost to repot it in. I gave it some rhododendron feed and the result is yellow leaves with dark green veins. Also very few leaves. It is flowering profusely and is a wonderful sight at the moment. Would B@Q peat free compost be good or multi purpose with peat? Is it acid loving or alkaline? We grew them with either in Kenya I think.
Trying to trace Polygala Myrtitolia to buy? We bought in Cornwall last year but unfortunately lost it during the winter. Can you suggest any Irish nursery to try? Also the Climber Mandville. many Thanks. Eilis
