I had a few trees planted two years ago but they have failed to grow. I think this is down to using the strimmer to close to the bottoms of the tree while cutting the grass. The bark has bee chipped away but the trees are still alive. Is there anyway I can fix this and help the trees grow to their potential? Thanks.
I moved the Philodendron Xanadu to the front porch of my house which is enclosed and it is doing much better and I will move it indoors completely soon. It gets tiny aphids mainly on the back of the leaves. I have sprayed it with a house plant pest spray containing fatty acids its (been in the garage a long time perhaps it's gone off.")as they seem to keep coming back. Can you reccommend a treatment please?

I had 4 mature japanese maple (don't know the variety) planted about 2 months ago. In the past couple of weeks one of them, in particular, has developed curled listless leaves gone brown around the edge and some of the leaves have a dusting of what looks like white mould. The bark and branches look ok. I can take a photo if it would help but don't have one to hand at moment.
