Help Rejuvinate an Injured, Tired Tree :-)
Comments (5)The tree is obvioulsy a conifer. I can't identify the species from those photos. - The cuts in the bark are not a problem. The tree will heal itself without any treatment. - Most conifers will not ever regrow if cut back. If you do want a crown reduction make sure you know exactly what species you're dealing with or you could easily kill the tree. - It doesn't look to me like the tree is dangerously near the house unless you're on a specific type of clay soil that shrinks or swells according to how much water the soil holds. This is not that common. If you want to check then www.subsidencesupport.co.uk has a map of where these soils are. - The dead bits are actually a normal part of growth for coniferous trees. Your tree started out looking like a bush and all the bare trunk you see is a result of the tree killing off the lower branches which aren't getting enough sunlight any more and so aren't worth the tree saving. The nutrients and water are withdrawn from those needles and the needles turn brown, and will fall off soon. You can send someone up to snip off the dead branches if you think it looks unattractive or just leave them to fall off by themselves. They should not be big enough to be a danger - if your tree is losing big branches then there really is something wrong but from the photo it only looks like thin ones. Your tree looks normal and healthy to me. You might want a couple more branches off if it now looks lopsided, or the dead ones removed, but that's all....See MoreHELP TRAILING PLANT IDENTIFICATION
Comments (2)Yep I agree. Fantastically easy to grow - they put up with a load of abuse and neglect. They're also super easy to propagate, just cut a bit off, take the leaves off a node and put it in soil, they root in no time....See MoreHELP FOILAGE PLANT IDENTIFICATION
Comments (1)I think this is Pilea libanensis. Lots of common names including ‘grey artillery plant’ or my favourite ‘silver sprinkles’. Not sure about the clover leaf stems, this could be an entirely separate plant. Two for the price of one! ;)...See MoreHelp to choose trees/shrubs/plants for 2 beds at front of house
Comments (9)Hi. To create a sense of texture and a feeling of height, why not include a dwarf Japanese Acer in front of something taller. Many have interest all through the season, with changing leaf foliage. Also something to consider whilst look for a landscape designer to help, is whether you want a restricted colour palette or not? Such as greys/greens/whites/purple or a wider variety of colour. Love to see it when all finished. Also if you are on Instagram it might be worth following the guys on ‘My Tiny Estate’ as they plant up different areas of their own property. They are learning all the time too. 🌿...See More- 3 months ago
