Yeah, that one cost me nothing, I had all the bits and pieces lying around at home anyway. They need to be facing the sun most of the time, so S or SE facing is preferred apparently. There's plenty of info kicking around online but I saw this nice little guide recently. (I've never bothered with any of the overwintering stuff, just leave them out all the time and they seem to be okay). 183119-Pamphlet-bee-house.pdf

New inhabitants moving in already. There's three tubes been capped off already and it's only been out a few days.

Thanks. I think then it's not the degree of hard pruning, but rather my timing of it that's been the issue. Maybe I've cut the new seasons growth off too early, before the flowers have had a chance to form. I'll try to leave it longer this year, (though its odd that yours looks like that already, and mine is showing no signs of any flowers yet). Regards pollination. I'm sure they're insect, rather than wind. It only takes one busy little bee, (or any other of the various pollinators), to cover an awful lot of little flowers. You must have had a secret intruder in the porch I think!

Quite. What else is any honest, self-respecting dictator meant to do? If you can't intimidate, silence, or lock up your dissenters then what's the point of having all that power?

Nice. What have you done by way of training or pruning to attain them then? Is that stem last year's growth? I've got a grape vine that's never flowered yet, though it's at least 5 years old. I suspect I'm being over zealous in cutting it back each year, (due in part to not wanting it to take up too much space in the greenhouse ).

I do feel for old Greg, (based on what we know so far). He a bit annoying at times, but I don't believe that he's really a wrong'un. I don't reckon he'll be the next Russell Brand or Harvey Weinstein or anything like that. He's just somewhat of an idiot and a dinosaur who's not kept up with the times. I hope I don't get proved wrong in time!

Sorry dude, I must have momentarily taken leave of that all important common sense.

Ash. There's a lot of it going round at the moment, we need a vaccine for it.

Beech? Conifer? Both? Or Neither? 😂

Probably, but I'm not sure to be honest. It's hard to tell as it looks as though it was cut down quite a while ago. -

Sycamore or Lime? -
The have been grown by nature for decades and can now be enjoyed by yourself and all the creatures that care to habit these creations, they are ash but we’re not removed from their previous Home for ash dieback reasons I'm not so sure that they'll get what they want for them.

By way of a follow up. This is the apple tree I ruthlessly cut back last year. It's obviously completely out of shape now, since I had to cut so much out, but what remains is now covered in blossom and new shoits. With no signs of blossom wilt/brown rot or whatever the affliction was. Yet. We'll see how the fruit look in a few months.

I'd say so, yes. English or Common Walnut.

My brother kept an Avocado tree going for years. 10 of so. He kept it in the poly tunnel over winter then moved it out in summer. The extremities used to die back each time, almost back to the base a couple of times, but he'd just cut the dead off and it would sprout back with vigour. Then one spring it never came back. I think he watered it too much over winter, or it was a particularly cold one.
