either brake binding on or wheel bearing problems, jack up off ground turn wheel by hand, resistance to being turned or noise, rumbling, I guess more likely bearing.

We are home to several Sites of Special Scientific Interest as well as an abundance of wildlife, historical monuments, ancient woodland and rural activity. ''

A client has this weeping beech tree in their garden that has, over the last number of years, become more stressed and contains an amount of dead wood, I have suggested to remove competition from other plants, weeds, ivy, self sets etc. from around the base of the tree, to apply mulch, a light application of fertilizer and to remove the dead wood, there is no reason to suspect compaction of ground due to little footfall or mechanical reasons, there is possibility of dry conditions due to tree situated on a bank but would have thought this wet spring may have ruled this out, the tree also shows signs of either or both squirrel damage or sun scorch to tops of branches, any suggestions are welcomed, thank you

Millennium Seed Bank Millennium Seed Bank | Science & Conservation At Kew an interesting and informative building I thought well designed contains photographic history of the site as well as story of the seed bank told in a most open and easy to understand way with interpretation panels next to views of the day to day working of the seed bank staff and machinery through windows/ glazed walls. Again the whole site a must visit place.

The garden today covers some 500 acres and includes walled and water gardens, woodland and wetland conservation areas. It was largely created by Gerald Loder (later Lord Wakehurst) who purchased the estate in 1903 and spent 33 years developing the gardens.He was succeeded by Sir Henry Price, under whose care the Loder plantings matured, Sir Henry left Wakehurst Place to the nation in 1963 and the Royal Botanic Gardens took up a lease from the National Trust in 1965. Wakehurst is home to the National Collections of Betula , Hypericum, Nothofagus and Skimmia. The Great Storm of 1987 decimated Loder's plantings, toppling 20,000 trees ouch!! Since then, Kew has redesigned the gardens to create a walk through the temperate woodlands of the world. ( I borrowed the above words to give info on the estate )

works of art feature throughout the site a good number themed on seed and pollen with an interesting section on pollination in the gardens complete with bee hive with warnings!
-
the fruit reminded me a little of litchi ! with excellent crop this year, good luck with your orchard interesting project
-
David, Wakehurst certainly warrants a family visit you would not be disappointed, I to raised an eyebrow at the Yew, seemingly smothered in other foliage until recently, interesting aerial roots type of thing going on, possibly held/ dragged down long enough to take root? high standard of work with explanation/ justification for arboricultural and other works throughout on going, I think permanent tree gang of 4 direct employed, a special place to work lucky people spandit I first thought it to be arbutus spp. related! if it were in Portugal they would be having a go at making Aguardente de Medronhos with it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medronho, as you are still here to post then I guess it is not poisonous as I was told !!? , looks as if it should edible. Franklin Tree one I have not been aware of in the past and not one that would have taken notice of had it not been pointed out to me

managed to be at the meeting point for the 11.30 guided tour led by Valerie, a Kew garden volunteer, informative hour or so with history of house and family, detailed info on national trust and Kew involvement, including loss of substantial amount of government, DEFRA, funding in the last few years, resulting in controversial carpark charging and other ideas to help income stream, this site includes Kew's Millennium Seed Bank! and is a very visitor friendly building, my thanks and admiration to Valerie and her colleagues who have the ability to retain information and gently give teach this to visiting groups
