Recently noticed a lot of dead foliage on my trees and would like to know what is causing it. Young/new growth looks very healthy. There are three trees and it appears to be progressing with the least affected just yellowing and the worst tree very brown. Tried to show the difference in the two pics.

Black spots are scab, spray for it if you want to control it. Timing is important so look it up. Codling Moth (the maggots inside the apples ) can just about be controlled by trapping, get the trap from garden centre or online. Again timing is important. Cut off upright branches, don't just reduce their length. On the tree in the pic I would cut them to leave the drooping branches.

I don't have a photo but they are capable of 600kg/hour. Plenty of pics on Vigo Ltd site.

I make apple juice. I lost most of my crop to frost in late May so these are bought in for the first time ever. I don't have any Peasgood.

My shed has got 15 tons of apples in it so should be good to go.

How do you store them? Paper sacks?

Used to use a paintbrush on a stick and a jam jar on a stick with the glyphosate in. Mix with wallpaper paste to make it less runny/splashy.

Straight grained, seasoned leylandii, light as a feather Fantastic stuff and can usually light it using a match and no paper/firelighters. Getting a supply might not be so easy.

If it is rust stains you can get stuff from Halfords to remove them. Probably worth a try anyway at this stage. Auto Finesse Iron Out 500ml | Halfords UK WWW.HALFORDS.COM Shop the latest Auto Finesse Iron Out 500ml at Halfords UK Use it when we get stains from moss treating lawns with iron. Give it a squirt, brush vigorously with stiff brush wash off with lots of water. Seems to make it even worse initially but does work, try it out of sight first if you are worried.

The car has been targeted by potential dog thieves and had a zip tie fastened to it as a secret sign. That is what all my local FB pages would conclude anyway.

Would you mind putting a pic up of the other side. Nobody ever does and I have no idea what it looks like but always wondered.
-
why don't you just tell them it's a tenner extra for the ones with no free kindling. I would.

Sprayed my spring cabbage 3 times to no avail!

Most likely an off the shelf thing, get down to your local ag machine supplier with the pic.
-
More likely a wide angled joint to allow for the sideways swing rather than a slip clutch. I am not familiar with the machine though.

Just looks like a big wasp to me. Saw a queen wasp today for the first time this autumn so they are about. I have never seen a hornet.

The 7k is what I said I am claiming back off the VAT man this quarter. It is the VAT I have paid out minus the VAT I have charged on goods sold. This last quarter I have been buying building materials on a couple of sheds I am building and I can claim the VAT back, This soon tots up to quite a sum. I have to charge VAT on goods I have sold and that gets taken off the VAT I am claiming back. This quarter (my VAT return is every 3 months) the VAT I am claiming back exceeds the VAT I have collected through sales and I said I will be getting £7k back. That is where the figure comes from. Normally you would expect to have charged more VAT on work or sales than VAT you are claiming back on purchases and you would be paying the excess to HMRC. Hope that helps, ask away if it doesn't

50% is harsh but they'll survive. Will be extra amount of watershoots as said. Worst mistake I regularly see is excess branches reduced in length rather than removed altogether. This just makes what we refer to as feather dusters, branches with loads of useless wispy bits coming out of the end. Keep the main limbs, but open out the centres by removing upright growth. Avoid big cuts (wounds) as they are prime entry points for silverleaf disease.
-
Accountant advises VAT is reclaimable but as it is a building only a certain amount can be offset against tax as an expense. 3% IIRC. Pretty irrelevant in this case as I don't pay a right lot of tax.
-
I can't afford to spend so much that I get £7k back every quarter. This was yard and building construction and a one off. You just need to figure out if it works for your situation, sometimes it does and sometimes not . My son's business is nearly over shreshold and it will make him uncompetitive if he goes over as he buys little and entirely domestic customer base.
-
You just lost £83, I view that as a downside. If most of your customers are domestic there are a lot of downsides like that. I'm registered and most of my trade is commercial so makes no difference fortunately. My return is about to go in and they will be giving me £7k for the last quarter, I have been spending a lot!
-
The downside is that you have to charge VAT. This means to all your domestic customers you just got 20% dearer. If most of you business is domestic you have to think carefully about it

Can we save our family's cherished old APPLE TREE??

The fungus brackets are a sure sign it is doomed. -
Large Bramley apple tree - what to do?
Peasgood replied to Pidgeonpost's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
If you prune the middle out and leave about an inch rather than cutting flush they throw out more but much weaker water shoots. These are very easy to pull off by hand June/July. Makes it much easier to manage. I have grafted half a dozen onto M25 rootstock in the hope I can get some trees just like yours, having said that I also have a hectare of them on M106 at my old place that haven't been pruned for a few years. They are heading the same way. -

Wish it were mine. Lovely tree.
