  1. Cool that's cheered me up - haven't fertilised the grass for a little while but we did used to have green thumb but came to conclusion it wasn't worth it - maybe it had a benefit after all
  2. Thanks guys - They aren't new buds though - they appeared last September and since it didn't produce any new leaves at that point I am slightly concerned Rgds

  4. Hi guys I am not a gardener so be gentle. I had a camperdown elm which unfortunately died unexpectedly about 18 months ago Unable to get a replacement about a year ago we planted a weeping purple beech which seemed to establish ok in the same spot. I am though a bit worried as having budded last September it just dropped it's leaves and has been looking a bit sorry for itself ever since. Judy wanted your views - I see everything else busying with new spring life but my new baby is just sat rgere looking at me. Branches are quite pliable which i guess is a good sign. What do you reckon - do I need to do anything with it or will nature take her course in April ? Many thks Andy will try to post some pics in a second
  5. Thanks eddy - the tree is about 10 years in the ground here plus however long it took to graft/grow the original wytch elm. is it likely after so long ? - I would have thought instinctive ly that this would have shown earlier ? Many thanks Andy
  6. Guys the tree has grown some leaves in a couple of places but j don't see any more buds so a tad concerned we are losing the battle? Is there anything else we can do - it has been rather wet and I wonder whether the tree has decided it's winter and will try again in the spring. Any ideas appreciated as some of the new growth has died back. I was in Dundee last week and the company I visited was half a mile from camperdown country park so I took the opportunity to see its ancestor. I resisted the temptation to take a cutting though......... should I take a cutting of my tree just in case !? Andy
  7. Thanks - I wasnt sure what they were but removed them anyway. Is there a fungal treatment we should give the tree now or is it best left to recover itself ? Many thanks Andy
  8. Many thanks Alec - fingers crossed - it certainly doesn't have the signs of Ded We had ants on the tree just before it shed - dealt with them - could they have caused the distress ? Cheers Andy
  9. Thanks growth is below and above the line - I guess that is good news. Having removed the remainder of the sported areas yesterday there seems already to be fresh shoots so there is life in the old girl yet ! Are these all created by grafting ? - so is the structure below and above the line different ? We are in Towcester Northamptonshire Cheers Andy
  10. Many thanks David you have answered a 7 year old conundrum! I wasn't sure it was an elm but the natural history website said it was although not which type. I am now more worried that this could be dutch elm disease ? - any thoughts on this appreciated Many thanks andy
  11. Another photo - any interest guys ?
