You would Jobie be far better using a soil base compost such as John Innes No 2 or, you could use a mixture of a multi purpose compost and John Innes compost. I would like to keep them in a 5 LT plastic pot for now, so what is the best soil to plant them in? Bill replies. I have a fruiting cherry tree and a plum tree. Also, again, if possible mulch around your trees with some well rotted manure. It would also be worthwhile if we do have a very dry summer is occasionally give your trees a good watering which, again will encourage new shoots. What I would also do to encourage new shoots is to feed your trees with a general base tree fertiliser or a tried and trusted fertiliser such as Fish Blood and Bone Meal. If you have any dead branches on your Cherry Tree these will need to be pruned back to live wood and the time for pruning is during the summer period.
I am desolate as there is another flowering tree very near to it that looks as though it may have developed the same disease. Last year there were very few flowers and this year it is even more sick. I have a wonderful thirty year old Japanese flowering cherry tree.
If your tree grows too large the time for pruning is early summertime to avoid infection from Silver Leaf Disease. Prunus Avium along with the majority of flowering Cherries produce their flowers late springtime. With regard to your tree Allen if it is looking healthy I am sure that it will produce the flowers next year. Your Prunus Avium - Wild Cherry - will grow to a height of fifty to sixty feet and produces in late spring profuse white flowers. I have purchased a prunus avius recently it has lots of leaves but no sign of flowers or buds, is this normal? Bill replies. So, whatever the problem, we like to think Bill can sort it out. Now, he's a regular course tutor at Alston Hall, Longridge and Lancaster Adult College.įor three decades, Bill has travelled the county with fellow judges as a regional judge for North West in Bloom.
After training at the under the then Ministry of Agriculture, Bill spent over twenty years at the Department of Biological and Environmental Services at Lancaster University. He has been answering BBC Radio Lancashire listeners' queries for over thirty years, which means he's been there nearly as long as the transmitter!
If it's green and needs watering, Bill can tell you about it. Warton's Bill Blackledge is one of the county's most popular and sought after gardeners.
