Hi everyone! Ok here goes...I've never posted pics before so hopefully they'll work and be in the right order and stuff. So I have three trees I want to talk about, two in need of your help and one doing ok which I just want to show off! I'll start with my Chinese elm...
Chinese elm:
Hopefully if I've done this right the elm pics will show first underneath this post! So my elm I've had for a good while now, around a year. My dad picked it up on sale at the garden centre for £5 as it was dying, it looked awful. With some tlc and a new pot it turned around and looked fantastic. Covered in leaves and looked really healthy. Recently (in the last month) I've been having trouble with the leaves turning yello, brown, crispy and falling off. I thought lack of water so I gave more...this made it worse so I gave less...this made it worse! I can't figure it out, it hasn't been moved, isn't in a draught, has good drainage and was healthy in this position until a short time ago. The only thing I can think off that has changed is our crazy British summer, boiling one minute freezing the next although the temp. inside is fairly constant. So please help if you can!
Some sort of pine!:
I've recently (two weeks ago) inherited some kind of a pine and have a few questions. As you can see she's a big old girl so I want to be very careful not to lose her. Also my first evergreen so I'm a bit lost! I'd like to know
a) what is it?
b) does it's position look ok?
c) should I repot?
Also the tree has lots of one sided growth (previous owner obviously didn't turn it) will it rectify itself or always be this way? Also should I prune it and if so in what style, it doesn't seem to have a definate shape but there may be one hiding under all that mess that I just can't see!
My Fukien Tea:
This tree is my baby, so easy to care for and has been flowering now for nearly 6 months so I must be doing something right! It lives on the shelf next to the elm and I just thought I'd show her off cos she's gorgeous!
Once again sorry about the length of the post but I may as well get it all out in one! I hope somebody can help, all opinions appreciated and considered!
