Hi to All,

Hi,
I to never feed mine, and prune the short branches with the leaves on all through the growing season to keep the shape which is like two clouds one slightly higher and to the left of the other. I havn't got a clue what it's name is.

wisteria 001.jpg Hi Sam, Brilliant photo's, I think wisteria's are great but mine which is in a large pot and is kept as a standard it only flowers very sparsly these days, it used to flower a lot a few years ago I know it's in the prunning, which I do late autumn and then again in late winter but ...

Hi All,

George.

Hi Sam,
I'll let you off seeing that you have been missing for months, I had heard that you have been living it up in the sun while we have been having this awful weather.
George.

Hi,
Yes ,you should have made the bottom cross piece not as long as the top piece, also it should be placed higher up about 6 inches lower than the top piece, but very good for your first attempt.

DSCF161402.jpg Hi, This is my new front garden I have used my bridge of the four seasons from my last Japanese garden and a few stepping stones also some of my limestone rocks and bought some 8mm to10mm chippings to give it the karasansui feeling which I have raked .

We have just had the hottest March week for years so have been g...

Hi Thy,
I have three kamagata's dotted around in pots and they are okay, I certainly wouldn't say that they where tender as they don't get any special treatment they are just left in the garden all winter, and winter before last was the worst winter we had had for years.
George.

Hi,
Those photo's are brilliant and well worth waiting for.
The buds on my Japanese maples are just starting to swell, I should imagine four to five weeks before they pop.
George

Hi Kevin,
It could maybe have been the frost that got to them but if you have some green shoots coming at least they are still alive so let's hope they survive,also if the compost they have been kept in dried out that could also be a cause.
George.

Hi,
I live in East Yorkshire near Hull.

Hi Kevin,
I don't see why not it will just be like repotting every year, we do it with our bonsai not every year, but sometimes every two or three years. yes the weather should be warming up soon and we can all look forward to the new growth coming,but it was snowing here yesterday.
George.

Hi,
I really couldn't say how they would survive in your cold climate but I do know that in really cold winters here if they are in small pots they need there roots protecting but in the large pots that I use they are quite allright.
George.
