Goodbye cherry tree, hello Clematis
The 15ft tall cherry tree I pruned a few years ago (and probably started its
decline) has been getting weaker and weaker, and this spring it has only about 4 or 5 twigs with blossom on (its about 15ft across and about 15ft high), so I went out and bought a montana that hopefully will cover it. Good idea? Is one enough? -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |

I suspect your Cherry tree has Cherry Blossom blight ......we have just had
to have ours removed for this as otherwise it would have affected our Flowering cherry and any other trees/shrubs in the cherry family "Tumbleweed" wrote in message ...

Shivver me timbers ! Yes I agree, the montana is v prolific. I planted one last spring to cover a shed, it's now in flower and some of the branches increased by 7 feet. Pity the flowers don't last very long. Paul |

There is another cherry a fair way away in the garden that is doing fine and has lots of cherries each year for the birds to eat.. -- Tumbleweed Remove my socks before replying (but no email reply necessary to newsgroups) |

Got the first two but not the last two.

Ours would flower but less and less leaves got increasingly sparse lots of twigs kept falling off lots of lichen type growth on trunk and branches plus oozing from bark "Tumbleweed" wrote in message ...
