Nice one. There is also a variegated with purple flowers, better contrast I think than the variegated with white flowers.

Mine is less pink and more "coral" colour Anget and unfortunately it does not keep its colour and fades to almost beige in time. Still in tight bud now. Very showy and lovely when it first opens.

You are lucky that you can buy so cheap. I do not have that luxury on this Island. I am paying high prices and am annoyed when plant dies.

That is Vogel.

Good luck with your magnolia Cariad18. Plants grown in pots do not get that big.

Your magnolia is very pretty Julia. It just got frost bite this year. It happens . We get that occasionally too.

We live in forested area on 8acres of land Cariad18, so yes, very peaceful.
Thank you Linda. We love our birds :-)

Dear Anget and Sheila - I will definitely pass on your best wishes to her.

I think we have about 20 different varieties, lots very small from supermarkets. We are grouping them on the patio so that it doesn't look so much like a runway! I am bound to lose a number of them but enjoy them while they last! Trouble is, OH likes them too. This is more than enough, Meadow.

May I ask how many in total?..Are you dotting them around or having small grouping areas?

I do as well,Chris...she must have help with that huge garden.

I'm not sure the problem is being caused by aphids, even if the aphids are cherry blackfly - that usually makes the leaves curl and those leaves may fall, but does not affect fruiting. There is likely another cause, so observation of what exactly happens at various stages seems necessary - for instance, is the tree healthy in terms of the trunk, branches, shoots and foliage? does it set blossom okay? do fruitlets start to form shortly afterwards? If it does, when precisely does the fruit start to shrink and shrivel and does it have any symptoms on those fruitlets beforehand, that sort of thing...

I would go for Enkianthus campanulatus. Can't identify the variety though.
On question - Can anyone identify this tree
Stunning colour.

I agree with you about the important things. At least in our own gardens we can try to make a difference. I remember decades ago discovering Chris Baines book on wildlife gardening and I recently acquired the Butterfly Bros. book which is full of great ideas. We have kept our new gate high off the ground as we have regular evening visits from the hedgehog(s) and keep scrapes under the fences for them to come and go, too. The cat is a bit bemused when she meets them!

Oh my goodness, poor Rose. Thank you for letting us know, and please do pass on my best wishes.
On blog - Rose will be back soon.
That all sounds brilliant Cal. Blackbirds, dunnocks and robins entertain us every day, using the bird bath for a good shower … their enthusiastic fluttering always makes us smile 🙂.

Give her my best.

OK Cal, but it is quite immature so far … lovely leaves though!

Agreed.

How large is the tree? If reachable just squish the aphids with your fingers
How bird friendly is your garden? I have blue tits which are forever foraging for insects, maybe try to encourage more birds with hiding spots, shrubs & the like?
Check the trunk for ants using the tree as an aphid farm

I really like her programme too and she has such a natural manner as she explains things. She is very helpful and I learn something each time I watch.

Still beautiful despite the snow. I have this one in my garden too, it’s nice to see how big they can get, mine is in a pot though.

No it’s for my spent daffodils in my grass under my apple trees. Could I also use it on my geranium?
