Sorbus coming in to full colour with pink berries

mine not to good but only had it a year karen, should i feed it in spring do you think, hardly any berries and leaves were small this year.

Hmmm..wonder if it is badly drained San? I would feed it in the spring and see how it goes...that's a bit of a disappointment isn't it San...that tree looked so good when you planted it. :( Mind you, I have three - all Pink Pagoda and one is about three times the size of the other two and the smallest one is really pathetic. Funny eh?

i planted it where it doesnt get water logged but heavy clay here so who knows, will get some tree feed and try, then hope, thanx karen :o)

I had to take out my Malus 'Royalty' earlier San....it was in heavy clay area and it just couldn't get it's roots down. Bonemeal is good for the roots isn't it....if you have any, sprinkle some of that around it and fork it in...it might help. San, I did a little bit of painting today!

thanx karen will try that, glad you got some painting done, hows it comming along, i missed art last week so going tomoz, i need to paint to clear my mind hahah

Not great, but I've resigned myself to just finishing this one somehow....just keep putting a few strokes on and see what happens! I did manage to scrape off all the thick bits I wasn't happy with using a stanley knife and once I'd done it I felt a bit better about it, so I did a bit more work on it.

im sure its better than you see it karen, we artist are always critical of our own work, if you send me a photo i will give you my opion, truthfull but kind :o))

Not quite ready for that yet, but thank you! :))

ok in your own time.. quick as you can haha, but dont be to hard on yourself ok x

Doh....I'll try San...but it's hard isn't it!! lol

yes i agree lol

Must go now San....my neck is actually starting to burn! Have to go and lie down...been getting a lot of dizzy spells again and I'm certain its my neck that's the cause of it....see you later....keep painting! :)) x

ok karen, take care, im going to, feet up and chill, xx
my neck does that to, so its being on here ;o(

Looking very nice - Berries are lovely to see to cheer our winter days up

'Pink Pagoda' is one on my list for after the move, that and
Malus 'Royalty'. I will be doing soil tests on prospective gardens in the hope of getting something better than I have at the moment (shouldn't be difficult!)

I love, what I presume is your greenhouse? Did you make the design?
