did you prune it late in the year ? you may have cut off flowering shoots - if not then i`m no help

How are you growing your Laburnum Cristina?

i am trianing it in to an arch wth the rose going tro it .i have seen it dun and it looks fab. at the vicaridge they said the ground was to rich as it was nxt to the old muck heap and to feed wth tomato feed to counteract it. have not pruned it since last year viv1.just tied it in

Christina if the ground is too rich the last thing you need to do is feed! This could be the problem... lots of leafy growth and no flowers is usual if the soil is too rich.

wot do u surjest i do ?

Don't feed it anything at all... it may not flower this year but hopefully will in future years. I trust the muck heap has been moved.

yes that was used 3 years ago ,it is now a veg bed and had cabbages in it last year they did very well. not fed tree up 2 now but there r roses nxt to it o dear i really wanted flowers this year.

The roses will do fine with the rich soil. Did you prune them well earlier this spring. In general plants do not do well in over rich soil lots of lush leaf and no flowers.

yes did prune them and they r looking gud ,have put some crap soil in the bed and mixed it up a bit . will keep posting on wot happens lol. you wud think that feeding is wot u do as thats wot they keep telling us . i use mirriculgrow once a week on the bank and any new plants. wot do u think. soil there is really rubish ,sandy and rubish underneath .did put bit of muk in planting holes. but i want this bit to b a woodlandie walk .

In general it is not a good idea to put muck in the planting holes. Well rotted compost and otehr organic matter is a different thing. Plants in pots need regular feeding, plants in the ground should get the food they need from the soil.

So what sort of soil do you have Cristina clay, sandy loam?

no i mean the well rotted stuf lol . the soil on the bank is really horrid .very dry and sandy . wen they planted the trees they put loads of crabby stuf under the and then threw a bit of top spil over it. its very compated ,was full of weeds and was hidden from the sun 4 years there r pics on ,but thanxs 4 info
