Firstly my huge grapevine, is losing leaves on a couple of the original very large branches. Cannot see !.
that may be causing this.
Secondly, my Tree Fern which is about 3.5ft tall, is looking very sickly, the new ferns are very pale and seem short in length. Also the trunk has a build up of something white/greyish . This has been there some years, and the specialist who sold it to me, who is fairly local, said a couple years ago not to worry.
When I first bought it many years ago, it was shaded by a trellis with wisteria, all of which is now removed, so the tree is in the sun.
Also, last week I received to italian cypressus, purchased on line. The packaging was mch better than the trees !!!!
I shall plant them on into containers, but not sure what soil to use. Google didn't help much. Any advice please will be welcome. Mrs Bouquet
