wuw thanks! did expect to get an answer so quickly, do you know when it would flower? When i moved in about 4 years ago it was a dead stump, so i watered and fed it when did other "Dead" plants and it came to life, but has never had any flowers on it, so surprised to hear that it can flower
Thank you Hostafan1, I wonder why it hasn't flowered before?
Also could someone identify this tree thats growing in my garden? It seems to be dying, as one side is turning brown and bits are falling off, what do i do to make it greener and healthier looking? If i cut sime of the dead or dying branches will they grow back?
This photo is a few years old but shows its full height and shape
This is what a bit of what the other side looks like
the other side behind this is worse (can't find a photo) I don't know what to do with it as it is looking more and more dead as the years go by. any help much appreciated!
Hi Hostafan1 - there is no sea near enough to us, nearest bit of sea is about 2 miles as the crow flys, between it and i is the city centre, the one up the road from us is completely healthy looking.
Thanks 1Runnybeak1 i guess mine too will just be pretty leaves
I don't think i'll have a say in the matter Davefromabove, as the property is rented, So the tree will probs remain until it is dead. then probs just chopped, doubt they would spend money or time digging it up either...but if not i'm thinking that if it was chopped fairly high-ish i could dig out the centre of it and it would then be made into a tree pot/planter.... but i think that willl be a fair time away yet
Yes I have been using some of my pony poo and mixing it into and around my plants, So hoping this year everything will benefit from it (tho i dont think some of my neighbours were to pleased to have 2 days of a planter with only pony poo in it...i can't smell it but everyone tended to cross the street! haha!)
Diggingdoris i would love it if mine decided to flower as i have had a look at them and they look very pretty with flowers, you are very lucky

photinia fraserii red robin
it does have clusters of creamy white flowers but is really grown for the foliage

late spring, early summer. Any time from April - June depending where you are

could be any number of conifers, so I'm not going to try to name it.
Is the damaged side exposed to sea breezes? as it looks like many trees around this part of N Devon / Cornwall.

My photinia has flower buds on now and some look white and fat enough to open soon. Much earlier than last year.
Could just be old age - happens to us all I'd be having a good think about what to replace it with when the time comes.
Some of that pony poo will help to make good compost to replenish the soil before replanting - conifers are greedy plants.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
