Hi Adam, my back garden is north facing and on the western side I have some ivy growing on a fence panel my question to you is why does it not produce flowers and later on berries?

Last year I bought a small olive tree bearing fruit.
It is now about 4 feet tall and kept close to the kitchen wall for maximum sunlight and also warmth at night.
When should I prune it to maintain an open crown?
Is it advisable to reduce the length of fresh growth to make it bush out?
Any tips on pruning will be gratefully received.
sarah broome- ivy blooms and berries only on mature wood if you trim it it will remain juvenilr forever-cuttings taken from mature ivy will form ivy trees rather trailing-very amusing
Hi adam,weve recently moved house and am looking forward to this years growing season.Theres evidence of a row of runner bean wigwams,how should i prepare that particular patch for this years crop of runners?
I've had my Wisteria for about seven years. It has lovely green leaves in Summer and is spreading out along a fence in a sunny postiion. I have followed all the advice about pruning it twice a year and mulch it well in Spring. What am I doing wrong?
