Hops

plant that is so easy to grow. An added bonus is that the bees and butterflies love them and blue tits and robins enjoy the seeds in the winter. I have the hop plants clambering up an apple tree and up my pergola. They die down in the winter and new by auntie betty

Climbing Ivy

to it in the late summer (to avoid disturbing nesting birds - it's a favourite spot for robins, spotted flycatchers and blackbirds). Or, if you've got the space you could trim it every 2 or 3 years instead of every year - that'll give it the chance to produce by Labradouble

Mystery Plant

for such an impressive tree and it had to go. we're planning on some more appropriately sized cordon apple trees Looks like Photina red robin to me, although they don't usually lose their leaves. It may have a nutrient deficiency. I have two standard ones in my garden by bookmonster

New border with complications?

about acicidy or alkalinity. If you want something reddish, try a photinia Red Robin. Keeping it pruned will control its size and encourage the production of fresh red shoots through the growing season. Thanks, I already have several photinia's dotted by SandLake

Failed Garlic?

it in the ground now, it needs a short blast of cold weather. I also keep the soil moist until shoots appear than I keep the area from drying out, from then on until harvest in late summer or when shoots start to die back. Robin, you don't say where you got by Robin6
