Question from
Lisa Gallagher
I bought one of these 2 months ago. When planting I noticed a few of the lower leaves weren't looking too healthy but didn't think much of it as the rest of the plant seemed fine.
However, after discovering my Escallonia Iveyii (purchased & planted at the same time) had black spot I've had a closer look and found that my Viburnum and Weigela also have black marks on quite a lot of leaves.
On the Viburnum there seems to be 2 different types of marks, none of which are like those on the Escallonia. Does anybody know if this could also be black spot or is it something else? And, what would I need to do to make it healthy again please?
I treated the Escallonia with Rose Clear Ultra yesterday (as advised by the garden centre I bought it from), would this be suitable for my Viburnum and Weigela if it is black spot?
Please help, I don't want to lose my lovely new plants.
Thank you
Lisa

Question from
Gloria Lewis
Inherited when we bought the house I have just discovered the identiy of this shrub which has been grown against the fence as a tree shape. It does not seem to produce very many flowers but as it is winter flowering I would welcome any advice to get it going.
