You will fit right in I once grew the tallest sunflower at school…. Can I be in the awardee club it was 30 years ago but it’s still one of my greatest horticultural achievements! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackpoolbouncer Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 @e55ex0ldb0y I would usually say no with it not being a gold medal from the rhs but growing the tallest sunflower at school clearly is the peak of horticultural excellence 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e55ex0ldb0y Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 @popespliff Totally off the subject…. I’ve got a fully established ash tree in my garden that has no sign of dieback that was previously surrounded by other ash trees that are no longer there due to the issue. There are now tiny ash trees growing in my lawn which I’m plucking and repotting because I think it may not be susceptible to dieback. Is it worth contacting anyone as I know they are trying to re-establish the species. cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like you have what seem to be resistant trees alongside ones that are now almost dead . I see very few ash seedlings now ,a few years ago they were everywhere . It may well be worth making contact with an environmental group . I would think that collecting the Ash keys from this Autumn would be the best way of passing on your trees resistance to other areas . This would also remove risk of transferring any soil borne fungi to other areas. God its depressing to see our trees under attack . I remember the Devon countryside with all its Elm trees . Good on you for trying to help Cheers PS 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
